Organic Chemistry The Alcohols Leaving Certificate Chemistry

2 The alcohols are a group of organic compounds in which one (or more) of the hydrogen atoms of an alkane have been replaced by an –OH hydroxyl group.

3 The First 4 Alcohols Structural Formulae
Methanol: CH3OH -OH Group present 1 Carbon-Long H H C OH H

4 The First 4 Alcohols Structural Formulae
Ethanol: C2H5OH Other Uses -OH Group Present 2 Carbon Longest Chain H H C6H12O6 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 H C C OH Glucose Ethanol H H Produced in industry by fermentation Fuel Solvent Thermometer

5 The First 4 Alcohols Structural Formulae
Propanol: C3H7OH -OH Group Present 3 Carbon Longest Chain H H H H C C C H OH H H H

6 The First 4 Alcohols Structural Formulae
Butanol: C4H9OH -OH Group Ptresent 4 Carbon Longest Chain H H H H H C C C C OH H H H H

7 Primary & Secondary Alcohols
A primary alcohol is an alcohol in which the carbon atom that is bonded to the –OH (hydroxyl) group is itself also bonded to ONE other carbon atom A secondary alcohol is an alcohol in which the carbon atom that is bonded to the –OH (hydroxyl) group is itself also bonded to TWO other carbon atoms. H H H Propan-1-ol Propan-2-ol H C C C OH H H OH H H

8 Physical Properties of the Alcohols

9 Would you expect alcohols to have higher boiling points than alkanes/ Why?

10 Comparing the boiling points of the alkanes and the alcohols
2006 Q. 10 (c) 450 Boiling point in Kelvins 400 350 119 K Liquid 300 Gas 250 226.5 K 200 Number of Carbons 150 100 50 1 2 3 4

11 Why does each alcohol have a higher boiling point than its corresponding alkane?
Each alcohol has a higher relative molecular mass than its corresponding alkane 2006 Q. 10 (c) (7) Alcohols have strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding forces whereas alkanes are influenced by much weaker Van Der Waals forces.

12 H ∂— H C O H ∂+ H H O H C H H

13 Why is the difference in boiling points between methane and methanol K whilst the difference in boiling points between butane and butanol is only 119 K? Because the strength of the hydrogen bonding is much weaker in butanol than it is in methanol 2006 Q. 10 (c) (6) This helps to explain why butanol is virtually insoluble (slightly soluble) in water whereas methanol is very soluble in water

14 Would you expect alcohols to be soluble in water/ Why?
Would you expect all members of the alcohol family to be equally soluble in water? Why? Would you expect alcohols to be soluble in water/ Why?
