ALCOHOLS Alcohols are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been replaced by an -OH group. For the purposes of UK A level‚ we will only look at compounds containing one -OH group. For example: Primary alcohols In a primary (1°) alcohol‚ the carbon which carries the -OH group is only attached to one alkyl group Some examples of primary alcohols include: Secondary alcohols In a secondary (2°) alcohol‚ the carbon with the -OH group attached is joined directly to

Causes why teenager drink alcohol Why teenagers consume alcohol? Teenager years can be a very challenging time for parents as well as children. This is the time when teens are very weak. Teenage years create challenges for the parents as they tend to get influenced by their peers. Teens are more likely to start experimenting with drinking if they have parents who drink‚ if they have friends who are also drinking‚ and if their parents don’t give those clear messages about not drinking

Lobbying in Alcohol industry in EU 1. Alcohol industry in EU The economic role of the alcoholic drinks industry is considerable in many European countries. Alcohol excise duties in the EU15 countries amounted to €25 billion in 2001‚ excluding sales taxes and other taxes paid within the supply chain – although €1.5 billion is given back to the supply chain through the Common Agricultural Policy. Due to the relative inelasticity of the demand for alcohol‚ the average tax rates are a

UNETHICAL ISSUES STIRRED UP BY ALCOHOL COMPANIES The most severe and significant unethical act by Carlsberg is its marketing strategy. Over here‚ we will analyse and interpret a string of unethical marketing activities by Carlsberg. By definition‚ alcohol advertising is one-sided and presents alcohol consumption as a safe and problem-free practice‚ de-emphasizing the potential health risks and negative consequences. • Targeting the young drinkers In 2006‚ Carlsberg spent about US$2

Drug and Alcohol Awareness After conducting our research we have discovered that drug and alcohol awareness is a major factor in preventing the abuse by employees. Drug and alcohol awareness is the first step in recognizing that there may be a problem with how people are handling their stress on a daily basis. Rather than dealing with drug and alcohol abuse when it’s too late‚ our team believes that addressing the causes of abuse before they start would benefit both the company as well

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides Title: Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides Abstract: In this experiment the conversion of alcohols to alkyl halides are investigated through reflux and simple distillation. These are common procedures used to separate substances. After the reflux and distillation is complete 13C NMR and IR spectrum is used to identify the product or products for each reaction: 1a‚ 1b‚ and 2. Every individual in the group was assigned either 1a (1-propanol) or 1b (2-pentanol)

Summary: Argumentative essay on the topic of drinking on campus. Compares the consequences versus the benefits of alcohol consumption by college students. Drinking on campus is a problem that affects most college students‚ either directly or indirectly. I‚ for one‚ am against drinking on campus. As a student of Stevens Institute of Technology‚ I can say that drinking on campus is as rampant as a fire in a toothpick factory. Several friends of mine at colleges around the country tell me that their

Comparing the enthalpy changes of combustion of different alcohols Aim In this experiment I will investigate the enthalpy changes of combustion. In particular I will be investigating the enthalpy change of combustion for different alcohols. I hope to investigate some of the homologous series alcohols‚ as well as a few structural isomers of these alcohols. Background & theory Enthalpy cannot be measured. What we can actually measure is the enthalpy change from the reactants to the products.
