Organic Chemistry
A carbon-carbon double bond is the defining feature of this family of compounds.
What are alkenes?
This law states that matter can neither be created or destroyed
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
This method separates an insoluble solid from a liquid using filter paper
What is Filtration?
This molecular geometry is adopted by carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is linear?
This is the characteristic functional group found in alcohols.
What is a hydroxyl (-OH) group?
This Law states that Equal volumes of different gases, at the same temperature and pressure, contain an equal number of molecules
What is Avogadro’s Law?
This method forms crystals from a solution to purify solid
What is Recrystallization?
This molecular geometry is adopted by methane (CH4).
What is tetrahedral?
Ethanol and dimethyl ether share the same molecular formula but differ in structure. These compounds are an example of this phenomenon.
What are structural isomers?
This Law states that at a constant temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure
What is Boyle’s Law?
This method determines the concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration
What is titration?
This molecular geometry is adopted by water (H2O).
What is bent?
This molecular conformation, with a dihedral angle of 180°, is generally the most stable conformation of butane.
What is the anti conformation?
This Law states that the amount of light absorbed by a solution is proportional to the concentration and the path length that the light travels through.
What is Beer-Lambert Law?
This technique identifies functional groups in molecules using infrared light.
What is IR spectroscopy?
This molecular geometry is adopted by ammonia (NH3).
What is trigonal pyramidal?
In butane, this Newman projection has the highest energy and is thus the least favourable bond-arrangement.
What is the syn-eclipsed conformation?
This principle states that if a chemical equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium will shift in a direction that counteracts the change.
What is Le Chatelier's Principle?
This technique separates volatile compounds based on their interaction with a column and carrier gas.
What is Gas Chromatography?
According to VSEPR theory, this would be the molecular geometry for sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
What is octahedral?
