Answer all the questions.
1 Alcohols are useful intermediates and react to give a variety of products.
For example, butan-1-ol can be oxidised to other useful products as shown below.

(d)* A student prepares a pure sample of (CH3)
3CCl by the reaction from (c):
(CH3)
3COH + HCl (CH3)
3CCl + H2O
The preparation involves two parts.
Part A The student shakes about 10cm3 of the alcohol with 20cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric
acid in a stoppered conical flask. The reaction occurs quickly at room temperature.
Part B The student then separates the layers formed, removes the acid and dries and purifies
the organic product.
The student uses data as shown in the table below.
