Methanol, propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol are alcohols. The displayed formulae of methanol and propan-1-ol are shown in Fig. 7.1. [Figure 7.1 showing methanol and propan-1-ol displayed formulae]

1. (a)State the general formula of the homologous series of alcohols.[1]
2. (b)(i)Propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol have the same molecular formula but different structural formulae. State the name given to compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulae.[1]
3. (b)(ii)Draw the structural formula for propan-2-ol.[1]
4. (c)State why propan-1-ol is a saturated compound.[1]
5. (d)State why propan-1-ol is not a hydrocarbon.[1]
6. (e)(i)Propan-1-ol reacts in the same way as ethanol. Draw the displayed formula of the product of the reaction of propan-1-ol with acidified aqueous potassium manganate(VII).[1]
7. (e)(ii)Draw the displayed formula of the product of the reaction of propan-1-ol with ethanoic acid in the presence of a catalyst.[1]
8. (f)(i)Methanol is a covalent substance. Draw a dot-and-cross diagram to show the bonding in a molecule of methanol. Include only the outer shell electrons of each atom.[2]
9. (f)(ii)State why methanol does not conduct electricity.[1]
10. (g)Methanol is used as a solvent. State the meaning of the term solvent.[1]
