Assignment Sir Yasir Chemistry CH # 18

This document contains questions about alcohols, phenols, and ethers. It asks about the properties, reactions, and distinguishing characteristics of these functional groups. Some key points covered include: 1) Alcohol properties like hydrogen bonding and boiling points. Phenol can be distinguished from alcohols using bromine water. 2) Reactions of alcohols like oxidation and dehydration. Phenol reacts with zinc dust and acetyl chloride to form an ester. 3) Ether properties such as their relative stability and ability to act as a base or solvent. Williamson ether synthesis and the reaction of diethyl ether with HI are discussed. 4) Differences between
