1) Compare and explain the difference in the reactivity of the alcohols; Propan-2-ol and Butan-2-ol. Include intermolecular forces in your discussion. (experiment performed: 1 drop of KMnO4, 2 drops of H2SO4, 3 drops of the specific alcohol)
2) Butan-1-ol can undergo oxidation to create butanal. An unorganized chemist has forgotten to label two flasks! They know that one contains butan-1-ol and the other contains butanal. Suggest a method that the chemist could use to determine the identity of the contents of the flasks without using any chemical reactions.
