Compounds W, X, Y and Z are isomers of each other with the molecular formula C｡H,CIO. All four isomers contain a benzene ring. Only one of the isomers contains a chiral centre. The results of six tests carried out on W, X, Y and Z are shown in the table. observations with each isomer test W X Y Z 1 add cold AgNO3(aq) white ppt. forms immediately none white ppt. forms very slowly none 2 heat with NaOH(aq), white ppt. none white ppt. none then add dilute HNO3 + AgNO3(aq) 3 add NaOH(aq) + I2(aq) none pale yellow ppt. none none 4 warm with Fehling's none none red ppt. none solution 5 add cold, dilute, no change no change no change decolourises acidified KMnO4(aq) 6 add Br2(aq) no change no change no change decolourises and forms white ppt.
