an alcohol
an alcohol belonging to the alkanol homologous series that is made up of Carbon atoms Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms. the general molecular formula is Cn H2n+1 O H
An alkanol is any simple aliphatic alcohol.
They are soluble in water as the functional group (-OH for alkanols and -COOH for alkanoic acids) make each of the molecules polar and can therefore form a bond with water.
science is used widely in brewries for different reasons which include:distillation and fractional distillation,for the making of beers which are alkanols and also for different other purposes
The general formula for linear alkanes is CnH2n+2. Where cabon atoms are joined in a chain like form.
-ol is the suffix used in IUPAC nomenclature to indicate an alcohol group, -OH. The systematic name for alcohols is alkanols. Examples are methanol, CH3OH, ethanol C2H5OH and phenol, C6H5OH. All the numbers should be subscripts.
Alcohol in itself is a substance. Most alcoholic drinks are mostly made up of water, but contain proportionally small amounts of ethanol and sometimes even smaller amounts of methanol, which are both alkanols i.e. alcohols. Alcohol itself is not a social issue. The production, sale and consumption of alcoholic drinks is a social issue, seeing as it clearly has an effect on society.
