What are the general rules?]]> 2017-01-30 08:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/150154653 rossvanvuuren https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/150693259 Naming alkanols is much the same as naming alkenes: use the lowest number possible to indicate the position of the functional group (in the case of alkanols, this will be the OH group attached to the hydrocarbon chain). For example, the following alkanol will be 2-propanol:
see this link.
So, what is the name of the following alkanol?]]> 2017-01-31 21:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/150693259 rossvanvuuren https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/150728257 What is the systematic name of the following compound?]]> 2017-02-01 02:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/150728257 rossvanvuuren https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/151035613 Name the following carboxylic acid:]]> 2017-02-02 03:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/151035613 monica_hanna https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/151052463 what is the difference between alcohols and alkanols?
--- how come compounds with an OH group can all be classified as alcohols, but only some compounds are further classified as alkanols as well ? ]]> 2017-02-02 07:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/151052463 rossvanvuuren https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/151338182 Esters are nice smelling compounds that give fruits, vegetables and many foods and drinks their flavour and smell.

Can you think of any other animals/plants that use acids to defend themselves? What about acids that exist naturally - ascorbic acid, citric  acid; where are these found, what is their role?]]> 2017-02-03 22:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/151575880 rossvanvuuren https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/5iysov53rtqk/wish/151578772 Are esters relevant to your wine-making project & ERT?
