- Alcohols
- Basic info
- CnH2n+OH
- functional group is OH
- capable of hydrogen bonding
- 104.5 bond angle
- made by
- fermentation
- oxidation
- primary alcohol: turns into an aldehyde (if distilled) then a carboxylic acid
- secondary alcohol: turns into a ketone if heated under reflux
- tertiary alcohols do NOT react with oxgen as there is no free hydrogen to react.
- Basic info
- fermentation
- direct hydration of ethene
- made by
- made by
- elimination reactions

- Basic info
- ethanol forms ethene and water
- dehydration reaction
- heat under reflux with conc H2SO4/H3PO4
- Alcohols
- OH and H atom are lost to form an alkene
- elimination reactions
- ethanol forms ethene and water
- dehydration reaction
- heat under reflux with conc H2SO4/H3PO4
- elimination reactions
