The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which of the following statements is wrong about the Adoform test, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Adoform Test The Adoform test is a chemical reaction that helps identify the presence of methyl ketones or certain aldehydes. The general reaction can be represented as: \[ Y \text{C} = \text{O} \text{CH}_3 + \text{I}_2 + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Carboxylic Acid Salt} + \text{CHI}_3 \] where CHI3 (iodoform) is the yellow precipitate that indicates a positive result. ### Step 2: Analyzing Each Statement 1. **Statement A**: "All methyl ketones give a positive Adoform test." - This statement is **correct**. Methyl ketones (having the structure RCOCH3) will always yield a positive Adoform test. 2. **Statement B**: "Acetyldehyde is the only aldehyde that gives Adoform test." - This statement is **correct**. Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) is the only aldehyde that can give a positive Adoform test due to the presence of the methyl group. 3. **Statement C**: "All secondary alcohols give a positive Adoform test." - This statement is **incorrect**. Not all secondary alcohols will yield a positive Adoform test. For example, a secondary alcohol that does not lead to the formation of a methyl ketone upon oxidation will not give a positive result. 4. **Statement D**: "Any alcohol that can be oxidized to an acetyl group gives a positive Adoform test." - This statement is **correct**. If an alcohol can be oxidized to form an acetyl group (C=O with a methyl group), it will give a positive Adoform test. ### Conclusion After analyzing all statements, we find that **Statement C** is the incorrect one. ### Final Answer The wrong statement is: **"All secondary alcohols give a positive Adoform test."** ---
