The compound `C_(2)H_(4)Cl_(2)` has 2 isomers and they can be distinguished by the reaction with

A

aq. KOH

B

alc. KOH

C

bromine water

D

`NaNH_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The two isomers of `C_2H_4Cl_2` are `CH_2Cl-CH_2Cl` (vic dihalide) and `CH_3CHCl_2` (gem dihalide). They can be distinguished by aq. KOH. The former on reaction with aq. KOH form `CH_2OH-CH_2OH,` as viscous syrupy liquid having higher boiling point whereas the latter forms `CH_3-CHO.`
