that is, if you see a second layer of insoluble organic liquid, what could the unknown be in addition to a tertiary alcohol

Secondary alcohols may also give positive findings, but much more slowly.

I'm using the Lewis classification of acids and bases, okay? It's pretty much all that works in this case. I'll try to keep it simple.\n\nIt's more acidic than water because water is neutral (it can't accept any more electrons).\n\nIt's more acidic than other alcohols because the carbon chain is the shortest here. The longer the carbon chain is, the more electrons there are, so the chance of another electron being attracted to the molecule is pretty slim. Since there's only one carbon in methanol, the electronegativity of the oxygen atom prevails and attracts electrons to itself.\n\nI hope that was clear enough. Good luck!

no, you cant.\n\nU cant even test the pH for alcohol even if it is slightly acidic compared to other organic compounds, because it's a weaker acid than water. Alcohol can dissolve in aqueous soln; they dont ionize but form network of hydrogen bonds with water molecules.\n\nIn aqueous solution, no matter how basic it is, (let's say 14, that's the best u can do) alcohol will not lose an hydrogen atom 'cause its conjugate base is a stronger base than hydroxide ions (strongest base in aqueous soln). pKa for water is 15, alcohol is 16-18.

Main article: Denatured alcohol\nIn most jurisdictions, the sale of ethanol, as a pure substance or in the form of alcoholic beverages, is heavily taxed. In order to relieve non-beverage industries of this tax burden, governments specify formulations for denatured alcohol, ethanol blended with various additives to render it unfit for human consumption. These additives, called denaturants, are generally either toxic (such as methanol) or have unpleasant tastes or odors (such as denatonium benzoate).\nSpecialty denatured alcohols are denatured alcohol formulations intended for a particular industrial use, containing denaturants chosen so as not to interfere with that use. While they are not taxed, purchasers of specialty denatured alcohols must have a government-issued permit for the particular formulation they use and must comply with other regulations.\nCompletely denatured alcohols are denatured alcohol formulations that can be purchased for any legal purpose, without permit, bond, or other regulatory compliance. It is intended that it be difficult to isolate a product fit for human consumption from completely denatured alcohol. For example, the completely denatured alcohol formulation used in the United Kingdom contains (by volume) 89.66% ethanol, 9.46% methanol, 0.50% pyridine, 0.38% naphtha, and is dyed purple with methyl violet.\n\nALDRICH CHEMICAL -- ETHYL ALCOHOL, DENATURED \nMATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

I would have to guess that it involves the neutralization reaction of more than 2 substances.\n\nJust a guess

you may be allergic to alcohol

Maybe you are allergic to the ingredients in alcohol or it could be that your body is holding in water due to the alcohol.

Is alchol or drugs involved?  sounds like their might be.  If not she may have a medical problem that needs to be addressed.

I'm not sure it's a known thing. Also it seems to be a construct like a ribosome.

For all practical purposes, if a solution is saturated (can not dissolve any more) it is full and all others will fall to the bottom, undissolved. \n\nRealistically a small (very small) amount of the other powder could dissolve if it had different enough properties.

Because it has a monocharge (e.g. compared to a zwitterion), I would expect it to be soluble in water because the water molecules could solvate it by orientated the partial positive hydrogens around it. A non-polar solvent would not have this ability.

Provided you mix the same amount of each liquid.

If you remove a molecule of water (H2O) from C2H5OH (ethanol) you are going to end up with C2H4  (Ethene).

IF substance contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts:\n  Make the part that is soluble in polar solvents i.e the part having polarity in water and rest in some nonpolar solvent.\n\nIFsubstance is purely ionic represent it as ions in water.

Once the hydroxyl group leaves the alcohol, the structure would lose its pyramidal shape and flatten into a two-dimensional shape.  The halide ion would add from either side, having a 50% chance of attaching from either side.  Once halogenated, the new molecule would again be optically active but you would have an equal abundance of both R and L enantiomers.  This follows one of the rules of stereochemistry in that optically inactive reactants (in this case HX) always yield optically inactive products.

It depends on the type of alcohol and whether its single component or multicomponent based. if it is simple and short chain alcohol (low boiling pt) by simple distillation it can be separated.  If there are mixture of alcohols and long chained then you need to convert them into ester/salt, which would ease the separation process.

Your starting material, 2,6-dimethyl-4-hexanol and your product 2,3,6-trimethyl-3-hexanol have no existence in organic chemistry.\n\nIn the second part of your question, 2-methyl-2-butanol;, a tertiary alcohol, reacts. According to the Saytzeff rule, the most highly substituted olefin results. 2-methyl-2-butene
