Question

draw all possible structural isomer of butanol.
white a balanced chemical equation to represent the reaction of Butanol with sodium ​

Answer 1

The possible structures of butanol are

1. n-butabol

2. sec-butanol

3. Iso-butanol

4. Tert-butanol

the structures of all isomers are given below in the picture

• When sodium reacts with butanol

sodium butoxide and hydrogen is formed,after balancing the equation ,it would be

2 Na+ 2C4H9OH——›2C4H9ONa

here sodium butoxide is formed by the equation.
