Alcohol molecules contain an: -OH functional group.
Examples of Alcohols are Methanol (CH3OH) and Ethanol (C2H5OH)
Ethanol can be used:
- as a solvent - as a fuel - in drinks like beer
Methanol and Ethanol mix well because there -OH group is similar to waters.
long Hydrocarbon chains do not interact with water molecules.
Alcohols tend to have high boiling points because their -Oh groups tend to pull its molecules together.
Alcohols contain a hydrocarbon chains so they burn in air to make CO2 and H20
Water and Ethanol react similarly with Sodium because they both have and -OH group. Alkanes dont react with sodium as their c-c and c-h bonds are unreactive
