Scientific Question How the alcohols classify and how are they useful?
Hypothesis if we put alcohol through different reactions then it will be able to classify it.
Previous Questionnaire
1. According to their degree of substitution, how are
alcohols classified? Indicate the order of reactivity in an
oxidation as well as products produced.
R=primary, secondary, or tertiary.
The y give ketones, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids.
2. What are some physical properties alcohols exhibit?
Soluble in water, flammable and viscosity
3. Write down the general equations of the alcohol´s chemical properties.
CnH2n+1OH + (1.5n)O2 → (n+1)H2O + nCO2
C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (g); (ΔHc = −1371 kJ/mol)
5. How can a 1º, 2º and 3º alcohol be experimentally identified?
They produce ketones, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids.

Results
Tert-butanol, was the fastest in react and turned gray.
Isopropyl, remain the same and was the second one to react;
and ethanol turned gray.
Ethanol, smelled acid while pentanol turned red with a softer
smell.
Discussion
Tert-butyl was a primary because it was the fastest in react, the
fastest to substitute alcohol, following the same logic, isopropyl
was secondary and ethanol was the third. As the doctors Anne S.
Hansen , Lin Du and Henrik G. Kjaergaard´s work.
One error was the lack of time to properly observe reactions
Conclusions
The hypothesis was correct because by putting alcohol through
certain condition it was able to determine their classification
