The benzyl chloride is hydrolyzed to benzyl alcohol and sodium chloride.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structure_and_Reactions_of_Alkenes\"><\/span>Structure and Reactions of Alkenes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Alkenes are molecules that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond. The double bond consists of two pi bonds, and it is this pi bond that is responsible for the unique properties of alkenes.<\/li>\n<li>The pi bond is relatively weak, so alkenes are relatively flexible molecules. They also tend to be more reactive than other types of molecules, because the pi bond is easily disrupted. This makes alkenes useful for making new molecules. For example, alkenes can be converted into alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oligomerization\"><\/span>Oligomerization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>is the process of combining two or more monomers to form a polymer. Oligomers are molecules that are formed by the combination of two or more monomers. They are generally small molecules, and are not as large as polymers. Oligomers are often used to refer to the small molecules that are produced by the polymerization of two or more monomers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Properties\"><\/span>Properties<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The properties of a vector space over a field F are as follows:<\/li>\n<li>The zero vector is in the vector space.<\/li>\n<li>If u and v are in the vector space, then so is u + v.<\/li>\n<li>If u, v, and w are in the vector space, then so is u + v + w.<\/li>\n<li>If u is in the vector space and \u03b1 is a scalar, then \u03b1u is in the vector space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benzyl_Alcohol_is_Synthesised_for_Laboratory_Use\"><\/span>Benzyl Alcohol is Synthesised for Laboratory Use:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Benzyl alcohol can be synthesised in the laboratory by the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene with ethyl alcohol in the presence of an aluminium chloride catalyst:<\/p>\n<p>This reaction produces a mixture of products, including benzyl chloride and benzyl ether. The benzyl chloride can be distilled off to give the pure benzyl alcohol.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uses\"><\/span>Uses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The main use of magnesium sulfate is as a mineral supplement.
