| Question | Answer |
| Alcohols will react with compounds containing halide ions (e.g. NaBr). What is this reaction called? | Substitution reaction |
| What happens during a substitution reaction involving alcohols and compounds containing halide ions? | The -OH group is replaced by the halide, so the alcohol is transformed into a haloalkane |
| What are the reactants and conditions required for a substitution reaction in alcohols to form haloalkanes? | A compound containing a halide (e.g. NaBr) Acid catalyst (e.g. H₂SO₄) |
| Give a general balanced symbol equation for the reaction between R-OH and NaX | R-OH + NaX --> R-X + Na⁺ + H₂O |
| Alkenes can be made from alcohols. What type of reaction does this involve? | Elimination reaction (Sometimes called a dehydration reaction) |
| Give a general equation for the elimination of water to form an alkene from an alcohol, showing the displayed formula of the reactants and products |

| What is the water molecule that is eliminated made up from? | The -OH group and a hydrogen atom that was bonded to a carbon atom adjacent to the hydroxyl carbon |
| TRUE OR FALSE: There are two possible alkene products from one elimination | TRUE The product depends on which side of the hydroxyl group the hydrogen is eliminated from |
| Complete the sentence: Sometimes an alkene product can form ______ isomers - if this is the case then a mixture of BOTH will form. | Sometimes an alkene product can form E/Z isomers - if this is the case then a mixture of BOTH will form. |
