Alkenes & Alcohols: Reactions of Alcohols 🧪 GCSE Chemistry Learning & Revision
Update: 2025-06-17
Description
In this episode, we discuss reactions of alcohols.
Alcohols exhibit consistent reactivity with various substances.
When mixed with water, they form neutral solutions. Their reaction with sodium yields hydrogen gas. Strong oxidising agents transform alcohols into carboxylic acids.
Finally, in the presence of air and heat, alcohols undergo complete combustion, producing carbon dioxide and water, as exemplified by the provided equation for methanol.
