Structures of Alcohols, Carboxylic Acid and Esters
Alcohols
-OH ending homologous series
Carboxylic Acids
-COOH Group
Esters
Replace the H in the COOH by a hydrocarbon
Properties and Uses of Alcohols
Used as solvents and fuels
Combustion
Ethanols use as a fuel
Flammable
ethanol + oxygen => Carbon Dioxide + water
Reaction with sodium
sodium fizzes, dissolves and gives off Hydrogen gas
Oxidation
ethanol can be oxidised by ethanoic acid to make vinegar
Carboxylic acids and esters
Why are carboxylic acids weak acids?
Strong acids ionise completely in solution
Making Esters
Carboxylic acids react with alcohols to make esters
acid can be used as a catalyst (usually sulfuric acid
