The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the possible isomers of the carbonyl compound with the formula C9H10O, which is a benzene derivative. The compound gives an orange precipitate with 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP) and a yellow precipitate with iodine in the presence of aqueous NaOH, indicating it contains a carbonyl group and is likely to have a methyl ketone structure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Functional Group**: - The compound is a carbonyl compound (C=O) since it gives a positive test with 2,4-DNP. - The yellow precipitate with iodine in NaOH indicates the presence of a methyl ketone (C=O with a CH3 group). 2. **Determine the Structure**: - The molecular formula is C9H10O. - Since we need a ketone (due to the haloform test), the structure must include a -COCH3 group. 3. **Count the Carbons**: - The base structure of benzene has 6 carbons. - We need to add 3 more carbons to the structure, which can be done in various ways. 4. **Identify Possible Isomers**: - **Isomer 1**: Place the -COCH3 group at the para position of the benzene ring and add a propyl group (C3H7) at the ortho position. - **Isomer 2**: Place the -COCH3 group at the ortho position and add an ethyl group (C2H5) at the meta position. - **Isomer 3**: Place the -COCH3 group at the meta position and add an isopropyl group (C3H7) at the para position. - **Isomer 4**: An aliphatic structure where the carbonyl group is not directly attached to the benzene ring, such as phenyl with a -CH2COCH3 group. 5. **Verify the Isomers**: - Each of these structures must satisfy the molecular formula C9H10O and must be able to give the required tests (2,4-DNP and haloform test). 6. **Count the Total Isomers**: - After analyzing the structures, we find that there are a total of 4 distinct isomers possible for the compound A. ### Final Answer: The total number of isomers possible for 'A' is **4**.
