Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 14.55E
The addition of water to aldehydes and ketones occurs rapidly, although it is not thermodynamically favored. What would be the product for the reaction above? Hint: Think of the self-ionization of water and the polarity of the carbonyl group.

Draw an ester with the formula C3H6O2
AND
Draw the structures for a specific aldehyde and a specific ketone that have the formula C3H6O
Which is true?
A primary alcohol can undergo single oxidation to a give a carboxylic acid.
A primary alcohol can undergo double oxidation to a give a carboxylic acid.
Carboxylic acids boil at considerably higher temperatures than do alcohols or
aldehydes of similar molecular weights. This is because they:
form stable cyclic hydrogen-bonded dimers
have more oxygens
O are more acidic
have more carbon atoms

Select all that apply: O Phenol is a secondary alcohol; secondary alcohols do not oxidize. O The carbon that the hydroxyl group is attached to in phenol does not have a hydrogen attached. Forming a double bond between the oxygen and the carbon would require breaking up the stable aromatic ring. Phenol is a tertiary alcohol, which does not oxidize.arrow_forwardDescribe how will you prepare an alcohol from an alkene.arrow_forward
