21
Q

What can primary alcohols be oxidised in to?

A

Aldehydes and then carboxylic acids

22
Q

What can secondary alcohols be oxidised to?

A

Ketones

23
Q

What can tertiary alcohols be oxidised to?

A

Nothing. They can’t be oxidised

24
Q

How do you oxidise primary alcohols?

A

1) Gently heat ethanol with potassium(VI) diachromate solution and sulfuric acid in a flask to produce ethanal.
2) As theres lots of oxidising agent you need to remove aldehyde as soon as its formed by using a distillation apparatus.
3) To produce a carboxylic acid the alcohol has to vigorously oxidised by heating under reflux.

25
Q

What forms when you dehydrate an alcohol?

A

An alkene.

26
Q

What catalyst is used to oxidise ethanol?

A

Potassium(VI) diachromate solution

27
Q

What catalyst is used to dehydrate ethanol?

A

Pumice stone or aluminium oxide (Al2O3)

28
Q

How to dehydrate ethanol?

A
  • Ethanol vapour passed over hot catalyst (pumice stone or aluminium oxide).
    OR
  • Reflux ethanol with excess concentrated sulfuric acid at 170. Ethene produced is collected over water.
29
Q

What forms when alcohols react with carboxylic acids?

A

Esters

30
Q

What forms when alcohols react with acid anhydrides?

A

Esters

31
Q

How to test for phenols?

A 
Use iron(II) chloride solution.
Turn purple
32
Q

What forms when acid anhydrides react with phenols?

A

Esters

33
Q

Are phenols a strong or weak acid?

A

Weak

34
Q

Do phenols and carbonate solutions react? Why?

A

No as sodium carbonate isn’t a strong enough base to remove hydrogen ion.
