Q

What are neutralisation reactions

A

a chemical reaction in which acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In a reaction in water, neutralization results in there being no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.

Q

What is a COX-2 Inhibitor?

A

DescriptionCOX-2 inhibitors are a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that directly targets cyclooxygenase-2, COX-2, an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain.

Q

What is NSAID?

A

DescriptionNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are members of a drug class that reduces pain, decreases fever, prevents blood clots, and in higher doses, decreases inflammation.

Q

What are lipids?

A

Small bio molecules that are insoluble in water. They are isolated from organisms by extraction with organic solvents. They form the major non protein component of the cell membranes

18
Q

What do intermolecular forces determine?

A

Whether a chemical solute will dissolve in a particular liquid solvent

19
Q

What is a generalised quote for solubility?

A

Like dissolves like

20
Q

When polar species dissolve in polar liquids what happens?

A

They interact with the dipoles of the solvent

21
Q

Non-polar things tend to dissolve in what?

A

Non-polar liquids

22
Q

Non-polar molecules have or don’t have permanent dipoles for polar molecules to interact with?

A

Do have

23
Q

True or False, polar organic molecules are hydrophobic water hating and don’t interact with water

A

False they are hydrophilic water loving and like to interact with water

24
Q

True or False? Non-polar molecules are hydrophobic water hating and avoid contact

A

True

25
Q

What are lipids classified by?

A

A property rather than related chemical structures

26
Q

What does the combination of a polar head group and a non-polar long chain allow?

A

The formation of complex structures that can differentiate the outside form inside

27
Q

What are the most common lipids

A

Fats and vege oils

28
Q

Animal fats are usually what at room temperature?

A

Solid

29
Q

Vegetable oils are usually what at room temperature?

A

Liquid

30
Q

What are triglycerides?

A

Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in your blood. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn’t need to use right away into triglycerides. The triglycerides are stored in your fat cells. Later, hormones release triglycerides for energy between meals.

31
Q

Lipids are mostly what?

A

Long carbon chains with little other functionality

32
Q

How is an ester linkage formed?

A

By an alcohol and an acid

33
Q

The ester bond can be ? with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide.

A

Hydrolysed

34
Q

What are saturated fats?

A

Saturated with Hydrogen. A saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds.

35
Q

What are un-saturated fats?

A

Not saturated with hydrogen. An un-saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have double bonds.

36
Q

What are monounsaturated fats?

A

Triacylglycerols with three fatty acids each having a long chain with only one double bond

37
Q

What are polyunsaturated fats?

A

Triacylglycerols with three fatty acids each having a long chain with two or more double bonds

38
Q

Do fats contain unsaturated or saturated fatty acids?

A

Saturated as their zigzag shape means it packs closely together so the fats can be solids

39
Q

Do oils contain unsaturated or saturated fatty acids?

A

Unsaturated because the double bonds in their acid chains cause kinks in the chain which means they cant be held closely together and they are liquids

40
Q

How are soaps made?

A

Hydrolysis of animal fats. Saponification

41
Q

What is the structure of soap?

A

Hydrophillic head and a hydrophobic tail
