H+ catalyst + steam
2
Q
alcohol -> alkene
A
acid catalyst + heat
3
Q
Properties of alcohols
A
- less volatile than alkenes (H bonds)
- high MP (H bonds)
- soluble in water (form H bonds with H2O molecules) but become less soluble as carbon chain length increases
- polar molecule due to polar O-H bond
4
Q
Heat produced per mol when burnt trend for alcohols
A
more carbons in chain = quantity heat produced/mol increases
5
