The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the compound with the molecular formula \( C_3H_6O \) based on the given information regarding its reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compound**: The molecular formula \( C_3H_6O \) indicates that the compound could be an aldehyde, a ketone, or an alcohol. 2. **Tollens' Test**: The problem states that the compound did not give a silver mirror with Tollens' reagent. This is a crucial piece of information because Tollens' reagent is used to test for aldehydes, which means the compound cannot be an aldehyde. 3. **Oxime Formation**: The compound does react with hydroxylamine to form an oxime. This reaction is characteristic of carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones). Since we already established that the compound is not an aldehyde, it must be a ketone. 4. **Idoform Test**: The question asks which test the compound can give a positive result for. The Iodoform test is specifically given by methyl ketones (ketones with the structure \( RCOCH_3 \)). Since our compound is a ketone and has the molecular formula \( C_3H_6O \), it can be represented as \( CH_3COCH_3 \) (acetone), which is a methyl ketone. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the compound \( C_3H_6O \) can give a positive Iodoform test. ### Final Answer: The compound \( C_3H_6O \) can give a positive Iodoform test. ---
