ABSTRACT
Alcohol is an organic compound containing the elements carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen. On the type, alcohol can be divided into 3 types based on the cluster
hidroksilnya, including no alcohol is primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.
This practicum aims to determine the types of alcohol based on the layout of the
cluster function. In this experiment, carried out in 2 methods, namely the method
of Ritter which is to test the alcohol compound in the sample, and the method of
Iodoform to identify the type of alcohol in the sample. After that, it will be
obtained the properties of the compounds of the sample based on his reaction to a
reagent.
