Use an Iodoform test
Iodoform is used as a disinfectant, ear-hair remover, and it is used in packaging.
Iodoform has the chemical formula CHI3; it is a crystalline solid, volatile, yellow, with a characteristic odor. Iodoform was used as antiseptic.
yellow precipitate will form
86.13 grams/mole
Iodoform test is valid only for ethanol.
Hi, Iodoform test is used for the detection of methyl ketones as methyl ketones give positive iodoform test. In this test, methyl ketone is treated with iodine (I2) in the presence of base such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to give iodoform(CHI3 - a light yellow coloured ppt). Chemistry of iodoform test is: Secondary alcohols also give positive iodoform test because during the reaction conditions, it gets oxidized to a methyl ketone.
no, because ethanol gives iodoform reactions
Use an Iodoform test
Lubricating oils will dissolve in 2-Butanone. 2-Butanone is a liquid that contains no color and has a sweet smelling odor to it.
Ethanol is the only primary alcohol to give the iodoform test due to the presene of methyl group attached to alpha carbon atom.
Structure of phenyl acetic acid (C8H8O2) is attached below.

2-Butanone, also known as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), is a colorless liquid with a sweet, but sharp odor. 2-Butanone is manufactured in large amounts for use in paints, glues, and other finishes because it rapidly evaporates and will dissolve many substances. It will quickly evaporate into the air. 2-Butanone is often found dissolved in water or as a gas in the air. 2-Butanone is also a natural product made by some trees and is found in some fruits and vegetables. The exhausts of cars and trucks release 2-butanone into the air. 2-Butanone is usually found in the air, water, and soil of landfills and hazardous waste sites.
because 2-butanone is a mixture so ethanol and water do not but mixtures do.
Do an iodoform test. Use an aqueous solution of iodine and potassium iodide added to basic solutions of 2-pentanone and 3-pentanone.The iodoform reaction is a classical test for methyl ketones. A light-yellow precipitate of iodoform forms immediately with the methyl ketone of 2-pentanone.To confirm:1H NMR3-pentanone will show only 2 signals: a triplet at ~1.33 and a quartet at ~2.352-pentanone will show 4 signals: a triplet at ~0.90, a sextet at ~1.55, a singlet at ~2.05 and a triplet at ~2.40
it is a ketone CH3CO group in carbonyl compound
