Study Notes
pH and Hydronium Relation
- pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydronium ion (H3O+) concentration.
- pH is measured in molarity units.
Relationship Between Hydroxide and Hydronium
- Hydroxide (OH-) and hydronium (H3O+) ions are inversely related.
- As H3O+ concentration increases, OH- concentration decreases.
Buffer Solutions
- Buffers resist changes in pH when small amounts of acids or bases are added.
- Addition of acid to water causes a decrease in pH.
- Addition of base to water results in an increase in pH.
Buffer Behavior
- Adding acid to a buffer slightly decreases its pH.
- Adding base to a buffer slightly increases its pH.
- Non-buffered solutions, like water and NaCl, exhibit the greatest pH changes.
Treatment of Acidotic Blood
- An acidotic blood pH of 7.3 can be treated with sodium hydrogen carbonate, a basic solution.
- This treatment neutralizes the acidic blood, bringing pH closer to normal.
Neutralization and Titration
- Neutralization involves H+ ions from an acid combining with OH- ions from a base to form water (H2O).
- Titration consists of adding a specific amount of base to an acid to achieve neutralization.
Indicators in Titration
- Indicators change color at the endpoint of a titration, signaling when an acid has been neutralized.
Functional Groups of Alcohols and Phenols
- The hydroxyl group (OH-) is the defining feature of alcohols and phenols.
- Alcohols with 4 carbons or fewer are soluble in water due to their polar nature.
Identification of Alcohol Types
- A solution with a pH of 5 indicates a phenol, which can form weak acids in water.
Chemical Properties and Tests
- Propanal is soluble and orange in color.
- Compounds reacting positively with Benedict's reagent are aldehydes; those forming yellow solids in iodoform tests are methyl ketones.
Distinguishing Carbohydrates
- Iodoform tests can differentiate between 2-pentanone and 3-pentanone.
- Amylose consists of a continuous chain of glucose, while amylopectin has multiple branches.
Hydrolysis of Carbohydrates
- Complete hydrolysis of amylose yields glucose.
- Amylose and cellulose differ in linkage: amylose uses alpha-1,4 bonds, while cellulose uses beta-1,4 bonds.
Reduction Tests
- Glucose or galactose oxidizes to carboxylic acids when Cu+2 in Benedict's reagent is reduced.
- Fructose reacts rapidly with Seliwanoff's reagent because it is a ketone.
Fermentation and Sugar Types
- Not all disaccharides ferment due to the absence of specific enzymes.
- Iodine tests: amylose gives deep blue, while glycogen gives reddish-purple.
Reducing Sugars
- Reducing sugars include glucose, fructose, and lactose.
Chemical Tests Outcomes
- Sucrose forms a reddish-orange solid with Benedict's and shows little color change with iodine.
- Lactose exhibits specific color changes in both tests indicating hydrolysis results.
Functional Groups in Amines and Amides
- Amines contain an ammonia (NH3) group with hydrocarbon replacements.
- Amides are formed from carboxylic acids linked to amines.
Hydrolysis of Amides
- Acid hydrolysis of amides produces carboxylic acids and ammonium salts.
- Base hydrolysis yields the salt of a carboxylic acid and ammonia.
Amines Characteristics
- Neo-Synephrine and methamphetamine are secondary amines.
- Amines typically have a "fishy" smell due to their structure.
Basicity of Amines
- Amines are considered basic because they can accept protons.
Distinguishing Organic Compounds
- Use litmus paper for identification: carboxylic acids turn it red, while amines turn it blue.
- Aromas can also aid in identifying compounds; esters have pleasant smells, unlike amines.
