16 of 35
When alcohols are mixed with water, what are the solutions produced?
Neutral solutions
17 of 35
Why are alcohols useful solvents?
Most organic substances dissolve in alcohols
18 of 35
In what drinks is ethanol the main alcohol in?
Wine, beer and other alcoholic drinks
19 of 35
Why do many perfumes contain ethanol?
It dissolves well with water and evapourates.
20 of 35
When Alcohol is burnt completely with air, what is produced?
Carbon Dioxide and Water
21 of 35
If alcohol burns with air to produce CO2 and H2O, then where is alcohol used industrially?
In fuels
22 of 35
Give the equation of when Ethanol reacts with Oxygen
C2H5OH + 3 O2 ----> 2 CO2 + 3 H2O
23 of 35
When sodium reacts with alcohol what is produced?
Hydrogen gas
24 of 35
What reaction occurs when Alcohol turn into a Caroboxylic acid?
Alcohol is oxidised
25 of 35
An Alcohol drink has turned sour after it has been left out, what happened and is the the product?
The alcoholic drink has been oxidised and it is now vinegar
26 of 35
Ethanol and water are both colourless liquid. Suggest one chemical test you could do to tell them apart.
Add sodium - Sodium reacts much faster in water than in alcohol.
27 of 35
What are the pH values of carboxylic acids when dissolved in water?
pH of less than 7
28 of 35
Why do carboxylic acids have properties similar to all other acids?
They produce H+ solutions in aqueous solutions.
29 of 35
How are carboxylic acid different to other acids?
They react with alcohols in the prsence of an acid catalyst to produce esters.

Ethanol + Ethanoic Acid ---> Ethyl Ethanoate + Water
31 of 35
Give the 2 main features of Esters
1. Volatile compounds 2. Have distinctive smells
32 of 35
Why are carboxylic acids considered 'weak acids'?
They do not ionise completely in an aqueous solution
33 of 35
Define a strong acid
An acid which ionises completely in an aqueous solution.
34 of 35
Due tot he fact carboxylic acids are 'weak acids', what are they like in comparison to strong acids?
They have higher pH and react more slowly than stronger acids.
