Answer:

The structure of the unknown compound is 2-butanol.

Explanation:

Chromic acid reagent is the most efficient procedure for oxidizing secondary alcohols. Chromic acid in aqueous sulfuric acid and acetone solution is known as Jones reagent, which oxidizes primary and secondary alcohols to carboxylic acids and ketones, respectively.

Lucas reagent reacts with primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols with fairly predictable rates, and these rates can be used to distinguish between the three types of alcohols.  If the solution becomes cloudy in 3 to 5 minutes it indicates the presence of a secondary alcohol.

These two methods indicate the presence of a secondary alcohol, but the iodoform test indicates a specific structural unit.

Answer:

When salt is mixed with water, the salt dissolves because the covalent bonds of water are stronger than the ionic bonds in the salt molecules. ... Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together.
