Vinyl chloride and ethyl chloride can be distinguished by:

ALucas reagent
B$$KOH,Ag{NO}_{3}$$
Correct Answer
C$$AgCl$$
D$$HCl/AgCl$$

Solution

a. Lucas reagent will not react with both, since it is a test to distinguish between $${1}^{o}, {2}^{o}$$ and $${3}^{o}$$ alcohols.
c. $$AgCl$$ will not react with both.
d. $$Hcl/AgCl$$ will not react with both.
