Bottles containing and
lost their original labels. They were labelled A and B for testing. A and B were separately taken in a test tube and boiled with
solution. The end solution in each tube was made acidic with dilute
and then some
solution was added. Substance B gave a yellow precipitate. Which one of the following statements is true for this experiment?

B was
Addition of was unnecessary.
As we have learnt,
Benzyl halides undergo nuclephilic substitution reaction easily while Phenyl halide does not. For Phenyl halide to give the reaction, high temperature and pressure conditions are required (623 K , 300 atm).
Thus, the benzyl halide undergoes substitution with forming a Benzyl alcohol while the Iodide ion comes into the solution in the form of
which gives a yellow precipitate upon addition of
Hence, the correct answer is Option (1)
