Explanation:
Propan-2-ol, the alcohol group is attached to a secondary carbon where there is more number of methyl groups which give +I effect thereby donating charge density to the oxygen atom. So the oxygen has high charge density and therefore its pull on the O-H bond decreases. ... Thus, propan-2-ol is LESS acidic than propan-1-ol.
