• Boiling point 

• Relative density

• Refraction index 

• Specific rotation

Answer 1

Specific rotation

Explanation:

(+) 2-methylbutan-1-ol (-) 2-methylbutan- 1-ol are enantiomer. They are mirror images of one another that cannot be superimposed. They are optically active as a result. The value of specific rotation can be used to confirm a compound's optical activity.
