Chapter 14 Flashcards
Alcohols
Behave like water
> can form hydrogen bonds
> high water solubility (decreases with 4 or more carbons)
Compounds containing oxygen
Alcohols, phenols, ethers
> oxygen introduces polarity
Denatured alcohol
Ethyl alcohol that has contaminants mixed to make it unfit to drink–gasoline, methanol sulfides used
Predict water solubility
> Count # of water molecules that can hydrogen bond to a molecule
count # of carbon atoms
Chemical reactions of alcohol
> dehydration( water is a products)
Oxidation of alcohols
- Primary alcohols >aldehydes> carboxylic acids
- secondary alcohol>ketone>NR
- tertiary alcohol>NR
Dehydration
Replaces -OH with a double bond.
Alcohol proof (v/v)%
(V/v)% # multiplied by 2 = proof
Proof # divided by 2= (v/v)%
Methyl alcohol
Wood alcohol
CH3OH
Ethyl alcohol
Grain alcohol
CH3CH2OH
Isopropyl alcohol
Rubbing alcohol
(CH3)2CHOH
Ethylene glycol
Antifreeze, diol
HOCH2CH2OH
Glycerol
Glycerin, Tirol
HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH
NONTOXIC
Propylene
CH3CH2=CH2
For a molecule to hydrogen to its self….
You must have a N,O,F and you must have a hydrogen bonded to an N,O,F
