Step-by-step solution
Initially, the heating effect reaction takes place, in which carbon dioxide gas is released. In iodoform reaction, three times the acid base reaction takes place and three times iodine are connected. Then, the hydroxide ion behaves as a nucleophile and attacks on the carbonyl carbon to form acid and iodoform as shown below:
