  • Organic Reactions
    Chemical reactions involving organic compounds
  • Substitution - REPLACEMENT of one kind of atom or group with another atom or group. (only happens with alkANEs- SINGLE BONDS)
  • Answer: Substitution
    A) Bromobutane
    B) Hydrogen bromide
    C) C4H9Br +HBr
    D) Bromobutane
  • Addition - adding one or more group at a DOUBLE or TRIPLE bond. (only happens with alkENEs &alkYNEs - double/triple bonds)
  • In Adding, when double bond is broken it becomes a single bond.
  • ADDITION
    alkene + halogen = Alkyl Halide
    The double bond is broken, and the halogen adds at either side of where the double bond was.
  • Fermentation - is an anaerobic process in which energy can be released from glucose even if oxygen is not available.
  • FERMENTATION
    A) Glucose
    B) ethanol
    C) Carbon Dioxide
  • Esterification - process of combining an organic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (ROH) to form an ester (RCOOR) and water; or a chemical reaction resulting in the formation of at least one ester product.
  • Process of Esterification:
    Reactant - COOH + OH
    Product - COO + H2O
    A) Organic Acid
    B) Alcohol
    C) Este
    D) Ester
    E) Water
  • ESTERIFICATION PROCESS:
    These are slow reversible reactions and similar to neutralization rxn in inorganic.
    Acid + base = salt + water
  • Saponification – is the hydrolysis of fats by bases. The breaking of an ester to produce an organic acid plus an alcohol.
  • SAPONIFICATION PROCESS:
    Reactants- Fat + Water (glycerol ester + water)
    Product - Organic Acid + glycerol (soap + alcohol)
    A) glycerol ester
    B) fat
    C) water
    D) soap
    E) organic acid
    F) alcohol
    G) glycerol
  • Reverse process of saponification?
    Esterification
  • Reverse process of esterification?
    Saponification
  • POLYMERS:
    Large molecules made by bonding (chemically linking) a series of building blocks.
  • The word polymer comes from the Greek words for “many parts.” Each of those parts is scientists call a monomer (which in Greek means “one part”).
  • Polymers- are composed of many repeating units of monomers
  • 2 types of Polymers:
    • Natural polymers -starch (long chains of sugars), proteins (long chains of amino acids), cellulose (made of repeating units of sugar).
    • Synthetic (man made) polymers: - nylon, rayon & polyester.
  • Polymerization- formation of polymers from monomers. Formation of larger molecules from smaller ones.
  • 2 methods of Polymerization:
    Condensation
    Addition
  • Condensation polymerization: bonding of monomers by dehydration synthesis. Monomers have at least two functional groups
  • Addition polymerization: process of repeated addition of monomers that possess double or triple bonds to form polymers.
  • Biological Macromolecules
    Large, organic molecules for energy, protection, balance, physiology, & instruction. Lipids, Carbohydrates, Nucleic Acid & Proteins.
    Ingredients of life.
  • Lipids or Fats:Energy, insulation, protection & homeostasis.
    • Composed of C, H, O
    Insoluble in H2O
  • • Classification of Lipids:
    1. Triglyceride
    2. Phospholipid
    3. Wax
    4. Steroid
  • Lipids CAN be:
    Saturated: The bonds between all the carbons are single bonds. Solid at room temperature Mainly animal fats (bacon grease, lard) (UNHEALTHY)
    Unsaturated: There is at least one double or triple bond between carbons present.
    • Liquid at room temperature
    • Mainly plant based fats (olive oil, peanut oil) as well as oily fish (Tuna, Sardines)(HEALTHY)
  • Roles of Lipids:
    An efficient way to store energy for longer periods. Fat-soluble vitamins associated with fats are effectively absorbed.
  • Source of Lipids: Eggs, Avocado, Nuts and Olive Oil
  • CARBOHYDRATES
    • The primary source of energy.
    • Composed of C, H, O
    • AKA Saccharide
  • Classifications of CARBOHYDRATES or Saccharide
    1.Monosaccharide: Glucose, Galactose, Fructose
    2. Disaccharide: Maltose, Sucrose, Lactose
    3. Polysaccharides: Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose
  • NUCLEIC ACID
    • Expression of genetic info.
    • Found in the nucleus of cell.
    • Composed of C-H-O-N-P
  • Classifications of Nucleic Acid:
    Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA): A-T: G-C
    Ribonucleic acid (RNA): A-U: G-C
  • PROTEINS
    • Energy, Structure, hormones, enzymes and protection.
    • Composed of C-H-O-N-S
  • Classification of PROTEINS
    1.Keratin - Hair & Nails
    2. Fibroin - Strongest fibers
    3. Collagen - Connective tissues
    4. Enzymes - Catalyst, Lipase, Pepsin, Sucrase
  • Sources of Proteins: Eggs, Almonds, Chicken, Oats, Fish, Yogurt and Bean
  • INTERMOLECULAR FORCES OF ATTRACTION
    Are attractive forces between molecules.
  • Types of IMFA:
    1.Ion-Ion
    2. Ion-Dipole
    3. H-Bond
    4. Dipole-Dipole
    5. Dipole-Induced Dipole
    6. London Dispersion
  • Strongest IMFA: Ion-Ion
    Weakest IMFA: London Dispersion
  • It is an IMFA between two ionic compounds?
