What are kinds of alcohols?

There are three types of alcohols, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol and methyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is the type that is consumed.


Stractural differences of tertiary alcohols?

Tertiary alcohols have three alkyl groups attached to the carbon atom bearing the hydroxyl group. This results in a more hindered structure compared to primary and secondary alcohols, making tertiary alcohols less reactive towards oxidation reactions. Additionally, tertiary alcohols can undergo elimination reactions to form alkenes more readily than primary or secondary alcohols due to the stability of the resulting carbocation intermediate.


How will you distinguish between primary secondary and tersiory alcohols?

Primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols can be distinguished based on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon atom that carries the hydroxyl (-OH) group. In primary alcohols, the -OH group is attached to a carbon that is bonded to only one other carbon atom. In secondary alcohols, the -OH group is connected to a carbon bonded to two other carbons, while in tertiary alcohols, the -OH group is on a carbon bonded to three other carbons. This can be confirmed using chemical tests, such as oxidation reactions, where primary alcohols oxidize to aldehydes, secondary alcohols to ketones, and tertiary alcohols do not oxidize easily.


Why tertiary alcohol is more reactive?

Tertiary alcohols are also bonded to three other carbon atoms (whereas secondary alcohols are bonded to two, primary alcohols to one). These other carbon atoms share their electronegative charges with the middle carbon.


Is a diamond soluble in alcohols?

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.


What is the density of all alcohols together?

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.


How many different propyl alcohols can you build?

There are three different propyl alcohols that can be built: 1-propanol, 2-propanol (isopropanol), and 2-methyl-1-propanol. These alcohols have different structures based on the position of the hydroxyl group and branching of the carbon chain.


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.


Why teritay alcohol cannot be made by hydrogenation of aldehydes or ketones?

Ter. alcohols are those in which alpha carbon (carbon bearing halogen atom) is attached to three other carbon atoms, in aldehyde there is only one and in ketones there are two carbons attached to alpha carbon so by hydrogenation aldehydes may be converted into primary alcohols and ketones into secondary alcohols so preparation of ter. alcohols is not possible. however ketones with Grignard's reagents may produce tertiary alcohols.
