combustion is what kind of process
a chemical process
combustion is a CHEMICAL process through which the CHEMICAL energy stored in the
reactants’ molecular bonds is released by creating new bonds w/ less energy
energy released from combustion is transformed into
thermal and kinetic energy
in a combustion engine, chemical energy is….
converted to thermal and kinetic energy
what are a broad class of lipids that are comprised of isoprene units?
terpes
terpenes are
natural lipid products dervied from the five-carbon isoprene unit building block
features of terpenes
total number of carbons in multiples of 5
carbon skeleton that reflects scaffold of an isoprene unit
isoprenes are composed of
four carbon linear chain with a one-carbon branch
covalent sigma bonds are made by
sharing electrons through end-to-end overlap of atomic orbitals
length of a sigma bond can be estimated as the
sum of the atomic radii of the bonded atoms
atomic radii tend to decrease
across a row
atomic radii increase
down a column on the PT
metal-nonmetal bonds tend to be
IONIC
nonmetal-nonmetal bonds tend to be
COVALENT
atoms with a large difference in electronegativity form
IONIC BONDS (usually metal + nonmetal)
atoms with a small difference in electronegativity form
covalent bonds (two nonmetals)
high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) does what?
separates molecules according to relative polarity and the resulting diff interactions w/ mobile + stationary phases
in reversed-phase HPLC, mobile phase and stationary phase are what
mobile - polar solvent
stationary - nonpolar material
HPLC is a technique where
liquid solvent (mobile) is under pressure and carries a sample sample through column filled with adsorbent material (stationary) to a detector
extraction is a technique that uses
an organic solvent and an aqueous solution to separate molecules based on solubility
