1.	An alcohol (x) gives blue colorin Victormayer's test and 3.7g of X when treated with metallic sodium liberates 560 mL of hydrogen at 273 K and 1 atm pressure what will be the possible structure of X?
Answer» `CH_(3)CH(OH)CH_(2)CH_(3)` `CH_(3)-CH(OH)-CH_(3)` `CH_(3)-C(OH)-(CH_(3))_(2)` `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH(OH)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)` Solution :`2R-OH+Nato2RONa+2H_(2)uarr` 2 moles of alcohol gives 1 mole of `H_(2)` which occupies 22.4 L at 273 K and 1 ATM `therefore` number of moles of alcohol = `(2"moles of "R-OH)/(22.4L" of "H_(2))xx560mL=0.05`moles `therefore` number of moles = `"mass"/("molar mass")RARR"molar mass"=3.7/0.05=74gmol^(-1)` General formula for `R-OHC_(n)H_(2n+1)-OH` `thereforen(12)+(2n+1)(1)+16+1=74` 14n = 74 - 18 14n = 56 `thereforen=56/4=4` The `2^(@)` alcohol which contains 4 carbon is `CH_(3)CH(OH)CH_(2)CH_(3)`
