1
Q
what do alcohols form
A
a homologous series
2
Q
what is the functional group in alcohol
A
-OH (hydroxyl group)
3
Q
what do alcohols end in
A
‘ol’
4
Q
4 alcohols
A
methanol (CH3OH)
ethanol (C2H5OH)
propanol (C3H7OH)
butanol (C4H9OH)
5
Q
general formula for alcohols
A
C(n) H(2n+1) OH
6
Q
how do alcohols react
A
same products as alkanes or alkenes for combustion
7
Q
what does its functional group allow it
A
allows it to be oxidised to form ‘carboxylic acids’ (however, all other alcohol molecules don’t take part in the reaction)
