SPM Practice Chapter 2

The document provides information about a series of chemical reactions starting with an alcohol compound U, C3H8O. 1) The alcohol U undergoes a dehydration reaction to form compound T. 2) Compound T produces carbon dioxide and water when shaken with acidified potassium manganate(VII) solution. 3) Alcohol U combusts in excess oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Additionally, when alcohol U and compound V (C2H5COOH) are heated under reflux with concentrated sulfuric acid, a colorless liquid W is formed via an esterification reaction. Hydrogen gas is produced when a substance P is added to alcohol U.
