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?
Draw Lewis structures and condensed structural formulas for the four alcohols with the molecular formula C4H10O. Classify each alcohol as primary, secondary, or tertiary. (Hint: First consider the connectivity of the four carbon atoms; they can be bonded either four in a chain or three in a chain with the fourth carbon as a branch on the middle carbon. Then consider the points at which the iOH group can be bonded to each carbon chain.)
Which of the compounds, ethanol, C2H6O, or methanol, CH3OH, should have the higher boiling point?
Why?
How would the boiling point change if the atmospheric pressure increased or decreased?
What is the effect of small amount of impurity on the boiling point of an organic compound?
List five physical properties of organic compounds that are often measured by organic chemists.
