उत्तर
| Ethanal | Propanal |
| Ethanal gives a yellow precipitate on heating with iodine in the presence of sodium hydroxide (positive Iodoform test). | Propanal will not give any reaction on heating with iodine in the presence of sodium hydroxide (negative Iodoform test). |
Ethanal gives the iodoform test, but propanal does not.

You are given four organic compounds “A”, “B” , “C” and “D”. The compounds “A”, “B” and “C” form an orange-red precipitate with 2, 4 DNP reagent. Compounds “A” and “B” reduce Tollen’s reagent while compounds “C” and “D” do not. Both “B” and “C” give a yellow precipitate when heated with iodine in the presence of NaOH. Compound “D” gives brisk effervescence with sodium bicarbonate solution.
