#2
Front (Question)

Alcohols What’s the suffix for one alcohol

Back (Answer)

-ol

#3
Front (Question)

Alcohols What is the suffix for two alcohol

Back (Answer)

-diol

#4
Front (Question)

Alcohols What’s the prefix

Back (Answer)

Hydroxy-

#5
Front (Question)

Alcohols What are the three types of alcohol

Back (Answer)

Primary secondary and tertiary

#6
Front (Question)

Alcohols What’s a primary alcohol

Back (Answer)

1 carbon around the carbon of the OH group (End of chain )

#7
Front (Question)

Alcohols Notation for a primary alcohol

Back (Answer)

1°

#8
Front (Question)

Alcohols What’s a secondary alcohol

Back (Answer)

2 carbon around carbon with OH group (In chain)

#9
Front (Question)

Alcohols Notation for secondary alcohol

Back (Answer)

2°

#10
Front (Question)

Alcohols What is a tertiary alcohol

Back (Answer)

3 carbon around carbon with OH group Branched

#11
Front (Question)

Alcohols Notation for tertiary alcohol

Back (Answer)

3°

#12
Front (Question)

Alcohols Are alcohols polar

Back (Answer)

Yes due to the electronegative hydroxyl group which pulls the electrons in the C-OH bond away from the carbon atom

#13
Front (Question)

Alcohols What type of IMF can alcohols form

Back (Answer)

Hydrogen bonds

#14
Front (Question)

Alcohols Compared to alkanes what is alcohols solubility like

Back (Answer)

High water solubility

#15
Front (Question)

Alcohols Why do alcohols have high water solubility

Back (Answer)

Hydrogen bonds form between the -OH and H2O so lets it mix freely

#16
Front (Question)

Alcohols What happens to water solubility as alchohl gets larger and why

Back (Answer)

Solubility decreases because most of the molecule is non polar so there’s less attraction for the polar H2O

#17
Front (Question)

Alcohols Do alcolhs have low or high melting and boiling points compared to alkanes and why

Back (Answer)

Hydrogen bonds formed between alcohols which are the strongest type of IMF and requires the most energy to overcome

#18
Front (Question)

Alcohols Are alcohol volatile

Back (Answer)

Relative low volatility compared to alkanes

#19
Front (Question)

Reactions of alcohols What is combustion

Back (Answer)

Burnt in oxygen

#20
Front (Question)

Reactions of alcohols What is produced in the combustion of alcohol

Back (Answer)

CO2 and H2O

#21
Front (Question)

Reactions of alcohols Why are alcohols more likely to undergo complete combustion in comparison to incomplete combustion that alkanes

Back (Answer)

Already have oxygen in structure

#22
Front (Question)

Reactions of alcohols Important to remember whilst balancing equation fo combustion

Back (Answer)

Oxygen atom in the alcohol

#23
Front (Question)

Reactions of alcohols What is dehydration

Back (Answer)

Removal of H2O

#24
Front (Question)

Reactions of alcohols In dehydration where is the H2O removed form

Back (Answer)

Loses the -OH and -H groups
