Answers available below

There are several isomeric alcohols with the formula C5H11OH. 16 (a) Pentan-1-ol, CH3(CH2)3CH2OH, can be prepared in the laboratory by the reduction of an aldehyde. State a suitable reducing agent for this reaction and write an equation to show the preparation of pentan-1-ol. Use [H] to represent the reducing agent in the equation. Reducing agentEquation[2] (b) Compound F is a structural isomer of C5H11OH. Compound F is converted to compound G when heated under reflux with acidified potassium dichromate(VI) solution. Compound G reacts with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to form an orange solid but compound G does not react with Tollens reagent. The 13C NMR spectrum of compound G is shown below. 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 ppm Compound H is a carboxylic acid. In a titration, 0.211 g of carboxylic acid H requires 22.8 cm3 of 0.125 mol dm3 NaOH for neutralisation. Compound F reacts with compound H in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid to form organic compound I.OCR 2016br /  Identify compounds F, G, H and I and draw their structures in the boxes below.
