Alcohols

What is volatility?

Why do Alcohols have low volatility?
Does this mean they have a high, or low boiling point?

Are alcohols a polar molecule?

Alcohols have weak London forces, but what other type of force/bond do they have that determines their properties?

Are Alcohols soluble in water?
Reason your answer.

If the carbon chain in the alcohol gets longer, what happens to its solubility?

Name the three classification of alcohols.

What is a Primary alcohol?

What is a Secondary Alcohol?

What is a Tertiary alcohol?

What is oxidation?

If a primary alcohol is oxidised, what is initially produced, and what process is required to get this product?

If the aldehyde isn't distilled from the mixture, something else is formed. What is this product and why is it formed?

What is produced if a secondary alcohol is oxidised?

How is the product of the oxidation of secondary alcohols formed? And under what conditions?

What happens is you oxidised a Tertiary alcohol?

If the alcohol is oxidised, what happens to the potassium dichromate?
If the alcohol isn't oxidised, what happens to it?

If an alcohol is completely burned in a plentiful supply, what are the products?

Is the combustion of alcohols an endothermic or exothermic reaction?

If there are more carbon atoms in the alcohol chain, what happens to the amount of energy released in combustion?

What happens in a Dehydration reaction?

How is a dehydration reaction of an alcohol carried out?

Dehydration is an example of what type of reaction?

What happens in a substitution reaction with an alcohol?

How is a substitution reaction prepared?
