| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| derivatives of hydrocarbons in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced by a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group | alchols |
| wood alchohol | methanol |
| grain alcohol | ethanol |
| general formula for an alcohol | R-OH |
| an alcohol that contains an -OH functional group attached to a carbon that has one or no carbon atoms directly attached to it | primary alcohol |
| an alcohol in which the -OH is attached to a carbon atom having two other carbon atoms directly attached to it | secondary alcohol |
| an alcohol in which the -OH is attached to a carbon atom having three other carbon atoms attached to it | tertiary alcohol |
| is methanol a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol? | primary |
| is isopropyl alcohol a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol? | secondary |
| is tert-butanol a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol? | tertiary |
| alcohol with one one -OH group or hydroxyl group | monohydroxy alcohols |
| an alcohol containing two hydroxyl groups | dihydroxyl alcohols |
| dihydroxyl alcohols are also called | diols |
| an alcohol containing three hydroxyl groups | trihydroxyl alcohols |
| trihydroxyl alcohols are also called | triols |
| glycerol or glycerin are examples of monohydroxy, dihydroxyl, or trihyrdroxyl alcohols? | trihydroxyl alcohol |
| ethylene glycol is an example of monohydroxy, dihydroxyl, or trihydroxyl alcohols? | dihydroxyl alcohol |

| weak acid | phenol |
| hydroxybenzene | phenol |
| any organic chemical that contains the -SH radical, formed when the oxygen of an alcohol is replaced by sulfur | mercaptan |
| what is the general formula for a mercaptan? | R-SH |
| mercaptans are also called | thiols |
| formed during the dehydration of an alcohol where sulfuric acid is considered a dehydrating agent that removes water from two molecules of alcohol | ether |
