F335 Key Points Flashcards
Nitrous oxide gas, N2O, is formed in the soil by denitrifying bacteria.
Give the systematic name for nitrous oxide.
N2O
Dinitrogen oxide
Nitrogen(I) oxide
Dinitrogen monoxide
A N/O dative bond model
N2O
N =(triple)N –>O
Linear
Suggest the reason why denitrification is a problem for crop production
Nitrogen in compounds or nitrates is less available to plants/crops
Is needed by plants crops
Makes plants/crops grow.
Is a fertiliser.
Why is nitrous oxide soluble in fat(propane-1,2,3-triol) in terms of imb?
Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole for compounds, between compounds
Pd-Pd for compounds, between compounds
Intermolecular bonds are similar
IMB formed are similar to those broken
Atom economy
Atom economy = mr useful products/mr reactants
Tertiary alcohol
Carbon with OH is attached to three other carbons
No hydrogens
Primary and secondary alcohols are readily acidified by potassium dichromate
But an-2-ol with acidified potassium dichromate (VI)
From orange to green
Name of product: butone
(CH3)3COH
2 methyl Propan-2-ol
2 methyl Propan-2-ol has a lower boiling point than Butan-1-ol
Idid
Imb are weaker
Less energy required to break imb
Molecules, chains. Can’t get as close together, less areas of contact.
Suggest why it is important that the energy for this reaction comes from the Sun rather than burning fossil fuels.
The energy source must not produce Carbon dioxide, CO2.
Fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide
NMR splitting
Number of peaks is one Maori than the number of protons on the adjacent Carbon
NMR number of peaks (excluding splitting)
The number of printing environments
CH3(-C) NMR peak ( next to quartet)
0.7-1.6
O-CH2
NMR peak next to triplet
3.3-4.8
Triplet
For hydrogens on C next to CH2
Quartet
For hydrogens on C next to CH3
Kc
2CO2 –> 2CO + O2
Kc=[products]^mol / [reactants]^mol
Kc = [CO]^2 [O2]/[CO2]^2
Disadvantage of using this method of carbon capture
CO2+Ca(OH)2–>CaCO3 + H2O
Uses a lot of Ca(OH)2
CO2 is emitted in manufacture of Ca(OH)2
CO2+Ca(OH)2–>CaCO3 + H2O
Acid base reaction
Not precipitation
Mr of benzene from mass spec
It will be the value of the highest mass peak
The molecular ion peak
Peak furthest to the right
CH2=CH-C=(triple) -CH=CH2
Benzene does not react with HBr
Casts doubt on model
Alkene groups react with HBr
They undergo addition reaction
Kekulé accounts for some but not all electron diffraction data
Accounts for
Bond angle being the same/120
Three bonds
Does not account for
Bond lengths equal
But under kekulé model, Single bonds are longer than double bonds, so unequal
Explain the meaning of the circle in benzene
Delocalised electrons
One electron from each Carbon
Two rings above and below Carbon ring
Interaction formed in hydration of ions in a solution
Ion-dipole
Proton NMR spectrum of benzene
Chemical shift range
Number of peaks
6.4 -8.2ppm
One peak
Systematic name C6H5Br
Bromobenzene
Compounds contains several benzene rings are used as dyes
Electron is excited as a result of light energy/photons
Frequency absorbed depends on energy change
/\E= hv
Dyes/ coloured compounds absorb light in the visible spectrum
Energy levels are closer
More delocalisation
More conjugation
More than one benzene ting
Larger chromosphere
Frequency of UV light is greater than visible
Dues transmit the complementary colour
C6H6Br2 –>C6H5Br + HBr
The reaction is electrophilic substition
Define electrophilic and describe behaviour
Electrophile is a partially positively charged electron deficient species
Electrophilic accepts a pair of elections and forms a covalent bond.
Bromine molecules is polarised and forms dela positive Bromine
Positive end attacks - is the electrophile
Suggest how trimetrexate inhibits the enz but not itself easily hydrogenated
Inhibits enzyme
It fits into the active site
Blocks the site - prevents substrate from binding
Trimetrexate has an arene ring - is aromatic
It dies not have C=N, double bond, alkene
Trimetrexate synthesis
Place a methyl group on an aromatic ring
Benzene to methylbenzene
Reagents and conditions
CH3Cl - chloromethane
AlCl3 - aluminium chloride
Reflux or anhydrous conditions or ionic solvent
Ionisation of weak acid, HA, in water
HA H+ + A-
HA is conjugate acid
A- is conjugate base
Oxonian version of weak acid, HA, ionisation
HA + H2O H3O+ + A-
Acidity constant, Ka for HAH+ + A-
Ka = [H+] [A-] / [HA]
Ka to pKa
Ka x - log
pH
[H+] x -log
Weak acid calculation inaccuracies
Approximations made
Concentration of acid at equilibrium = concentration of acid initially
[H+] compared with [HA] is not negligible
- 1 M HA
- 24 x 10^-2 M H+
Weak acid in blood stream
[A-]/[HA]
= Ka/[H+]
HCO3-
Hydrogencarbonate(IV)
pH of blood is buffered when a small amount of acid is added
[H+] increases so equilibrium position moves to left to form more CO2
Excess CO2 and HCO3- formed pH virtually unchanged.
pH is virtually unchanged
Sum of Enthalpy changes of hydration
Lattice Enthalpy -/+ Enthalpy Change Solution
Pharmacophore
The part of the molecule either binds to a receptor/active site
is responsible for the medicinal, pharmacological action - acts as the drug.
Statins inhibit a reaction in the body’s synthesis of cholesterol. This reaction is enzyme catalyses. Suggest how the reaction is inhibited.
Statin bonds to active site of enzyme
Blocking active site, enzymes, receptor
Substrate cannot bind
Statin binds more strongly
Fewer active sites
Reduces enzymes activity
