Chapter 12 Alcohols, Thiols, Ethers, Aldehyde Flashcards
what is an alcohol made up of?
(-OH) replaces a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon
what is phenol made up of?
the hydroxyl group (-OH) replaces a hydrogen atom attached to a benzene ring
what is thiol made up of?
(-SH) replaces a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon
what is an ether made up of?
consists of an oxygen atom, which is attached to two carbon atoms (-O-)
what would this be called?
2-Butanol
what this this called?
2-propanol
(isopropyl alcohol)
what is this called?
1-Propanol
(propyl alcohol)
what is a common characteristic of thiol?
has a strong disagreeable/pungent odor (think skunk smell/ oysters, onions, etc.)
what is a common characteristic of ethers with regards to their electronic shape?
ethers have a bent structure like water and alcohols
what does this represent?
1-propanol
(propyl alcohol)
what does this represent?
2-propanol
(isopropyl alcohol)
what is this called?
cyclohexanol
name this
name this
what is the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols?
the Carbon atom directly attached to the OH is the carbon we reference the counting of other carbons attached
give the solubility for methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, and 1-pentanol
what are all the alcohols that are at least slightly soluble in water
methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, and phenol (benzene with OH)
what does phenol make when added to water?
phenoxide ion
what used to be used as antiseptics in hospitals, and why do we not use them anymore?
dilute solutions of phenol
is extremely corrosive, highly irritating to skin, and flammable
what home cleaning product still contains traces of phenol to this day?
Lysol
what are the two common main ingredient found in hand sanitizers that help with killing bacteria?
ethanol or propanol
what are two common main ingredients found in hand sanitizers that help prevent drying skin?
glycerin and propylene glycol
between ethanol-containing or propanol-containing hand sanitizers, which is most flammable?
ethanol hand sanitizers
what color flame does ethanol produce when it undergoes combustion?
blue flame
why is triclosan banned by the FDA in personal care products?
its use may promote the growth of antibiotic resistant bacteria
soluble
insoluble
what are these called?
Given: trans 2-butene 1-thiol (draw this)
what are these called?
a) dimethyl ether
b) ethyl methyl ether
c) diethyl-ether
what is a carbonyl?
consists of a carbon-oxygen double bond with two groups of atoms attached to the carbon at angles of 120 degrees
what is the main difference between aldehydes and ketones?
both have a carbon double bonded to an oxygen (carbonyl), but aldehydes have one carbon chain and one hydrogen atom attached also to the carbonyl
ketones have two carbon chains attached to the carbonyl
