two compounds that were in unknown sample #109 by the process of fractional distillation. A series of tests allowed for us to identify physical properties of each compound as well as the functional groups present in each compound. They were boiling point test, refractive index test, ceric nitrate reagent test, chromic acid in acetone test, simons test for aliphatic amines and modified simons test for aromatic amines. The first compound which boiled out of the flask at 90oC was 2-butanol, which had…
