    This document discusses alcohols, including their general formulas, classifications as primary, secondary or tertiary alcohols, and how properties such as boiling point and solubility vary with chain length. It also covers the two main methods for producing ethanol - hydration of ethene and fermentation from sugars - and compares their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, it discusses various reactions of alcohols including oxidation, dehydration, and how to test for functional groups.
