The structural formula of each isomer which I will label A, B, and C for later experiments is as follows. A) B) C) The first test we must do is to distinguish between the ketone (A) and the two esters (B+C). The bromine water test will determine which ones are the esters and which one is the ketone by allowing us to identify the C=C bond. If the ketone is tested there will be no change in the colour and if it is either of the esters the bromine water will turn clear. After this we need to Distinguish between the 2 isomers that are esters. To do this we hydrolyse the esters to form a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in...
