Classes
A condensation reaction where a carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol to produce an ester and water.
What is an esterification reaction?
The longest or parent chain of carbon atoms must contain the multiple bond, and the chain is numbered from the end closest to the multiple bond.
How to name alkenes and alkynes?
What is an addition polymerization?
A reaction where monomer units join each other in a process that involves the rearranging of electrons in double or triple bonds in the monomer.
The addition of a solvent to selectively dissolve and remove a specific compound.
What is solvent extraction?
The starting point in the synthesis of thousands of products, including fuels, plastics and synthetic fibers.
What are hydrocarbons?
Sometimes called dehydration because of the apparent removal of water from the alcohol.
What is an elimination reaction?
Numbering begins with the multiple bond.
How to name cycloalkenes and cycloalkynes?
A synthetic compound that has a similar chemical structure to a naturally occurring substance.
What is a structural analog?
What are two types of cracking?
Thermal and catalytic.
Polor dissolves polar; non-polar dissolves non-polar.
What is the solubility theory?
What causes alcohols to have higher boiling points?
A hydrogen bond occurs when a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a strongly electronegative atom is attracted to a lone pair of electrons in an adjacent molecule.
CH2=CH-CH=CH2
What is the structural formula for buta-1,2-diene?
dicarboxylic acid + polyalcohol ---> polyester + water
What is a polyester?
hydrocarbon + (excess) O2(g) ---> CO2(g) + H20(g)
What is the formula for complete combustion?
As a result of this destruction, deadly UV radiation passes through our atmosphere and causes skin cancer.
What happens when CFC's react in the atmosphere to destroy ozone molecules?
Typically good solvents for organic materials such as fats, oil, waxes, gums, resins, and/or rubber.
What are organic halides?
Uses the prefixes oath-, meta-, and para- (abbreviated to o-, p- and m-) to indicate the position of the branches.
What is the alternate naming system for benzenes?
The polymer chains form a strong network of hydrogen bonds that hold adjacent chains together in a sheet-like structure.
What is a kevlar?
Produces three different carbons.
What is an incomplete combustion?
The loss of its colour when added to an organic compound is a positive test for unsaturation.
What is the Bromine Test and Baeyer Test?
Used as softeners in plastic and molding industries.
What are esters used for?
What is the structural formula for ethane-1,2-diol?
HOCH2CH2OH
Made by causing the long chains of ethylene to branch and is used to make things like plastic bags, plastic wrap, and squeeze bottles.
What is low density polyethylene (LDPE)
Makes higher quality gasoline.
What does catalytic reforming and alkylation make?
What is the formula for fermentation?
glucose --> ethanol + carbon dioxide
