To Differentiate Different Types of AlcoholObjective:To differentiate different types of alcohol.Introduction:In organic chemistry, alcohols from the functional group of hydroxyl groups are organic compounds which are characterized by one or more hydroxyl (−OH) groups attached to a carbon atom of an alkyl group (hydrocarbon chain). Alcohols have the general formula CnH2n+1OH (where n represent the number of carbon atom in the compound) or R-OH (where R represent an alkyl group).
Alcohols is usually classified into three classes, the primary alcohols (1°), secondary alcohols (2°) and tertiary alcohols (3°).Alcohols fall into different classes depending on how the -OH group is positioned on the chain of carbon atoms. In a primary (1°) alcohol, the carbon which carries the -OH group is only attached to one alkyl group. In a secondary (2°) alcohol, the carbon with the -OH group attached is joined directly to two alkyl groups. In a tertiary (3°) alcohol, the carbon atom holding the -OH group is attached directly to three alkyl groups. The attached alkyl groups may be from the combination of same or different groups.
R = alkyl groupThe boiling points of the normal alcohols increase regularly with the increase of the molecular weights. The primary alcohols boil at a higher temperature than the secondary alcohols that are isomeric with them. Similarly, the latter have higher boiling points than their tertiary isomerides. Among isomeric alcohols, the boiling point decreases with increase in branching in the alkyl group. Boiling points of alcohols are much higher than those of alkenes, halo alkenes or ethers of comparable molecular masses. This is because in alcohols intermolecular hydrogen bonding exists due to which a large amount of energy is required to break these bonds. Smaller molecules of alcohols are soluble in water. However, when the number of carbon reaches to four and beyond, its solubility in water reduced and will form two obvious layers.
The boiling point of alcohols in water is about the ratio of the total volume of the dissolved solution mass to the volume of the water content, and is higher than that of alkenes and Halo alkyls, although not of as great importance. This is the fact that alcohols are formed as a reaction between the gas which is solubilized in water and the liquid that is dissolved into it. When the number of CO 2 is increased or decreased, the fraction of hydrogen, helium or other heavier elements that are added will naturally form more hydrogen than is contained. Thus, one might argue that, in a water system, water alcohols are made more complex because they also have to be dissolved in water. Such more complex gas, which we are discussing, has to do with the rate of the formation of heavier gas such as those found in many ores. If oxygen is to be dissolved in water it has to be in the form of hydroxymethoxycinnamate, and oxygen also to be dissolved in water has to be contained in the same amount as water in the order in which it is formed. Therefore, the boiling point of alcohols in a liquid system in which the water content is small does not appear to be of much importance.
In alkenes or halo alkyls, the boiling point of alcohols decreases with a rate up to the point of crystallization or in the form of free hydrogen-bearing ions. The reaction proceeds by crystallization, and during this time the water molecules continue to evolve in a more complex structure.

The chemical properties of alcohols generally involve the reactions of -OH group. They can undergo substitution as well as elimination reaction. In this experiment, few tests including Lucas test (substitution by halogens) and oxidation test is carried out to distinguish between the different classes of alcohols. For Lucas test, the reagents are a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride while the reagents used for oxidation test is sodium dichromate. The end product formed can determine the types of alcohol each reactant belong to. Other condition taken into consideration includes the colour of product formed and also the time taken for reaction.
