Q

properties of chloroalkanes (solubility , state, forces)

A

some polarity but not enough to dissolve in water, dissolves readily in nonpolar substances (cyclohexane), most of them are liquids at room temp. whereas their corresponding alkanes are gases (van der waals forces)

Q

alcohols is to alkanes (boiling point, bonds ,solubility)

A

alcohols have higher boiling points cause of the highly polar -OH group gives rise to hydrogen bonding. it takes extra energy to break those bonds .’. have higher boiling points, solubility in water = c - c3 are infinitely soluble in water , solubility deceases with longer C chains ( acts like alkanes)

25
carbonyl group
functional group composed of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom.
26
Difference between the c--c and c--o bonds
c--o is much more polar because of the difference electronegativity values of C and O
27
influence of the carbonyl group on physical properties (bonds boiling point, forces)
not possible for compounds containing the carbonyl group to form H bonds with each other. H bonds with C however there are permanent dipole dipole interactions between the aldehyde molecules. .'. they have higher boiling points than the alkanes(dipole dipole interaction) but lower than alcohols(lack of H bonding) .
28
types of bonds in alcohols/aldehydes/alkanes
H bonding bet. molecules/ dipole dipole forces bet. molecules/ Van der waals forces bet. molecules
29
Van der waals forces
driven by induced electrical interactions bet. atoms/molecules that are close together (weakest form of intermolecular attractions)
30
sol. of methanal and water (+uses)
formalin , embalming fluid
31
aromatic aldehyde (+uses) +found
benzaldehyde , flavouring agent for cooking , found in kernels of almonds
32
ketones +gen. formula
homologous series of organic compounds containing the >C=O functional group / RCOR' (R= same/diff alkyls)
33
first 2 ketones
propanone(acetone)CH3COCH3, butanone(methyl ethyl ketone) CH3COC2H5
34
physical properties/bonds/boiling points of ketones
same as aldehydes
35
Isomer of butanal
Methylpropanal
36
Methanal (another name)
Formaldehyde
37
Structural isomer of propanone
Propanal
38
General formula for carboxylic acids
RCOOH (c=o)
39
carboxylic acids bond angle
120 *
40
naming of carboxylic acids
alkane where -e goes to -oic acid
41
carboxylic acids 1-4
methanoic acid , ethanoic acid ( concentrated vinegar), propanoic acid , butanoic acid
42
butanoic acid isomer
2 methylpropanoic acid
43
old name for methanoic acid
formic acid
44
methanoic acid , propanoic acid butanoic acid : uses
found in nettle/ant stings , inhibits the growth of mould (preservative) , used in antiseptic medicines and fungicides (ringworm)
45
how can do tracker dogs smell out people
they recognise the particular mixture of carboxylic acids produced by sweat glands of a person
46
pure ethanoic acid AKA ...
glacial acetic acid
47
boiling /melting points of carboxylic acids + solubility
due to H bonding the melting/boiling point is much higher than the alkanes/alcohols etc. [all completely soluble in water and longer chains more soluble in organic solvents]
48
general formula of Esters
RCOOR' { c = +1 , h= +2 , o = +0 }
49
Condensation reaction
a chemical reaction in which 2 molecules combine to form a larger molecule with the loss of a smaller molecule such as water ( esterification is one type of condensation reaction)
50
1 st 2 esters
methyl methanoate [C2H4O2] , methyl ethanoate [C3H6O2] , methyl propanoate [C4H8O2]
51
C3H6O2 isomers (2)
methyl ethanoate , ethyl methanoate
52
C4H8O2 isomers (3)
ethyl ethanoate , methyl propanoate , propyl methanoate
53
Esters > lower members properties
volatile liquids with pleasant fruity smells, low boiling points as it is not possible for them to form H bonds, fairly soluble in water ,
54
esters uses (4)
flavourings, solvents in varnishes etc. , used in glues , polyesters (millions of esters linked together)
55
chemical bonding in benzene imp. points
all carbon bonds are identical (single covalent) , all carbon , carbon bonds are intermediate bet. c-c and c=c bonds, 6 singly occupied p atomic orbitals overlap sideways to form a pi bonding system containing 6 delocalised electrons , c-h bonds are all identical single covalent bonds containing a shared pair of electrons , these bonds may also be described as sigma bonds formed by head on overlap of slightly - occupied atomic orbitals
56
range of aromatic compounds
narcotics = heroin/cocaine , pharmaceuticals = aspirin/ morphine , food flavourings = vanilin
57
examples of natural compounds
caffeine in tea/coffee nicotine in tobacco , opium in poppies
58
chemists can improve medicinal properties of natural products eg = ...
Felix Hoffman synthesised aspirin in 1898 , the structure was similar to the naturally occuring product but with none of the unpleasant side effects
59
principal of steam distillation
mixture of 2 immiscible liquids boils at room temp. that is below that of the boiling point of each individual liquid, the hot mixture of water vapour and oil is passed through a condenser , the distillate that is collected contains H2O and oil
60
emulsion
dispersion of small droplets of one liquid in another liquid , in which it is not soluble
61
solvent extraction/ liquid-liquid extraction
technique in which 2 immiscible liquids, are separated using a solvent in which one of the compounds of the mixture has a higher solubility than the other (organic component is removed from the emulsion by dissolving it in a organic solvent )
62
clove oil (another name )
Eugenol
