Lesson: Reactions of Alcohols Chemistry

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe various reactions of alcohols and predict what products are formed.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions for the dehydration of alcohols to form alkenes,
describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions for the reaction of alcohols with hydrogen halides,
describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions for the reaction of alcohols with sodium metal,
predict the products of the above reactions given the reactants, or vice versa,
describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions for the oxidation of alcohols,
predict the different products from the oxidation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.
