Alcohols undergo esterification when they react with carboxylic acids to form esters.

Ethers undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions under strong acidic conditions.

Phenols undergo electrophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which activates the benzene ring.

All the listed methods (hydration of alkenes, reduction of aldehydes, and reduction of ketones) can be used to synthesize alcohols.

Ethers can be synthesized by the dehydration of two alcohol molecules.

Ethers can be prepared by the dehydration of two alcohol molecules.

1-butanol has the hydroxyl group attached to a primary carbon atom.

2-pentanol has the hydroxyl group on the second carbon, making it a secondary alcohol.

The correct IUPAC name for CH3CH2CH2OH is Butan-1-ol, as it has four carbon atoms with the hydroxyl group on the first carbon.

Phenol is more acidic than water, which is more acidic than ethanol due to the stability of the phenoxide ion.

Alcohols have higher boiling points than alkanes due to hydrogen bonding.

Ethers are generally less reactive than alcohols due to the absence of a hydroxyl group.

Phenols are weak acids due to the ability of the hydroxyl group to donate a proton.

Ethers are commonly used as solvents due to their relatively low reactivity and ability to dissolve a wide range of substances.

All of the listed reagents (SOCl2, HCl, PBr3) can be used to convert alcohols to alkyl halides.

Thionyl chloride (SOCl2) is commonly used to convert alcohols to alkyl halides.

Thionyl chloride (SOCl2) is commonly used to convert alcohols to alkyl halides.

Sodium phenoxide reacts with alkyl halides to form phenyl ethers in a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
