Alcohol's interaction with other drugs can be fatal because the effects double and can dangerously slow breathing and heart rate.

How can alcohol interaction with other drugs be fatal?

The interaction between the chemicals/drugs and the alcohol and with your body system.


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.


Do alcohols have higher boiling points compared to other substances?

Yes, alcohols generally have higher boiling points compared to other substances due to the presence of hydrogen bonding between alcohol molecules.

How you distinguise the primarysecondary and tartiary alchol?

Primary alcohols have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom that is only bonded to one other carbon atom. Secondary alcohols have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to two other carbon atoms. Tertiary alcohols have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to three other carbon atoms.


What is the difference between primary secondary and tertiary alcohols?

Primary alcohols have the –OH group attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to only one other carbon atom, secondary alcohols have the –OH group attached to a carbon atom bonded to two other carbon atoms, and tertiary alcohols have the –OH group attached to a carbon atom bonded to three other carbon atoms. The classification is based on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon atom holding the –OH group.


Is Methyl the functional group that is commonly found in alcohols?

No, methyl is not a functional group commonly found in alcohols. The functional group that is commonly found in alcohols is the hydroxyl group (-OH). Methyl, on the other hand, is a functional group commonly found in compounds called methyl groups (-CH3).


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.


Are alcohols more reactive than ethers?

No, ethers are generally less reactive than alcohols. Alcohols have a hydroxyl group (-OH) that can participate in various chemical reactions such as oxidation, dehydration, and nucleophilic substitution. Ethers, on the other hand, lack such a reactive functional group and are generally more inert.


What oxidizing agents can be used to oxidize alcohols?

Common oxidizing agents for oxidizing alcohols include chromium(VI) compounds like chromic acid (H2CrO4) or potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), as well as other reagents such as pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). These agents are used to convert primary alcohols to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, and secondary alcohols to ketones.


What is a interaction?

A magnetic interaction is when magnets find a way to unite; interact with each other.


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.
