identifying a tertiary alcohol

[aisha]

Suppose you are given 3 alcohols primary secondary and tertiary. I have to design an experiment that can be carried out with commonly available materials and equipment that would identify the tertiary alcohol.

I dont know what to do, can someone please help me out?

what do you know about their reactions with oxidising agents and sodium?

[aisha]

not very much I know that a tertiary alcohol can not be oxidized into an aldehyde or ketone.
