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
Q

carbonyl group

A

functional group composed of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom.

26
Q

Difference between the c–c and c–o bonds

A

c–o is much more polar because of the difference electronegativity values of C and O

27
Q

influence of the carbonyl group on physical properties (bonds boiling point, forces)

A

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
Q

types of bonds in alcohols/aldehydes/alkanes

A

H bonding bet. molecules/ dipole dipole forces bet. molecules/ Van der waals forces bet. molecules

29
Q

Van der waals forces

A

driven by induced electrical interactions bet. atoms/molecules that are close together (weakest form of intermolecular attractions)

30
Q

sol. of methanal and water (+uses)

A

formalin , embalming fluid

31
Q

aromatic aldehyde (+uses) +found

A

benzaldehyde , flavouring agent for cooking , found in kernels of almonds

32
Q

ketones +gen. formula

A

homologous series of organic compounds containing the >C=O functional group / RCOR’ (R= same/diff alkyls)

33
Q

first 2 ketones

A

propanone(acetone)CH3COCH3, butanone(methyl ethyl ketone) CH3COC2H5

34
Q

physical properties/bonds/boiling points of ketones

A

same as aldehydes

35
Q

Isomer of butanal

A

Methylpropanal

36
Q

Methanal (another name)

Formaldehyde

37
Q

Structural isomer of propanone

A

Propanal

38
Q

General formula for carboxylic acids

A

RCOOH (c=o)

39
Q

carboxylic acids bond angle

A

120 *

40
Q

naming of carboxylic acids

A

alkane where -e goes to -oic acid

41
Q

carboxylic acids 1-4

A

methanoic acid , ethanoic acid ( concentrated vinegar), propanoic acid , butanoic acid

42
Q

butanoic acid isomer

A

2 methylpropanoic acid

43
Q

old name for methanoic acid

A

formic acid

44
Q

methanoic acid , propanoic acid butanoic acid : uses

A

found in nettle/ant stings , inhibits the growth of mould (preservative) , used in antiseptic medicines and fungicides (ringworm)

45
Q

how can do tracker dogs smell out people

A

they recognise the particular mixture of carboxylic acids produced by sweat glands of a person

46
Q

pure ethanoic acid AKA …

A

glacial acetic acid

47
Q

boiling /melting points of carboxylic acids + solubility

A

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
Q

general formula of Esters

A

RCOOR’ { c = +1 , h= +2 , o = +0 }

49
Q

Condensation reaction

A

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
Q

1 st 2 esters

A

methyl methanoate [C2H4O2] , methyl ethanoate [C3H6O2] , methyl propanoate [C4H8O2]

methyl ethanoate , ethyl methanoate

52
Q

C4H8O2 isomers (3)

A

ethyl ethanoate , methyl propanoate , propyl methanoate

53
Q

Esters > lower members properties

A

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
Q

esters uses (4)

A

flavourings, solvents in varnishes etc. , used in glues , polyesters (millions of esters linked together)

55
Q

chemical bonding in benzene imp. points

A

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
Q

range of aromatic compounds

A

narcotics = heroin/cocaine , pharmaceuticals = aspirin/ morphine , food flavourings = vanilin

57
Q

examples of natural compounds

A

caffeine in tea/coffee nicotine in tobacco , opium in poppies

58
Q

chemists can improve medicinal properties of natural products eg = …

A

Felix Hoffman synthesised aspirin in 1898 , the structure was similar to the naturally occuring product but with none of the unpleasant side effects

59
Q

principal of steam distillation

A

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
Q

emulsion

A

dispersion of small droplets of one liquid in another liquid , in which it is not soluble

61
Q

solvent extraction/ liquid-liquid extraction

A

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
Q

clove oil (another name )

A

Eugenol
