Alcohol are used as fuels, as they are highly flammable, and burn with very clean flames
Alcohols are often used as solvents
Methanol, ethanol, and propanol, are miscible (soluble in) water
As the carbon atom chain length increases, solubility decreases
Alcohols contain the hydroxyl functional group (-OH)
The general formula for alcohols is: $C_nH_2n_+$ $1OH$
Alcohols are saturated compounds
