Bottles containing C₆H₅I and C₆H₅CH₂I 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 HNO₃ and some AgNO₃ solution added. Solution B gave a yellow precipitate. Which one of the following statements is true for the experiment?

A was C₆H₅I

The correct answer is option 2. A was C₆H₅I

Since the bottle labelled A does not give a precipitate. Therefore, A was \(C_6H_5I\). Substance labelled B gives a yellow precipitate. Thus, B was \(C_6H_5CH_2I\).
