(i) Acetophenone and Benzophenone:- 

Acetophenone and benzophenone can be distinguished by iodoform test.

Acetophenone will give the yellow precipitate of iodoform, but benzophenone will not react.

(ii) Ethanal and Propanal :- Ethanal and propanal can be distinguished by iodoform test.

Yellow precipitate of iodoform will be formed from ethanal on heating with iodine and sodium hydroxide solution.
