Summary of Physical Properties Of Alcohal | organic Chemistry | bsc 2nd yr Chemistry | Aarti mam Chemistry
Alcohol is a liquid with a pungent smell and is water-soluble due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
The boiling point of alcohols is higher than hydrocarbons, haloalkanes, and carboxylic acids.
Alcohol can donate both Alcohol plus and minus signs due to similar electronegativities between carbon and oxygen.
Adding ammonia to Alcohol forms primary amines, which can be further reacted to form secondary amines.
Dehydrating agents like ZnCl2 can be used in group reactions with Alcohol to form alkyl halides.
Esterification reactions can be carried out with alcohols and carboxylic acids in the presence of concentrated H2SO4.
The mechanism of reactions involving Alcohol can be understood by considering the movement of electrons and charges.
