when Hx/H2o is eliminated the major products is the alkene with the more highly substited double bond

combustion: burning in oxygen.

 

if enough oxugen then CO2 forms, if insufficient CO forms

esterification:concentrated sulphuric acid and heat

hydrolysis of esters: warm alkaline solution

then the salt can be made back into an acid by treating with a dilute acid

....

how am I going to remember that...

aldehydes and ketones are formed by alcohols which do not fully oxidise

carbonyls which undergo further further oxidation turn into carboxylic acid

wrote my last maths common test ever today

Make a song about it *nod*

If you find something that rhymes with concentrated H2SO4 or a reflux with an alkaline slution in ethanol, tell me

Private islands are cheaper than I thought they'd be...

OK people just got lazy with some of these questions

Private islands are cheaper than I thought they'd be...

Especially with the isolation and lack of easily accessible internets

ah yes, I lost a bet recently

1 in 20 odds for me to write MEMO on the top of my bio class test

 

I said 5 he said 15.

 

bugger.

Then I wrote the test (and a friend helpfully highlighted the memo part)

 

and got full marks

unfortunate for me that this test doesn't count
