22   7 This question is about the primary alcohol butan‑1‑ol. (a) Which are the intermolecular force(s) between butan‑1‑ol molecules in the liquid phase? (1) A hydrogen bonding only B hydrogen bonding and permanent dipole‑dipole forces only C hydrogen bonding, permanent dipole‑dipole forces and London forces D London forces only (b) The equation for the complete combustion of butan‑1‑ol is shown. CH3CH2CH2CH2OH(l) + 6O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 5H2O(l) ΔcH d = –2675.6 kJ mol–1 Draw a labelled enthalpy level diagram for this reaction, using the axes provided. You may use the labels ‘reactants’ and ‘products’ in place of the formulae shown in the equation. (2) Enthalpy Progress of reaction Turn over 23   (c) Butan‑1‑ol can be oxidised to produce butanal or butanoic acid. (i) Which is a suitable test and result for butan‑1‑ol?
