Answer:
2-propanol
Explanation:
From the given information
2 drops of an unknown sample were said to be placed in a test tube followed by the addition of 2 ml of ethanol then gentle mixing. They then initiate a further addition of 2 drops of potassium permanganate reagent (KMNO₄) to the test tube and mixed the contents of the test tube thoroughly. After adding 2 drops of potassium permanganate reagent, the reagent oxidizes the secondary alcohols(2-propanol) to ketone(i.e acetone) and no further reaction will take place since there are no reactive C-H bonds left. The diagram attached below shows how the reaction proceeds.
