Resource summary
Alcohol
-OH Functional Group
Soluble due to -OH group forming hydrogen bonds with water
Hydrogen bonding reduces volatility (Higher Bp)
Solubility decreases with larger length chains. Long Chains disrupt hydrogen bonding between other water molecules
CnH2n+1OH
Ethanol C2H5OH
Hydration of Ethene
100% Atom Economy
Steam and Ethene with phosphoric acid catalyst
Fermentation of sugars
Involving yeast
Anaerobic respiration - without oxygen
Exothermic reaction
Fermentation stops at 15% as the ethanol kills yeast
Distillation required to increase the concentration
Reactions With:
Primary Alcohols
Gentle Heating under distillation. Acidified dichromate [O]
Aldehyde and water
-CHO Group
Rotting apples odour
Strong heating under reflux. Excess 2[O] acidified dichromate.
Carboxylic Acid and Water
-COOH Group
Vinegar Odour
Turns Litmus paper red
Secondary Alcohols
Reflux with excess 2[O] acidified dichromate
Ketone
-COC- Group
Fruity Odour
Alcohol and Ethanoic acid
Ester and water
E.g. CH3CH2OOCCH3
Fruity Smell
Colour change from Orange to Green
Tertiary Structures cannot be oxidised
