Question 20

This question is about alcohols.

a.

Construct an equation for the complete combustion of an unsaturated alcohol with 5 carbon atoms and one double bond.

[2]
b.

The solubility of hexan-1-ol and hexane-1,6-diol in water is shown below:

  • Hexan-1-ol: 5.9 g dm-3
  • Hexane-1,6-diol: 500 g dm-3

Explain the difference in solubility between hexan-1-ol and hexane-1,6-diol.

[2]
c.

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

Describe both oxidation reactions of butan-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.
