Alcohols And Halogenoalkanes Flashcards
What is a secondary alcohol?
To carbon atoms attached to the carbon that is joined to the hydroxide group
What is a tertiary alcohol?
Carbon attached to hydroxide group is attached to 3 other carbon atoms
What is a primary alcohol?
To hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon join to the hydroxide group
What is produced when alcohols are completely combusted?
Carbon dioxide
Water
What is the equation for when sodium reacts with ethanol?
2Na(s) + 2C(2)H(5)OH (l) –> 2CH3CH2O-,Na+ (alc) + H2 (g)
Sodium ethnocide (dissolved in ethanol)
What can the reaction between phosphorus five chloride and an alcohol be used as a test for?
Qualitative of test for the hydroxide group as hydrogen chloride gas is given off
What is the equation for the reaction between phosphorus chloride and ethanol?
C2H5OH + PCl5(s) –> C2H5Cl(l) + POCl3(l) + HCl
What is produced when a primary alcohol is oxidised?
An aldehyde which can be fully oxidised form a carboxylic acid
What is the colour change when a primary alcohol is a oxidised?
Orange to green
What can be used to oxidise alcohols?
Concentrated sulphuric acid
Na2Cr2O7
What is produced when a secondary alcohol is oxidised?
Ketone (propanone)
Double C=O bond in middle
What is produced when a tertiary alcohol is oxidised?
Not meant to be oxidised by common oxidising agents
What equipment must do use to oxidise a primary alcohol?
Reflux
Distillation
What equipment must be used to prepare a ketone from a secondary alcohol?
They have different boiling points which allows you to collect them as different samples
What is a primary halogenoalkane?
One carbon atom bonded to the carbon atom carrying the halogen
What is a secondary halogenoalkane?
To carbon atoms attached to the carbon atom with the halogen
