Question

Please give thorough explanation. A sample contains a mixture of 1-Propanol, 1-Pentanol, Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, and 2-Heptanone. Using simple distillation, the highest volume of distillate came out at 135-140 °C. After pooling these fractions, the corrected refractive index of the compound was found to be 1.410 at 20 °C. (If possible,) using the CRC Handbook of Chemistry & Physics, what is the identity of the unknown chemical compound? Explain your reasoning.
