What is the importance of Lucas test?
It is used to distinguish between primary,secondary & tertiary alcohols
What reagents are used to convert alcohols to alkyl halides?
HX X being a halide. Which makes it basic
What is glycerin used for?
Glycerin has hundreds of uses in chemistry and manufacturing. The kind you buy for home use is commonly used as a skin lotion (it is the base ingredient in many skin lotions). Lotions can be expensive and can contain glycerin plus dyes, perfumes, spreaders and alcohols. The additives can cause Allergies and the alcohols can cause dryness so many people use just the glycerin as a moisturizer. "Anhydrous" just means it has very little or no water (is nearly pure glycerin).
How can a solution of ammonia be used to prepare ammonia sulphate?
A solution of ammonia can be used to prepare ammoniumsulfate by reacting it with a solution of sulfuric acid to produce a solution of ammonium sulfate, which can be dried if desired to prepare solid ammonium sulfate.
Lucas reagent is used to test what homologous series?
Lucas reagent is used to test for the presence of alcohols in a substance. It is made from anhydrous zinc chloride and concentrated hydrochloric acid.
What kinds of alcohols can be used to prepare ketones?
Secondary and tertiary alcohols can form ketones. A primary alcohol will form an aldehyde.
What kind of ethylene glycol is used to prepare brake fluid?
none is used to prepare it, it is antifreeze!
What is the purpose of chromic acid test?
[edit] Use in qualitative organic analysisIn organic chemistry, dilute solutions of hexavalent chromium can be used to oxidize primary or secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones. Tertiary alcohol groups are unaffected. Because of the oxidation is signaled by a color change from orange to a blue-green, chromic acid is used as a qualitative analytical test for the presence of primary or secondary alcohols.
What are some examples of antimicrobial agents?
Antibacterial are agents used to disinfect surfaces thereby eliminating potentially harmful bacteria. Common agents are alcohols, chlorine, peroxides, and aldehydes. Also, triclosan, triclocarban, and benzalkonium chloride are the longer acting agents we now use for surfaces.
What is female sperm made of?
Women do not have 'sperm' but they do secrete a fluid known as Vaginal Discharge which are fluids that secrete from the uterus. These fluids are composed of water, pyridine, squalene, urea, acetic acid, lactic acid, complex alcohols and glycols, ketones, and aldehydes. They are used to lubricate the vagina and fight off bacteria.
What are alcohols used in?

Why are alcohols used in widow washing liquid?
yes
Why can't you used calcium chloride to dry methanol?

What oxidizing agents can be used to oxidize alcohols?
Ch3-coh-ch3
What type of alcohols is fischer esterification limited to?
Primary and secondary alcohols are commonly used in the process and work efficiently with an acid catalyst but tertiary alcohols can also be used in some cases under the right conditions. One the reasons that it is more difficult to use tertiary alcohols is because of the steric hinderance which exists in the molecule so there is too much molecular interaction for a stable compound to form.
What is borsch reagent and its reaction?
bORSCH REAGENT ALSO CALLED bRADY REAGENT .iT IS USED TO DETCT ALDEHYDES AND KETONES
Products in which Sugar alcohols are most often used?
sugar alcohols are popular in sugar-free gums and mints. They are less sweet than sucrose.
