26
Q

What are the five steps in the mechanism for the reaction between an aldehyde and H⁻?

A

1.) The C=O bond is polar so the carbon is slightly positive and attracts the negative lone pair of electrons on the H⁻ ion 2.) The H⁻ ion attacks the slightly positive carbon and donates its pair of electrons forming a bond with the carbon 3.) As the carbon can only have four bonds this causes one of the carbon-oxygen bonds to break, forcing a lone pair of electrons from the C=O double bond onto the oxygen 4.) The oxygen then donates its lone pair of electrons to a H⁺ ion (which has come from from or a weak acid) 5.) And so a primary alcohol is produced

Q

How do you name hydroxynitriles?

A

The nitrile group takes priority and so you name that with the suffix -nitrile, the carbon in the nitrile group is then carbon-1, you then name the hydroxyl group with the prefix hydroxyl- along with the number of the carbon atom it comes off

Q

What are the six steps in the mechanism for when hydrogen cyanide reacts with an aldehyde or ketone?

A

1.) HCN is a weak acid so partially dissociates in water to form H⁺ ions and CN⁻ ions 2.) The C=O bond is polar so the carbon is slightly positive and attracts the negative lone pair of electrons on the CN⁻ ion 3.) The CN⁻ ion attacks the slightly positive carbon and donates its pair of electrons forming a bond with the carbon 4.) As the carbon can only have four bonds this causes one of the carbon-oxygen bonds to break, forcing a lone pair of electrons from the C=O double bond onto the oxygen 5.) The oxygen then donates its lone pair of electrons to a H⁺ ion 6.) A hydroxylnitrile is produced

Q

What is often used instead of HCN? and why?

72
Q

What is meant by unsaturated?

A

Double bonds

73
Q

What type of hydrocarbon (fatty acid) tail to fats have?

A

Saturated

74
Q

Why are fats solid at room temperature?

A

They can fit closely together increasing the van der Waals forces between them, therefore a higher temperature is needed to overcome the forces and melt them so they are solid at room temperature

75
Q

What type of hydrocarbon (fatty acid) tail to oils have?

A

Unsaturated

76
Q

What is the difference between fats and oils?

A

Oils are unsaturated and so contain double bonds where as fats are unsaturated so only contain single bonds

77
Q

Why are oils liquid at room temperature?

A

The double bonds means the chains are bent and so they don’t pack well together, decreasing the effect of the van der Waals forces, meaning they are easier to overcome and they melt at lower temperatures and so are liquid at room temperature

78
Q

What type of hydrolysis can be used to used to split fats or oils?

A

Base hydrolysis

79
Q

What do you heat fats and oils with to split them?

A

Sodium hydroxide

81
Q

What is a use of sodium salt?

A

As salt

82
Q

How can you convert a sodium salt back into a long chain carboxylic acid?

A

By adding an acid such as HCl, as the H⁺ ions displace the Na⁺ ions in the salt forming a carboxylic acid

83
Q

What is biodiesel a mixture of?

A

Methyl esters of long chain carboxylic acids

84
Q

What do you have to do with vegetable oils to produce biodiesel?

A

React them with methanol using a strong alkali as as catalyst, to produce a mixture of methyl esters which is the biodiesel and glycerol

85
Q

What is biodiesel thought to be carbon neutral?

A

When the crops grow they absorb the same amount of CO₂ as they produce when they are burnt

86
Q

Why isn’t biodiesel carbon neutral?

A

Energy is used to make fertiliser to grow the crops, during planting, during harvesting and when converting the crop into oil, this energy comes from burning fossil fuels which release carbon dioxide

102
Q

What are the two general steps during acyl chloride nucleophilic addition-elimination reactions?

A

By reacting salicylic acid with either ethanoic anhydride or ethanoyl chloride

117
Q

What is more commonly used to make aspirin: ethanoic anhydride or ethanol chloride? And why?

A

Ethanoic anhydride is used more often because it is cheaper and safer because it is less corrosive, reacts more slowly with water and doesn’t produce dangerous hydrogen chloride fumes

118
Q

What is the functional group of amides?

A

-CONH₂

119
Q

Why do amides behave differently from amines?

A

The carbonyl group pulls electron density away from the NH₂ group so they behave differently
