● investigate the structural formulae, properties and functional group including:
– primary
– secondary
– tertiary alcohols
● explain the properties within and between the homologous series of alcohols with reference to the intermolecular and intramolecular bonding present
● conduct a practical investigation to measure and reliably compare the enthalpy of combustion for a range of alcohols
● write equations, state conditions and predict products to represent the reactions of alcohols, including but not limited to (ACSCH128, ACSCH136):
– combustion
– dehydration
– substitution with HX
– oxidation
● investigate the production of alcohols, including:
– substitution reactions of halogenated organic compounds
– fermentation
● investigate the products of the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols
● compare and contrast fuels from organic sources to biofuels, including ethanol[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text]Extract from Chemistry Stage 6 Syllabus © 2017 NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA)[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
