Since propanal is an aldehyde and 2-propanone is a ketone you can use the Jones reagent which will oxidize the aldehyde to a carboxylic acid. This will cause a green salt to precipiate. The 2-propanone should have no reaction and remain unchanged.

The iodform test, which is positive (a solid yellow precipitate forms) when used on a compound that contains the group CH3CO--. 2-pentanone would be positive, 3-pentanone negative.

2-pentatone will have a positive result in an iodoform test but 3 pentatone will not. this is because of the methyl ketone.

Why does pentanal have a higher boiling point than 3-methylbutanal?

Pentanal and 3-methylbutanal are chain isomoers meaning they both have the same atoms but are structually different. Pentanal is staight chained and 3-methylbutanal has one of its carbons branching somewhere in the middle of the chain. Branching decreases the boiling point of a molecule, therefore Pentanal has the higher boiling point.
