Q

which organic molecule reacts with strong bases
what is the product?
how does it react?

A
  • carboxylic acids
  • alcohols do NOT
  • form salts and water
  • carbonate ion (CO3 2-) accepts hydrogen from COOH to become CO2 and H2O

Q

how do you make an ester (the normal way)

A

alcohol + carboxylic acid
- its REALLY slow unless you add a catalyst
- small amount of concentrated sulfuric acid (or HCl)
- heated under reflux

Q

define condensation reaction

A
  • two molecules reacting together to make a larger molecule with the elimination of a small molecule, usually water of HCl.

Q

esterification is a reversible reaction, so how do you increase the yield of ester?

A
  • add the alcohol in excess
    OR
  • distil the water off as it formed
    (the acid catalyst also absorbs some water as it formed)

16
Q

what are the physical traits of esters

A
  • they have strong sweet smells, usually floral or fruity
  • organic compounds dissolve in them
17
Q

how is an ester names

A
  • oxygen side of COO is named first AKA alcohol side
  • then carboxylic acid side AKA C side
18
Q

what a condensation polymer

A
  • polymers that are formed from condensation reaction
  • monomers must have two functional groups
19
Q

why is it harder to make esters with phenols

A
  • the OH is phenols is less reactive that the OH in alcohols
  • they need a more vigorous reactant
  • acid anhydrides are used instead of carboxylic acids
20
Q

name:
- CH3CH2NH2
- CH3CH(NH2)CH3

A
  • ethylamine
  • 2-aminopropane
21
Q

describe and explain solubility of amines

A
  • they are soluble in water
  • lone pair of electrons on nitrogen allows amine to form hydrogen bonds with water
  • amines with small alkyl groups are soluble
22
Q

why are amines with large alkyl groups insoluble

A
  • the energy needed to break the hydrogen bonds in water is more than the enthalpy change in the formation of new bonds between the alkyl group and water
