Concept explainers
a.
To classify:
The given alcoholic structure is primary, secondary or tertiary.
Introduction:
The numbers of alkyl groups attached to the carbon atom which are bonded to the hydroxyl group are classified as alcohols. The reactivity of alcohol is directly affected by the number of alkyl groups attached to the alcoholic carbon. The alcohols are of three types: primary alcohol, secondary alcohol and tertiary alcohol.

- What are the best reagents to make the following product? NO O acetyl chloride and AIC13 O SO3 and H2SO4 O 1-chloropropanc and AICI3 O HNO3 and H2S04arrow_forwardFollowing are three alcohols with the molecular formula C4H10O. Their boiling points, from lowest to highest, are 82.3°C, 99.5°C, and 117°C. Which alcohol has which boiling point?arrow_forwardClassify these alcohols as primary (1°), secondary (2°), or tertiary (3°). 1° 2° 3° CH,CH, CH,COH ČH,CH, OH CH,CHCHCH, CH, CH,CH, CH,CCH,OHarrow_forward
- Which is NOT a physical property of alcohols or phenols? O Phenols are generally only slightly soluble in water. O The hydroxyl group of an alcohol is nonpolar. The solubilities of normal primary alcohols in water decrease with increasing molecular weight. Boiling points of normal primary alcohols increase with increasing molecular weight.arrow_forwardClassify the following alcohol as primary, secondary or tertiary. primary Ⓒsecondary tertiary none of the abovearrow_forwardDrinking of too much alcohol cause liver cirrhosis because ethanol is converted to toxic * Acetone Ethanal Acetic acid Methyl ethanoate Ethers have lower boiling points compared to alcohols of comparable mass because they form dipole-dipole interaction among themselves. they cannot form hydrogen bond among themselves. they can form hydrogen bond with water. they are solvents in organic reactions. Dehydration of two molecules of methanol under acidic condition (H2SO4) at high temperature will produce * Acetone Ethanal Acetic acid Methoxymethanearrow_forward
