Q

Ketones contain

A

Two alkyl groups bonded to a carbonyl group

R2-C=O

22
Q

Carboxylic acids contain

A

Hydroxyl group bonded to a carbonyl group

R(C=O)OH
Sometimes written as RCO2H or RCOOH

23
Q

Esters contain

A

An alkoxy (OR) group bonded to a carbonyl group

R(C=O)OR’
Sometimes written as RCO2R’ or RCOOR’

24
Q

Amides contain

A

Nitrogen atom bonded to a carbonyl group

R(C=O)NR2

R group on Nitrogen may be either an alkyl group or hydrogens

25
Amides are condensation products between
Carboxylic acid and alcohol
26
Aldehydes and ketones undergo addition reactions with alcohol to form
Hemiacetals or hemiketals
27
The functional group of a hemiacetal/hemiketal is characterized by an
Ether functional group and an alcohol functional group on the same carbon
28
In the presence of excess alcohol (an an acid catalyst), aldehydes and ketones condense with two alcohol molecules to form
Acetals or ketals
29
The acetal/ketal functional group is characterized by
Two ether functional groups on the same carbon
30
Carbon based compounds exhibit
Isomerism
31
Isomers are
Different compounds that have the same molecular formula
32
Isomers can either differ in
Atom connectivity or sterochemistry
33
Hydrocarbons are used as
Fuel due to flammability
34
Alkanes are also known as
Paraffins
35
Isopropyl group is
An isomer of the propyl group
36
The principle chemical and physical properties of a compound are determined by the functional group or the carbon backbone?
Functional group
37
Cycloalkanes are
Carbon atoms that form a ring structure
38
What compound is considered saturated
Compounds that contain a double bond or rings
39
Cis isomers vs trans isomers
Cis have BOTH hydrogens on the same side of the double bond Trans have hydrogens on opposing sides of the double bond
40
Fatty acids in vegetable oils frequently contain
Double bond and are said to be unsaturated
41
Vegetable oils have a CIS or TRANS configuration
CIS configuration and therefore have LOW MELTING POINTS and are liquids at room temperature
42
Which are more stable CIS or TRANS
Trans double bonds are more stable than CIS double bonds
43
Haloalkanes, especially if ether functional groups are
The most common anesthetic agents
44
Glycerin is
Essentially non-toxic and serve as a backbone that hold fatty acids into triglycerides and is one of the main ingredients in KY jelly
45
What forms Nitroglycerin
Glycerin with Nitric and Sulfuric acids will introduce three nitric groups NO2 into they hydroxyl groups
46
Aromatic alcohols are called
Phenols
47
Why is propofol not very soluble in water
Has 12 carbon atoms *IF an R groups contains 3 or less carbon atoms they are soluble in water. Larger R groups will decrease solubility in water
48
Amines can from hydrogen bonds and
Tend to be more soluble in water
49
Oxidation gains or loses electrons
Lose Hydrogen bonds
50
Reduction gains or loses electrons
Gains Hydrogen bonds
