Question

Bottles containing $${C_6}{H_5}I$$  and $${C_6}{H_5}C{H_2}I$$   lost their original labels. They were labelled $$A$$  and $$B$$  for testing. $$A$$  and $$B$$  were separately taken in test tubes and boiled with $$NaOH$$  solution. The end solution in each tube was made acidic with dilute $$HN{O_3}$$  and some $$AgN{O_3}$$  solution added. Solution $$B$$  gave a yellow precipitate. Which one of the following statements is true for the experiment?

A. Addition of $$HN{O_3}$$  was unnecessary
B. $$A$$ was $${C_6}{H_5}I$$  
C. $$A$$ was $${C_6}{H_5}C{H_2}I$$
D. $$A$$ and $$B$$ can't be predicted by this experiment
Answer :   $$A$$ was $${C_6}{H_5}I$$
Solution :
Since $$B$$  gives yellow ppt. with $$\frac{{AgN{O_3}}}{{HN{O_3}}},B$$   must be $${C_6}{H_5}C{H_2}I$$   and hence $$A$$  is $${C_6}{H_5}I.$$
