Question 1

Question
What is the structure of a Primary alcohol?

Question 2

Question
The boiling points of alcohols increases as the chain length [blank_start]increases[blank_end] because there are [blank_start]more[blank_end] surface area contacts and stronger [blank_start]induced dipole-dipole[blank_end] interactions (London forces). Hydrogen bonds also increase the intermolecular force of attraction. The higher the forces of attraction the [blank_start]more[blank_end] energy needed to break the bonds.
Answer
  • increases
  • decreases
  • more
  • fewer
  • induced dipole-dipole
  • permanent dipole-dipole
  • permanent dipole-induced dipole
  • more
  • less

Question 3

Question
Which of these statements about alcohols are correct?
Answer
  • Volatility is where a substance can easily evaporate at RTP.
  • Hydrogen bonds decrease the volatility of an alcohol.
  • Hydrogen bonds increase the volatility of an alcohol.
  • The solubility of an alcohol decreases when the chain length increases.
  • Alcohols are non-polar molecules.
  • Volatility increases as the boiling point increases.

Question 4

Question
Fill in the state symbols for this [blank_start]combustion[blank_end] reaction. C ₂H₅OH ([blank_start]l[blank_end]) + 3O₂ ([blank_start]g[blank_end]) ---> 2CO₂ ([blank_start]g[blank_end]) + 3H₂O ([blank_start]l[blank_end])

Question 5

Question
What is a potential reagent for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols?
Answer
  • K₂Cr₂O₇
  • CO₂
  • HCl
  • C₂H₆

Question 6

Question
What is the functional group of an ester?
Answer
  • -OH
  • -COOR
  • -COOH
  • O-H
  • O=H

Question 7

Question
Label the reactants and products of this reaction.
Answer
  • Propanoic acid
  • Ethanol
  • Hexanol
  • Propanal
  • Hydrochloric acid
  • Butanoic acid
  • Ethyl propanoate
  • Methyl propanoate
  • Ethyl butanoate

Question 8

Question
Esterification is reversible and has a slow rate of reaction.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 9

Question
For esterification to work a nickel catalyst is added to a test tube in a 100`C water bath.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Question
All large molecule Esters are soluble in water.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 11

Question
Dehydration is a type of [blank_start]elimination[blank_end] reaction where water is [blank_start]lost[blank_end] from an organic compound. The alcohols are heated under reflux with a strong [blank_start]acid[blank_end] catalyst (H₂SO₄) at [blank_start]170[blank_end]'C. π-bonds form between adjacent [blank_start]carbon[blank_end] atoms and a [blank_start]water[blank_end] molecule is released from the H in the acid and the OH in the alcohols functional group.
Answer
  • elimination
  • lost
  • 170
  • acid
  • water
  • carbon

Question 12

Question
The general formula for halide substitution is ROH + HX --> RX + H₂O
Answer
  • True
  • False
