ALCOHOLS & PHENOLS
An important portion of this course is the recognition of organic chemistry functional groups. These are parts of a molecule, with a specific structure that functions in a certain way. Not only are you to learn to recognize the functional groups (a listing can be found in your textbook or on the back cover of this laboratory manual), but you are also to learn the physical and chemical properties of each of the functional groups studied in the course. This laboratory exercise will introduce you to two of these functional groups, alcohols and phenols, as well as some of their
