2 of 16
3 properties of generic alcohols
volatile, flammable, good solvent as fully dissolve in water
3 of 16
why are alcohols used as a fuel
burn fairly clean releasing H20 and CO2
4 of 16
equation for alcohols burnt in ar
C2H5OH + 3O2 = 3H20 + C02
5 of 16
why can they be used as solvents
they dissolve compounds water can and cant

ethanol is the solvent for...
perfumes as it can mix with both the oils which give them smell and the water that gives the bulk

COOH
13 of 16
how do you name them
ANOIC, meth, eth, prop, but
