Given Molecular Formula: C₃H₈O

Structural Formula: C₃H₇OH

IUPAC Name: Propanol

Common Name: Propyl Alcohol

Functional Group Present in The compound: Alcohol (-OH)

Dehydration Reaction: When an alcohol is heated at 443 K with excess concentrated H₂SO₄, a single bond changes to double bond and H₂O is expelled out.

For the reaction, kindly refer to attachment.

Reaction with Na Metal: Alcohols react with metals to form a metal salt and release H₂ gas, by replacing one H from OH and placing the metal.

When Propanol reacts with sodium metal, sodium propoxide is formed and hydrogen gas is evolved.

For the reaction, kindly refer to the attachment.
