3.2 ALCOHOLS :-

DESCRIPTION:

In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which a hydroxyl group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl group. The general formula for a simple acyclic alcohol is CnH2n+1OH.

In general usage, alcohol refers almost always to ethanol, also known as grain alcohol, a strongly-smelling, colorless, volatile liquid formed by the fermentation of sugars.

APPLICATIONS:

Alcohols are in wide use in industry and science as reagents, solvents, and fuels. Ethanol and methanol can be made to burn more cleanly than gasoline or diesel. Because of its low toxicity and ability to dissolve non-polar substances, ethanol is often used as a solvent in medical drugs, perfumes, and vegetable essences such as vanilla.

Ethanol is commonly used in beverages to promote flavor, reduce social inhibitions, or induce a euphoric intoxication commonly known as "drunkenness" or "being drunk." The consumption of ethanol is illegal in some countries, mainly Islamic.
