to not drink at all and stand up to peer pressure. The advice he gives to his children is to stay clear of alcohol and if you are brought into a situation involving alcohol excuse yourself from the party or wherever that may be. He explained that even if you aren ’t drinking and are in an environment with alcohol that new laws in Pennsylvania claim you are still in the possession of alcohol and you can get charged for that. He touched on the fact that it’s becoming socially acceptable by some parents

Properties of Alcohols and Phenols Experiment #3 Objectives: To observe the solubility of alcohols relative to their chemical structure‚ to perform chemical tests to distinguish primary‚ secondary and tertiary alcohols‚ and a color test for phenol. Introduction The general formula of an alcohol is ROH in which the R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. Alcohols may be looked upon as derivatives of water‚ HOH. One hydrogen of water is substituted by an alkyl group‚ R. Like water‚ alcohols show hydrogen

Lab 5 Oxidation of an alcohol CHM2123 Introduction: Oxidation is a key reaction in organic chemistry. Oxidation of an alcohol can produce aldehydes‚ ketones‚ or carboxylic acids. One of the methods of oxidation is an aldol reaction through carbon-carbon bonds. The oxidation oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols oxidizes ketones. Tertiary alcohols are converted to the common oxidizing agents. Scheme 5.1: Aldehydes can be oxidized easily to carboxylic acids in aqueous medias

Aim To find out difference in the heat of combustion for different types of alcohols. Hypothesis The higher the number of carbon atoms in an alcohol is‚ the higher the energy for the heat of combustion. Alcohol is a homologous series‚ a series of organic compounds with similar formula and chemical properties‚ and increase in molecular size and mass. When the equations for combustion of these alcohols are listed in the order of increasing number of carbon atoms‚ Methanol 1 CH3OH(l) + 3/2 O2(g)

The Abuse of Alcohol Christine Townsend University Of Pheoniox Author Note This essay is being submitted on October 21‚ 2012‚ for Karen Spears Reading and Writing Strategies course. The Abuse of Alcohol A large part of the population in the United States abuse or used to abuse alcohol. The health and social problems are enormous‚ leading to an increase in unemployment‚ homelessness and even death. Alcoholism can cause a lonely and poor life style. Many people use certain excuses to drink

The article I reviewed is entitled “The Prospective Association Between Sipping Alcohol by the Sixth Grade and Later Substance Use” by Kristina M. Jackson‚ Nancy P. Barnett‚ Suzanne M. Colby‚ and Michelle L. Rogers. This study focuses on discovering whether or not alcohol consumption at a young age causes risky behaviors in the later youth stages. Early alcohol use causes subsequent unfortunate outcomes such as alcohol problems‚ use disorders‚ risky sexual behaviors‚ lower school achievement‚ unintentional

Combustion Of Alcohols Planning This investigation involves burning alcohol in the air. Key science- Chemistry by Eileen Ramsden says that " an alcohol is a series of organic‚ homologous compounds‚ with the general formula Cn H2n+1OH". The alcohol reacts with the oxygen in the air to form the products water and carbon dioxide: Cn H2n+1OH +(n+n/2)-1O2 ? nH2O + nCO2 The structure of the molecules in this reaction is: H H | | H - C - C - O- H + 3[O=O] ? 1/2[O=C=O] + 3[H-O-H] | | H H This reaction
