ALCOHOLS PART 1

Question 1

GIVE me a wet property of Alchols

A tad on solubilty

Answer 1

They are water souible.0-H dipole allows h20 molecules to interact with hydrogen bonding

AS chain length increase solubility decreases as the non polar section gets bigger

Question 2

Answer 2

Saturated , souible, and are a bent shape

Question 3

What is the general formula of alcohols-

Answer 3

CnH2n+10H

Question 4

Hydration of Alkenes

Question 5

Give me the pros and cons of Hyrdration of Alkenes -

Answer 5

Non renewable
Fast
High energy input

Continouse process
Pure product
100% atom economy

Question 6

Give me the pros and cons of fermintation

Answer 6

Renewable
 SLOW
 Low energy input,
Batched process , 
not 100% atom economy

Question 7

What is the boiling point of alcholos

Answer 7

the greater the chain length, the more Van da Waals, the higher the melting/boilng points.

Question 8

What do you do for carboxlylic acid

Answer 8

You do distillation

Question 9

Full oxidation list of primary alcohols

Answer 9
