Correct answer: B
The question asks:
Which compound will produce a precipitate with ?
However, the actual structures/formulae for Options A, B, C, and D are missing in the prompt. Since reaction with depends entirely on the nature of the halogen-containing compound, the options are essential.
1. Principle involved
When an organic halide is treated with (usually alcoholic ), a precipitate of silver halide may form:
But this happens readily only when the halide ion can be released easily.
Compounds that usually give precipitate readily
- Tertiary alkyl halides
- Allylic halides
- Benzylic halides
These react fast because they form relatively stable carbocations or undergo easy ionization.
Compounds that usually do not give precipitate easily
- Aryl halides (like chlorobenzene, bromobenzene)
- Vinyl halides
This is because the bond has partial double-bond character and is difficult to break.
2. Issue with this question
Since the structures/options are not visible, it is impossible to independently derive whether A, B, C, or D gives the precipitate.
3. Comparison with stored answer
The stored correct answer is B. Because the options are missing, I cannot verify it from first principles.
So I cannot confidently confirm the correctness of B, though I will report the stored answer as the only available answer choice indication.
