REACTION OF ALCOHOLS AIM: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the properties of the alcohols ethanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol, and to compare the reactivities of a series of isomeric alcohols (with the formula C4H9OH). EQUIPMENT: 250 ml beaker Thermometer 5 large test tubes Bunsen, tripod and gauze mat Dropper Metal tongs Graduated cylinder (10 ml) 5 ml sodium dichromate solution [Na2Cr2O7] 0.1 mol/L 5 ml sulfuric acid [H2SO4] 6 mol/L 2 ml potassium permanganate solution [KMnO4] 0.01 mol/L 4 pieces of sodium 6 ml ethanol [CH3CH2OH] 6 ml 2-methyl-2-propanol [(CH3)3COH] 6 ml 1-butanol [CH3CH2CH2CH2OH] 6 ml 2-butanol [CH3CH2CHOHCH3] PROCEDURE: Part A: Reaction of Alcohols with Oxidising Agents – Reaction with Dichromate Ion 1. 100 ml of water was heated to 80º in a 250 ml over a Bunsen. 2. The Bunsen was turned off. 3. 2 ml of ethanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol were placed into 4 separately labelled test ...
