Chemistry - Carbonyl compounds Question with Solution | TestHub

${\mathrm{I}}_2$ and ${\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{CO}}_3$ react with acetophenone $\left({\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_5{\mathrm{COCH}}_3\right)$ to give yellow ppt. of ${\mathrm{CHI}}_3$ but benzophenone $\left({\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_5{\mathrm{COC}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_5\right)$ does not and hence can be used to distinguish between them.
