学习目标
- Describe alcohols as a homologous series with the general formula $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{H}_{2 \mathrm{n}+1} \mathrm{OH}$.
- Be able to name, or recognise from the name, $\mathrm{C}_1$ to $\mathrm{C}_6$ straight-chain alcohols, including the position of the $\mathrm{-OH}$ group.
- Describe the reaction of alcohols with sodium metal.
- Describe carboxylic acids as a homologous series with the general formula $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{H}_{2 \mathrm{n}+1} \mathrm{COOH}$.
- Be able to name, or recognise from the name, $\mathrm{C}_1$ to $\mathrm{C}_6$ straight-chain carboxylic acids.
- Describe the chemical properties of carboxylic acids as those of weak acids, and so be able to predict their reactions and determine the formulae of their salts.
- Know that carboxylic acids react with alcohols in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce esters.
