The pair of alcohols that can be distinguished by Victor Meyer test.

A

Methanol and .ethanol

B

Ethanol and 1 -propanol

C

2-Pentanol and 3-pentanol

D

1-Propanol and 2-propanol'

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Victor Meyer test is used to distinguish between 1°,2° and 3° alcohols.
Methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol are 1° alchols and 2-pentanol, 2-butanol and 3-pentanol are 2° alcohols. So, 1-prqpanol and 2-propanol can be distinguished by Victor Meyer test since these alcohols have different degrees.
