Answer 1

Answer:

Physical:

• Alcohols generally have higher boiling points in comparison to other hydrocarbons having equal molecular masses
• the solubility of alcohol decreases with the increase in the size of the alkyl group.
• Alcohols react with active metals such as sodium, potassium etc. to form the corresponding alkoxide.

Chemical:

• Alcohols undergo oxidation in the presence of an oxidizing agent to produce aldehydes and ketones which upon further oxidation give carboxylic acids.
• Upon treatment with protic acids, alcohols undergo dehydration (removal of a molecule of water) to form alkenes
• Alcohols are more acidic than amines and alkanes but less acidic than hydrogen halides
