Be sure to answer all parts. draw the products formed when 2−propanol [(ch3)2choh], the main ingredient of rubbing alcohol, is treated with h2so4.

2 propanol if reacted with H₂SO₄ at 130 C will be obtained dipropyl ether

and if reacted at 180 C, propene will be obtained

Alcohol is an alkane derivative where one H atom is replaced by a OH⁻ group

2 propanol is a compound that has a molecular formula equal to 1 propanol but different in its functional group

Several alcoholic reactions occur including:

The H atom from the OH group is substituted by the active metal to form alkoxide

2C₃H₇OH + 2Na ---> 2C₃H₇ONa + H₂

Cluster Oh can be substituted with halogens if reacted with concentrated HCl, PCl₃, PCl₅

C₃H₇OH + HCl ---> C₃H₇Cl + H₂O

Oxidation of primary alcohols forms aldehydes and carboxylic acids

Secondary alcohols form ketones

tertiary alcohols are not oxidized

Alcohol reacts with carboxylic acids to form esters and water, better known as esterification reactions

5. Dehydration of alcohol

Alcohol heated with concentrated sulfuric acid dehydrates (release of water molecules) forms ether (at 130 C) or alkene (at 180 C)

2 propanol if reacted with H₂SO₄ at 130 C will be obtained dipropyl ether

and if reacted at 180 C, propene will be obtained
