Give one good chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds:
1-propanol and 2-propanol.

Explanation

Propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol can be distinguished by performing Lucas test. Propan-1-ol is a primary alcohol and won.t show turbidity on mixing with Lucas Reagent (mixture of hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride) at room temperature whereas, propan-2-ol is a secondary alcohol hence, it will show turbidity after 5-10 minutes with reagent at room temperature.
