Student Learning Outcomes:

• Determine the name of alcohols given their chemical formula or molecular structure using IUPAC rules.
• Classify alcohols as primary, secondary, or tertiary, given their structure or name.
  
• Identify an alcohol as primary, secondary, or tertiary, given its structure, IUPAC name, or common name.
  
• Break down the factors that determine the acidity of alcohols and phenols.
  
• Explain why the boiling points of alcohols and phenols are much higher than alkanes and ethers of similar molecular mass.
  
• Explain, in terms of inductive and resonance effects, why a given substituted phenol is more or less acidic than the phenol itself.
  
• Explain the difference in acidity between two given alcohols or phenols.
