C3.5 Organic Chemistry
  1. Structures of Alcohols, Carboxylic Acid and Esters
    1. Alcohols
      1. -OH ending homologous series
        1. Carboxylic Acids
          1. -COOH Group
            1. Esters
              1. Replace the H in the COOH by a hydrocarbon
              2. Properties and Uses of Alcohols
                1. Used as solvents and fuels
                  1. Combustion
                    1. Ethanols use as a fuel
                      1. Flammable
                        1. ethanol + oxygen => Carbon Dioxide + water
                        2. Reaction with sodium
                          1. sodium fizzes, dissolves and gives off Hydrogen gas
                          2. Oxidation
                            1. ethanol can be oxidised by ethanoic acid to make vinegar
                          3. Carboxylic acids and esters
                            1. Why are carboxylic acids weak acids?
                              1. Strong acids ionise completely in solution
                              2. Making Esters
                                1. Carboxylic acids react with alcohols to make esters
                                  1. acid can be used as a catalyst (usually sulfuric acid
                              3. Organic Issues
                                1. Some of the substances can be misused
                                  1. They could help us when crude oil runs out
                                    1. Biofuel may conflict with feeding people
