1-octanol is an alcohol, so it has an OH group attached to the first C atom. (C8H17OH)

1-octene is an alkene, which has a double bond between the first and second C atoms. (C8H16)

What is the product when 2-octene reacts with sulfuric acid?

Assuming there is water present, I would expect the product to be a (roughly equal) mixture of 2-octanol and 3-octanol.


What could you distinguish octanol from 1-octene by a simple chemical test?

Refer to functional groups. Anything with the suffix -ol will be an alcohol, a OH. Anything ending with the suffix -ene will have an alkene, a C-C double bond. Therefore 1-octanol has an alcohol and 1-octene has a C-C double bond.


How do you distinguish toluene from 1-octene?

Bromine in CCl4 is instantly decolorized by 1-octene, because it adds to the double bond, giving 1,2-dibromooctane. Toluene does not give this test because it is aromatic and thus does not add halogens.

Is the boiling point of 1-hexene higher or lower than 1-octene?

The boiling point of 1-hexene is 63 0C.The boiling point of 1-octene is 121 0C.


What pairs of compounds would be most easily separated by thin layer chromatography n-octyl alcohol and 1-octene hexadecane and octadecane?

n-octyl alcohol and 1-octene due to the large difference in the polarity between the two.


How many moles of H2 gas should be taken up by 1-octene when 1-octene is changed to n-octane by catalytic hydrogenation?

You need to know how much 1-octene you are starting with. In my lab it was 120 microliters. Change it to liters by dividing by 1000 to make milliliters (mL). I then multiplied by .72 (the density; g/cm3), divided by 112.22 (molecular weight; g/mol). (0.120 mL Octene) x (.72g/cm3) x (1 cm3/1 mL)x (1 mol /112.22 g) x (1 mole H2/1 mole octene). . :)


What is the equation for 1-octene and h2so4?

The equation for the reaction of 1-octene with sulfuric acid is as follows: H2CCHCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 + H2SO4 ----> CH3CCHOSO2OHCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3. This is otherwise known as octyl hydrogensulphate. The major product is markovnikov.


Is octanol soluble in water?

no it isn't. Since the molecule has over 7 carbon atoms it will not dissolve. Also, the Solubility of octanol is really small.
