Preparation of Alcohol
1. FERMENTATION
Yeast produce an enzyme called zymase.
Zymase enzyme breaks down the glucose molecules to simpler molecule,
namely ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Yeast is killed by ethanol concentrations in excess of about 15%, and that
limits the purity of the ethanol that can be produced.
2. HYDRATION
Chemical Properties of Alcohol
1.Combustion
C2H5OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O
2.Dehydration of Alcohol
• Decompose to form alkene and water.
3. Oxidation
Alcohols can be oxidized to produce carboxylic acid
by oxidizing agent
a.Acidified potassium dichromate(VI)
b.Acidified potassium manganate (VII)
Oxidising Agent
Oxidation of Alcohol
Alcohol is heated under reflux with excess oxidising agent.
The reflux technique used to prevent the alcohol vapour escape to the surrounding.
When the reaction is complete, the carboxylic acid is distilled off.
acidified potassium dichromate(VI)
• orange solution containing the dichromate(VI) ions is
reduced to a green solution containing chromium(III) ions.
acidified potassium manganate (VII)
• purple colour of potassium manganate (VII) decolourised.

Preparing Carboxylic Acid
= Oxidation of ALCOHOL
• Base
Carboxylic Acid + Base Oxide/Alkali → Salt + Water
• metal carbonate
Carboxylic Acid + Metal Carbonate → Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water
• Metal
Carboxylic Acid + Reactive Metal → Salt + H2
Chemical Properties
Just like other acids, carboxylic acid can react with:
Carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol to produce ESTER in the
Presence of CONCENTRATED SULPHURIC ACID
• Esterification
Carboxylic Acids + Alcohol → Ester + Water
Preparing Ester
OIL AND FATS

Polymer is a long chain made of single units that are
linked together.
The single units that link together to form a polymer are
called monomers
POLYMER

Properties of natural rubber
• Elastic and soft
• Not stable towards heat
Becomes warm at 50 degree celcius and melt/decompose
at 200 degree celcius
• Does not conduct electricity
• Hard and brittle and cold
• Insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvent such
as chloroform, benzene
