Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structural formula of hexyl alcohol is to be drawn. The primary alcohol, secondary alcohol, or tertiary alcohol is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Trivial names of some alcohols are still in common use. They are derived from the trivial names of the
Depending on the type of carbon – primary, secondary, or tertiary – to which the hydroxyl group is attached, the alcohol is classified as a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structural formula of neopentyl alcohol is to be drawn. The primary alcohol, secondary alcohol, or tertiary alcohol is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Trivial names of some alcohols are still in common use. They are derived from the trivial names of the alkane to which the hydroxyl group is attached. The first part of the name is derived from the trivial name of the root alkane. The second part is simply alcohol, indicating the functional group.
Depending on the type of carbon – primary, secondary, or tertiary – to which the hydroxyl group is attached, the alcohol is classified as a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol.
(c)
Interpretation:
The structural formula of pentafluoroethyl alcohol is to be drawn. The primary alcohol, secondary alcohol, or tertiary alcohol is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Trivial names of some alcohols are still in common use. They are derived from the trivial names of the alkane to which the hydroxyl group is attached. The first part of the name is derived from the trivial name of the root alkane. The second part is simply alcohol, indicating the functional group.
Depending on the type of carbon – primary, secondary, or tertiary – to which the hydroxyl group is attached, the alcohol is classified as a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol.
(d)
Interpretation:
The structural formula of cyclohexyl alcohol is to be drawn. The primary alcohol, secondary alcohol, or tertiary alcohol is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Trivial names of some alcohols are still in common use. They are derived from the trivial names of the alkane to which the hydroxyl group is attached. The first part of the name is derived from the trivial name of the root alkane. The second part is simply alcohol, indicating the functional group.
Depending on the type of carbon – primary, secondary, or tertiary – to which the hydroxyl group is attached, the alcohol is classified as a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol.

Thank you!arrow_forwardCould you please solve the first problem in this way and present it similarly but (color-coded) and step by step so I can understand it better? Thank you! I want to see what they are doingarrow_forwardCan you please help mne with this problem. Im a visual person, so can you redraw it, potentislly color code and then as well explain it. I know im given CO2 use that to explain to me, as well as maybe give me a second example just to clarify even more with drawings (visuals) and explanations.arrow_forward
