Miscibility: • Methanol, ethanol and glycerol* miscible in H2O. • They do not give any result with red and blue litmus paper • neutral • Benzyl alcohols immiscible in H2O , dilHcl and 30% NaOH • neutral
Preliminary tests: • soda lime : not done (why)?. • 30%NaOH : no reaction. • Fecl3 : no reaction. • Conc. H2SO4* : no reaction with all except benzyl alc. • Benzyl alc+ 4 dps Conc. H2SO4 (on wall) dirty white gelatinous ppt.
