Organic Reaction Flashcards
Substance reacts with oxygen gas, releasing energy in the form of light and heat.
Combustion
What is the reactant and products of combustion?
Reactant: Oxygen gas and hydrocarbon
Products: Carbon dioxide and water
Combustion of butane
2C4H10+13O2 -> 8CO2+10H20
Multiple bonds can be converted into other functional groups using _____ reaction
Addition
What are the elements, compound, and functional group that can be attached to one or more bonds in a carbon?
Elements - Hydrogen, halogen
Compound - Water
Functional Group - Hydroxyl
It is when two or more molecules combined to form a larger new molecule which leads to a loss of smaller molecules such as water.
Condensation
What is the product of condensation?
Water
What can be produced when carboxylic acids are heated with alcohol in the presence of a catalyst acid?
Ester
What are the reactants and products of esterification?
Reactant: Alcohol and Carboxylic acid
Products: Ester and water
This reaction takes place when a fat, oil, or lipid is cleaved and converted into soap and alcohol, by the action of heat and with the presence of water and a base.
Saponification reaction
What are the reactants and products of saponification?
Reactant: Ester and a strong base
Products: Carboxylate (soap) and alcohol (glycerol)
What are the two ways under the saponification reaction?
Hot process and cold process
What does cleaved means?
It is an act of splitting a molecule by breaking a particular bond.
What are the two possible bases for saponification reaction?
Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide
