deduce the presence of a CH\(_3\)CH(OH)- group in an alcohol, CH\(_3\)CH(OH)-R, from its reaction with alkaline I\(_2\)(aq) to form a yellow precipitate of tri-lodomethane and an ion, \( RCO_2^-\)

recall the reactions (including reagents and conditions) by which alkenes can be produced: (a) elimination of HX from a halogenoalkane by ethanolic NaOH and heat (b) dehydration of an alcohol, by using a heated catalyst (e.g. \( Al_2O_3 \)) or a concentrated acid (e.g. concentrated \( H_2SO_4 \)) (c) cracking of a longer chain alkane
