Answer #1

Grignard reagent is destroyed in presence of H2O as per the given reaction:--

Addition of dry ice makes sure that there is no contamination of water in Grignard reagent & also it prevents the contact of moisture with Grignard reagent.

If TLC is taken without addition of dry ice, grignard reagent will destroy by get into contact with atmospheric moisture, So two spots will be shown on TLC corresponding to grignard reagent, one of the R-H and other of OH-Mg-X
