1.1. Propan-2-ol has a relatively high boiling point. Draw how two molecules of propan-2-ol interact with one another and explain how the strongest type of intermolecular force arises.

1.2. Propan-2-ol can undergo oxidation to form a compound which has the formula C₃H₆O.

i) Write the balanced symbol equation, using [O] to represent the oxidising agent, to show the oxidation of propan-2-ol.

ii) Suggest a chemical test for this reaction and give the results that will identify the product.

iii) In terms of the metal ions present in the chemical test, explain the results.

1.3. Propan-2-ol can be dehydrated to propene using concentrated sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄, at a temperature of 170$^{\circ}$C.

Name and outline the mechanism of the dehydration of propan-2-ol showing the sulfuric acid molecule is involved in the reaction.

The structure of sulfuric acid is shown below in Figure 1.
