One mole of an organic compound A with the formula `C_(3)H_(8)O` reacts completely with two moles of HI to from X and Y. When Y is boiled with aqueous alkali it forms Z.Z answers the iodoform test. The compound A is

Options

A. propan -2-o1
B. propan -1-o1
C. a secondary alcohol
D. methoxyethane.

Answer

D

Explanation

`underset((A))underset("Methoxyethane")(CH_(3)OCH_(2)CH_(3))overset(HI)tounderset((X))(CH_(3)I)+CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)OHoverset(HI)tounderset((Y))(CH_(3)CH_(2))I+H_(2)O`
`underset((Y))(CH_(3)CH_(2))Iunderset(OH^(-))overset("aqueous")tounderset((Z))(CH_(3)CH_(2))OH`
Z answers iodoform tets ,
