Detailed Solution

Given data : It is given to identify  compound D in the following chemical reaction. 

CH3CH2OHP+I2AetherMgB HCHOCH2O+ D  

Explanation 
When ethanol is treated with a phosphorus-iodine mixture, ethyl iodide CH3CH2I (A) is formed.

When compound A reacts with Mg metal in ether, it produces ethyl magnesium iodide CH3CH2MgI (B).

When compound B reacts with formaldehyde, it forms compound  CH3CH2-CH2- OMgX  (C), which when hydrolyzed yields n propyl alcohol CH3CH2CH2-OH (D).

n-propyl alcohol is the compound D.

The chemical reaction is as follows.
