There are too many different alcohols for any question dealing with "all" alcohols to be answered. Also, the answer will depend on the relative quantities of the alcohols in the mixture.

What do all alcohols have in common?

All alcohols have a hydroxyl functional group (OH) attached to a carbon atom. They are organic compounds characterized by this OH group, which gives alcohols their similar properties such as being flammable and having the potential to undergo oxidation reactions.


What kind of alcohols can be used to prepare aldehydes?

Primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes using mild oxidizing agents such as PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate) or PDC (pyridinium dichromate). Examples of primary alcohols that can be used include ethanol, propanol, and butanol.

Is density a new unit?

'Density' is not a unit at all. Density is how tightly atoms in an object are packed together. Therefore, density isn't a new unit, or a unit at all for that matter. The SI units of density are kg m-3. It common use the cgs unit g cm-3 is much more prevalent.

No, diamonds are not soluble in alcohols. Diamonds are very resistant to chemical reactions and do not dissolve in most solvents, including alcohols.


The alcohols are organic equivalents of inorganic?

Alcohols can be considered organic equivalents of inorganic water. Alcohols can form hydrogen bonds with water and low weight alcohols are miscible in water.


Why tertiary alcohol reacts with metallic sodium less rapidly than primary alcohol?

Tertiary acids are less acidic than primary alcohols (which are, themselves, not usually all that acidic). This is because of increased electron density on the oxygen atom of the tertiary alcohol, and also steric hindrance for solvation of the resultant alkoxide ion. The net effect is that tertiary alcohols generally tend to "hold on" to their alcoholic hydrogen more tightly than primary alcohols.
