Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Phenylethanol, `C_(6)H_(5) overset(OH) overset(|)(CH)CH_(3)` contain sthe grouping `- underset(OH)(CH)CH_(3)` and therefore will given idoform test. `C_(6)H_(5) underset(OH) underset(CH)CH_(3) overset(I_(2)"NaOH") to underset("Yellow ppt")(CHI_(3))`
On the other hand, 2-Phenylethanol, C,H,CH,CH,OH does not contain `-underset(OH)(CHCH_(3))` group and therefore, it will not give iodoform test.
