Homework Statement
Use a flow chart to distinguish between: 1-hexene, cyclohexanol, 1-bromobutane, 1-propanol, 2-hexene, 1-hexyne, 2-bromopentane, 3-methyl-3-hexanol, 3-bromo-3-methylhexane by using a positive and negative test by adding other compounds

The Attempt at a Solution
I used ZnCl2 in HCl to distinguish cyclohexanol and 3-methyl-3-hexanol from the rest and used the same test to distinguish them from each other.
Then, I used acidic chromate solution to distinguish 1-propanol by the formation of green chromium (III) ion
I just do not know where to find the information on how to separate these compounds (It is not in my book.) Any and all information would be awesome!
