An alkyl halide with molecular formula, $${C_6}{H_{13}}Br$$ on dehydrohalogenation gives two isomeric alkenes $$X$$ and $$Y$$ with molecular formula, $${C_6}{H_{12}}.$$ On reductive ozonolysis $$X$$ and $$Y$$ gave four compounds $$C{H_3}COC{H_3},C{H_3}CHO,$$ $$C{H_3}C{H_2}CHO$$ and $${\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}CHCHO.$$ The alkyl halide is
Alkyl chloride or bromide undergo substitution and get converted to an alkyl iodide on treatment with a solution of sodium iodide in acetone. e.g.
\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Br+NaI\xrightarrow{\text{acetone}}C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}I+NaBr\]
This reaction is also known as Finkelstein Reaction.

Which of the following is most reactive towards aqueous $$NaOH?$$
Aromatic halides are less reactive than alkyl or aralkyl halides. Hence, $${C_6}{H_5}C{H_2}Cl$$ is the most reactive towards aq. $$NaOH.$$

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 then some $$AgN{O_3}$$ solution was added. Substance B gave a yellow precipitate. Which one of the following statements is true for this experiment ?
