First you need to collect some data about a range of alcohols and the related aldehyde. Look up the melting points and boiling points of methanol and methanal, ethanol and ethanal, propan-1-ol and propanal, butan-1-ol and butanal. Put them in a table and look for trends. What happens to the boiling points as the carbon chains increase in size? Which boiling points are higher, alcohols or aldehydes? You could draw a graph of boiling point against number of carbons in the chain. Show the line for alcohols and the line for aldehydes on the same axes. Do some similar analysis for melting points. You could also look at density data. Include some different reactions that alcohols and aldehydes undergo, including some quick tests for each. Fiinally, include some unquantifiable properties, like appearance and smell. How do alcohols smell differently than aldehydes.
No - it represent s an alcohol (ethanol to be specific). The formula for the equivalent aldehyde, ethanal, would be c2h4oh.
The nucleophilic oxygen in the alcohol can attack the carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde to form an ester. This reaction can be carried out under acidic conditions.
Pyridinium Chlorochromate
A Cannizzaro reaction is the disproportionation of an aldehyde into an alcohol and carboxylic acid.
The main difference between a hemiacetal and a hemiketal is the functional group involved. A hemiacetal forms when an alcohol group and an aldehyde group are involved, while a hemiketal forms when an alcohol group and a ketone group react. Additionally, in a hemiacetal, one oxygen atom is part of the alcohol group and one is part of the aldehyde group, whereas in a hemiketal, both oxygen atoms are part of the alcohol group.
Aldehyde
No - it represent s an alcohol (ethanol to be specific). The formula for the equivalent aldehyde, ethanal, would be c2h4oh.

The functional groups in vanillin are a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an aldehyde group (-CHO).
compare is when you compare two things that are the same and contrast is when you compare two things that are different.
The nucleophilic oxygen in the alcohol can attack the carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde to form an ester. This reaction can be carried out under acidic conditions.
Benzyl acetate is neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. It is an ester, specifically the ester of benzyl alcohol and acetic acid.
