This question is about alcohols.<br>a) The alcohols are members of a homologous series.<br>i) Write down the general formula for this homologous series.<br>ii) Write down the names and draw the structures of the two monohydric alcohols (alcohols that have only one $$-\mathrm{OH}$$ group) containing three carbon atoms per molecule.<br>b) On analysis, a 10.00 g sample of an alcohol was found to contain 3.75 g of carbon, 1.25 g of hydrogen, and 5.00 g of oxygen. Use this data to find the empirical formula of this alcohol. Suggest its molecular formula.<br>c) The dissociation energy of ethanol is shown below<br>$$\mathrm{C_2H_5OH(g) \rightarrow 2C(g) + 6H(g) + O(g)}$$, $$\Delta H = +3234\ \text{kJ/mol}$$ of ethanol<br>Using bond energy values (given below) calculate the bond energy of C-O per mole.<br>[Bond energies, H-H = 436 kJ/mol, C-H = 435 kJ/mol, O-H = 464 kJ/mol, C-C = 347 kJ/mol]
