Carboxylic acids are often written as RCOOH. What does COOH indicate and what does R indicate? Aldehydes are sometimes written as RCHO. What does CHO indicate?
Explain using only structural diagrams only the differences between primary,secondary and tertiary alcohols.
Name 5 types of reactions for alcohols (organic chemistry)
Write the structural formula for propylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol. Why is it classified as an alcohol? Is it a polar molecule? Should it be miscible with water?
Explain why alcohols, ethers, and phenols are referred to as organic derivatives of water. Write properties that are unique to these functional groups.
What is the structural difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols?
Describe an experimental test that you would perform to distinguish between a primary alcohol, an alkene and an aldehyde
Please help me check if the information below is correct for both the types of reactions and the special rules or laws to predict predominant products for alcohols. If not please insert the correct information. Please make the information in jot notes. TYPES OF REACTIONS ALCOHOL: Dehydration: This is a reaction where an alcohol loses a water molecule to form an alkene. For example, when ethanol is treated with an acidic catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, it undergoes dehydration to form ethene (CH2=CH2) and water. Oxidation: In this reaction, an alcohol is converted to either a carbonyl compound or a carboxylic acid. For example, primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, while secondary alcohols can be oxidized to ketones. Tertiary alcohols are not oxidized under normal conditions. Esterification: This reaction involves the formation of an ester from an alcohol and a carboxylic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst. For example, when ethanol is…
How does the structure of an alcohol differ from an ether? Describe how an aldehyde differs in structure from a ketone. Thiols are compounds which resemble alcohols, except that the oxygen atom is replaced by a sulfur atom. Draw the analogous thiol for the four carbon alcohol in Table 1. Describe the structural difference between carboxylic acids and esters. Are ethers polar molecules? Would you expect ethers to have higher or lower boiling points than alkanes (circle one)? Explain. Pentane (an alkane) has a boiling point of 36 °C. Does the data agree with your prediction? explain why this could be the case
Distinguish between a primary, a secondary and tertiary alcohol by using an example with three (3) isomers of butanol. Label each one.
Explain the boiling point of alkanes when going from methane to decane. Predict the boiling point of alcohol as compared to alkanes.
What can be the possible causes of error in the combustion of alcohols?
