Question

A Science 30 student is provided with three unknown substances. He is told that the identities of them are methanol, methanoic acid, and methyl methanoate.  

(Picture attached)
 
 
To identify what each of the unknown substances is, he performs a conductivity, litmus, and odour test on each of the substances.
 
Conductivity Test
Litmus Test
A. Positive
1. No change
B. Negative
2. Red turns Blue
 
3. Blue turns Red

Match the descriptions below to the correct results from the tests above.

 

conductivity of methanol = ?
 
                                                                                     
 
litmus test of methyl methanoate = ?
 
                                                                                     
 
conductivity of methanoic acid = ?
                                                                                     
 
litmus test of methanoic acid = ?
