JEE Main 2026 — 2 April, Morning Shift — Question 54

Match List-I with List-II.

List-I Mixture of CompoundsList-II Reagent used to distinguish
A. Diethyl amine + Ethyl amineI. Bromine water
B. Acetaldehyde + AcetoneII. CHCl3+KOH,Δ\mathrm{CHCl}_{3}+\mathrm{KOH}, \Delta
C. Ethanol + PhenolIII. Neutral FeCl3\mathrm{FeCl}_{3}
D. Benzoic acid + Cinnamic acidIV. Ammonical silver nitrate

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

  2. Option B:

    A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

  3. Option C:

    A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

  4. Option D:

    A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

Phenol gives violet colour with neutral FeCl3\mathrm{FeCl}_{3} not ethanol.

1∘1^{\circ} amine gives positive test with CHCl3/KOH\mathrm{CHCl}_{3} / \mathrm{KOH} not 2∘2^{\circ} amine.

Aldehyde gives positive test with ammonical silver nitrate not ketone.

Cinnamic acid gives bromine water test.
