Question 15

This question is about alcohols.

a.

Construct an equation for the complete combustion of an unsaturated alcohol with 4 carbon atoms and one double bond.

[2]
b.

The solubility of butan-1-ol and butane-1,4-diol in water is shown below:

  • Butan-1-ol: 73 g dm-3
  • Butane-1,4-diol: infinitely miscible

Explain the difference in solubility between butan-1-ol and butane-1,4-diol.

[2]
c.

Propan-1-ol can be oxidised to form two different organic products, depending on the reaction conditions used.

Describe both oxidation reactions of propan-1-ol. For each reaction include:

  • the structure of the organic product
  • a balanced equation
  • the essential reaction conditions.

In your equations you may use [O][\text{O}][O] to represent the oxidising agent.
