types of alcohols were to be differentiated along with aldehydes and ketones. Hydroxyl groups are functional groups containing OH- atoms acting as substituents in an organic compound, carbonyl- groups refer to a divalent group consisting of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom. Hydroxyl groups are characteristic functional groups of alcohols and phenols, while carbonyl groups are characteristic functional groups of aldehydes and ketones. The samples include ethanol, n-butyl alcohol, sec-butyl

percent of the alcohol is absorbed in the stomach and about 80 percent is absorbed in the small intestine. How fast the alcohol is absorbed depends upon several things: • The concentration of alcohol in the beverage - The greater the concentration, the faster the absorption. • The type of drink - Carbonated beverages tend to speed up the absorption of alcohol. • Whether the stomach is full or empty - Food slows down alcohol absorption. After absorption, the alcohol enters the bloodstream

attack. Because the carbonyl contains no good leaving group, addition occurs rather than substitution. Aldehydes and ketones are polar compounds; however, the pure compounds do not undergo hydrogen bonding as the alcohols do. Thus the boiling points of aledehydes and ketones are lower than alcohols, but higher than alkanes or ethers. Low molecular weight carbonyl compounds are water soluble. Tests used to classify aldehydes and ketones Question 1 Identify the tests used to classify aldehydes and ketones
