  1. Alcohols • Similar to Hydrocarbons except for one group of chemicals. • OH group. • Hydroxyl group

  2. Alcohols • The hydroxyl group gives the Alcohols some properties that are different to Hydrocarbons. • Other properties of Alcohols are very similar to Hydrocarbons.

  3. Alcohols • Naming Prefix Same as hydrocarbons Suffix -anol

  4. H H H C C OH H H Alcohol 2 Carbons – Eth -OH group – anol Name Ethanol

  5. H H C OH H Alcohol 1 Carbon – Meth -OH group – anol Name Methanol

  6. Alcohols • Physical Properties • Boiling and Melting Points • The boiling and melting points of Alcohols are higher than similar hydrocarbons

  7. Alcohol • Methane BP -161oC • Methanol BP 65oC • Ethane BP -89oC • Ethanol BP 78oC

  8. Alcohols • Why do Alcohols have a much higher BP than Hydrocarbons? • The only difference is the –OH group in Alcohols. • The –OH group means that a stronger type of bond can form between molecules in Alcohols –a hydrogen bond

  9. Alcohols • Hydrogen bonds require a lot of energy to break so the Melting and Boiling Points of Alcohols are high.

  10. Alcohols • Hydrocarbons do not dissolve in water. • Oil floats on top of water. • They are insoluble in water • Alcohols dissolve in water. • It is soluble in water • The reason once again is the –OH group.

  11. Alcohols • Water is a Polar compound. • It has +ve end and a –ve end. • Polar compounds can dissolve in water. • Non-polar compounds cannot dissolve in water. • The –OH group makes Alcohols polar compounds. • Hydrocarbons are non-polar.

  12. Alcohols • Alcohols burn the same way as Hydrocarbons. • Complete combustion – CO2 + H2O • Incomplete combustion – C, CO + H2O

  13. Alcohols • Reactions • Combustion- Complete • With plentiful Oxygen Alcohols burn and produce water and carbon dioxide Ethanol + oxygen → water + carbon dioxide C2H5OH + 3O2→ 3H2O + 2CO2
