Analysis

Question 1

Boiling points of alcohols

Answer 1

Increases as chain length increases

Question 2

Volatility

Answer 2

How easily a substance evapourates

Question 3

Volatility of alcohols

Answer 3

Alcohols have hydrogen bonds making them less volatile

Question 4

Solubility of alcohols

Answer 4

Alcohol functional group is polar and so is water so alcohols are soluble in water

Question 5

Primary alcohols oxidize to…

Answer 5

Aldehyde and this can oxidize to carboxylic acid

Reagents are K2Cr2O7 and H2SO4
Use distillation for aldehyde and reflux for carboxylic acid

Question 6

Secondary alcohols oxidize to…

Answer 6

Ketones

Reagents are K2Cr2O7 and H2SO4

Question 7

Tertiary alcohols oxidize to…

Answer 7

They do not oxidize

Question 8

Esterification of alcohols

Answer 8

Alcohol + carboxylic acid = ester

Question 9

Haloalkane

Answer 9

Saturated organic compounds that contain carbon atoms and at least one halogen atom.

Question 10

Reactivity of haloalkanes

Answer 10

halogen and carbon have a large difference in electronegativities, meaning bond is polar.

Question 11

Nucleophiles

Answer 11

Electron pair donors

Question 12

Factors affecting the rate of reaction

Answer 12

-Strength of C-X bond - Bond enthalpies decrease down the group, so more reactive as you go down the group.
