Hello!
We will be given three bottles of an unknown organic compound, two will be a pure substance and the third will be a mixture of the previous two. How can you identify which bottle is the mixture? When doing the experiments, should you assume that the bottle which gives mixed results are the mixture? Is there a better and more scientific approach to the problem?
What is a simple test to identify hexan-1-ol and methylpentane-1-ol? I know that the compounds have slightly different boiling point and solubility in water; however that is difficult to measure.
Thank you in advance!
