CIE A Level Chemistry复习笔记3.4.4 Alcohol Dissociation
Acidity of Alcohols Alcohols have a low degree of dissociation This means, that when dissolved in water, alcohol molecules do not dissociate (split up) to a great extent ROH (aq) ⇄ RO- (aq) + H+ (a...
CIE A Level Chemistry复习笔记3.4.3 Classifying and Testing for Alcohols
Classifying Alcohols Primary alcohols are alcohols in which the carbon atom bonded to the -OH group is attached to one other carbon atom (or alkyl group) Secondary alcohols are alcohols in which th...
CIE A Level Chemistry复习笔记3.4.2 Reactions of Alcohols
Reactions of Alcohols Alcohols are reactive molecules which undergo a wide range of reactions Combustion of alcohols Alcohols react with oxygen in the air when ignited and undergo complete combusti...
CIE A Level Chemistry复习笔记3.4.1 Production of Alcohols
Production of Alcohols Alcohols are compounds that contain at least one hydroxy (-OH) group The general formula of alcohols is CnH2n+1OH Alcohols can be prepared by a wide range of chemical reactio...
CIE A Level Chemistry复习笔记3.3.5 Reactivity of Halogenoalkanes
Reactivity of Halogenoalkanes The halogenoalkanes have different rates of substitution reactions Since substitution reactions involve breaking the carbon-halogen bond the bond energies can be used ...
