alcohols

Question 1

What is the word equation for alcohol complete combustion?

Answer 1

Alcohol + O2 -> CO2 + H2O

Question 2

What is the word equation for alcohol incomplete combustion?

Answer 2

Alcohol + O2 -> CO + H2O

Question 3

Why is incomplete combustion of alcohols hazardous?

Answer 3

Produces carbon monoxide which is toxic

Question 4

What are the conditions and reagents for alcohols to alkenes?

Answer 4

Phosphoric acid; Heat

Question 5

What is the displayed formula equation for primary alcohol elimination to alkene?

Answer 5

Question 6

Why will secondary and tertiary alcohols be able to produce multiple products?

Answer 6

The C=C bond can form from two carbons; they could have E/Z isomerism

Question 7

What is the functional group of the alcohol homologous series

Answer 7

-OH (hydroxyl)

Question 8

alcohol general formula

Answer 8

cnh2noh

Question 9

primary alcohol

Answer 9

Question 10

secondary alcohol

Answer 10

Question 11

tertiary alcohol

Answer 11

Question 12

Describing primary alcohol

Answer 12

If the carbon the -OH group is bonded to has two hydrogens bonded to it

Question 13

Describing a secondary alcohol

Answer 13

If the carbon the -OH is bonded to has one hydrogen bonded to it

Question 14

What is the way in which tertiary alcohols must be oxidised?

Answer 14

Combustion

Question 15

Describing tertiary alcohol

Answer 15

If the carbon the -OH group is bonded to has no hydrogens bonded to it

Question 16

Why are alcohols soluble

Answer 16

They contain an -OH (hydroxyl) group
The -OH group can form hydrogen bonds with the water

Question 17

Why do alcohols have higher boiling points than other homologous series

Answer 17

They contain an -OH (hydroxyl) group
The -OH group can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules
More energy is needed to break the hydrogen bonds than the London Forces in other homologous series
