This is a question both easy and problematic to answer.


Bakelite is comprised of phenol (C6H5OH - yes, it has double bonds) and formaldehyde (CH2O). They mix them together, heat them up and out pops a powder that can be formed into all sorts of useful and decorative goods.

The problem is stating the molecular weight of the product. There are a lot of ways to make this stuff, and all of them produce a compound with a different molecular weight.

Is ethanol primary or secondary alcohol?

In order to be a secondary alcohol, the carbon with the alcohol moiety must be bonded to two other carbons. There are only two carbons total in ethanol, so it cannot possibly be a secondary alcohol. The smallest/lowest molecular weight secondary alcohol is cyclopropanol, which has three carbons: one for the alcohol group, and two others for it to be bonded to.
