Methanol - CH3OH
What does a number in betwen the alcohol mean eg Propan-1-ol
Where the OH group is located in the molecule
Hydration of Ethene - conditions, pros and cons
300 degrees
65 atm
Pros:
Produces pure ethanol
Runs continuously
Cons:
Energy intensive
Uses non-renewables
Fermentation of glucose pros and cons

ethane vs ethene reaction differences with bromine
Ethane:
Needs UV light
produces bromoethane
substitution
Ethene:
Adition
Produces dibromoethene
Reversible reaction
reverse reactions are taking place at same rate
while the concentrations of reactants and products remains constant
