1 of 24
Alcohols end in what?
-OL
2 of 24
What happens in the combustion of Alcohol?
Alcohols react completely with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
3 of 24
Why do alcohols require less oxygen for complete combustion than the corresponding Alkane?
Because the molecules already have oxygen in them.
4 of 24
Alcohols and Ethers are called Oxygenates, Why?
Because they burn more efficiently than alkanes, producing less carbon monoxide.
5 of 24
When Oxygenates are added to petrol to reduce pollution, what do they also do to the fuel?
Increase the Octane Number!
