Study Notes
Redox Reactions
- Transfer of electrons is fundamental in redox reactions.
- Iron is oxidized when reacting with oxygen, forming FeO.
- Reduction refers to the gain of electrons, while oxidation refers to the loss of electrons.
- "LEO" stands for Loss of Electrons is Oxidation, and "GER" means Gain of Electrons is Reduction.
Electron Transfer and Agents
- Oxidizing agents accept electrons and are reduced; reducing agents donate electrons and are oxidized.
- Charge changes indicate whether a species is oxidized (increased positive charge) or reduced (increased negative charge).
- For example, in the reaction of zinc with copper ions, Zn is oxidized and Cu2+ is reduced.
Metabolic Reactions
- Photosynthesis (6 CO2 + 12 H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6 O2) produces oxygen and glucose; carbon in CO2 is reduced, and oxygen in H2O is oxidized.
- Cellular respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis (C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy) with glucose oxidized and oxygen reduced.
NAD+ in Metabolism
- NAD+ functions in metabolism by carrying electrons; it gets reduced to NADH during the electron transfer.
Hydrocarbon Structures
- Hydrocarbons consist of only carbon and hydrogen; naming involves the carbon chain's length and bond types.
- Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) contain only single bonds, while unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes and alkynes) include double and triple bonds respectively.
- Alkene suffix is -ene, and alkyne suffix is -yne; the prefix indicates the number of carbons (meth-, eth-, prop-, but-, etc.).
Bonding and Structural Formulas
- Each carbon must form four bonds; this can include other carbons and hydrogens.
- Extended structural formulas visually show all atoms and bonds, whereas condensed formulas simplify the representation.
- Alcohols contain hydroxyl groups (-OH) and follow specific naming conventions by replacing the ending of the alkane name with -ol.
Functional Groups
- Organic compounds contain functional groups that dictate their chemistry (alcohols, ethers, esters, etc.).
- Identifying functional groups is crucial for understanding compound properties and naming rules.
Cyclic and Aromatic Hydrocarbons
- Cyclic hydrocarbons are saturated with no carbon ends; aromatic hydrocarbons have unique properties due to their double bonds and often have a scent.
- Examples of aromatic compounds include benzene and phenol, while naphthalene consists of two fused benzene rings.
Differentiating Structures
- Isomers have identical formulas but different structures; structural formulas help to visualize variations.
- The main difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons is the presence of double or triple bonds in unsaturated types.
Summary of Hydrocarbon Classifications
- Alkanes: Single bonds, -ane suffix, saturated.
- Alkenes: Double bonds, -ene suffix, unsaturated.
- Alkynes: Triple bonds, -yne suffix, unsaturated.
Practical Applications
- Understanding redox reactions is crucial for fields like energy production and metabolic pathways.
- Knowledge of hydrocarbons and functional groups is essential for organic chemistry and related applications in synthesis, analysis, and biochemistry.### Alcohol and Hydroxyl Functional Group
- Ethane converts to ethanol (CH3CH3 → CH3CH2OH).
- Propane converts to isopropanol (CH3CH2CH3 → CH3CHOHCH3).
- Methane converts to methanol (CH4 → CH3OH).
- The hydroxyl functional group is represented as -OH.
Naming Alcohols
- To name alcohols, drop the -e from the alkane name and add -ol.
- Isopropanol has the -OH functional group on the middle carbon, while propanol has it on the end carbon.
Structural Formulas of Alcohols
- Hexanol has the formula C6H13OH.
- Propanol has the formula C3H7OH.
- Isopropanol is represented as CH3CHOHCH3.
- Ethanol is represented as CH3CH2OH.
Carbonyl Functional Group
- Carbonyls consist of a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen.
- Aldehydes are carbonyls on the end carbon, written as -CHO.
- Ketones are carbonyls on a middle carbon, with the smallest ketone being propanone, written as -CO-.
- Common aldehyde: methanal (formaldehyde), toxic when oxidized from methanol.
- Common ketone: propanone (acetone), used as a solvent.
Naming Aldehydes and Ketones
- Aldehydes use the suffix -al; ketones use -one.
- Methanal: CH4 → methan + al → CH3CHO.
- Propanone: CH3CH2CH3 → propan + one → CH3COCH3.
Structural Classification of Carbonyls
- Aldehydes are found at the chain's start or end; ketones require at least three carbons.
- Propanal (CH3CH2CHO) contains three carbons with -CHO.
- Butanone (CH3COCH2CH3) contains four carbons with -CO- in the middle.
- Butanol (CH3CHOHCH2CH3) has four carbons with -OH in the middle.
- Ethanal (CH3CHO) is named for having -CHO at the end.
Carboxylic Acids
- Formed from the oxidation of alcohols.
- Represented as -COOH, contributing to the acidic nature.
- Named by dropping the final -e from the alkane name and adding -oic acid.
- Ethanoic acid (vinegar) and butanoic acid (butter) are common examples.
Ethers and Esters
- Ethers and esters interrupt carbon chains with an oxygen atom in between.
- Formed from condensation reactions involving hydroxyl groups:
- Two alcohols create an ether.
- An alcohol and a carboxylic acid create an ester.
Condensation Reaction
- Produces water (H2O) as a by-product during bond formation.
- One hydroxyl group donates an -OH, the other group donates H.
- Resulting structure features non-continuous carbon chains.
Common Alcohols, Acids, and Esters
- Isopentanol: CH3CHOHCH2CH2CH3, an alcohol within five carbons.
- Pentanoic acid: CH3CH2CH2CH2COOH, a five-carbon chain with -COOH.
- Ethyl propanoate: CH3CH2COOCH2CH3, an ester formed from ethanol and propanoic acid.
- Pentanone: CH3COCH2CH2CH3, a five-carbon chain ketone.
- Ethyl propyl ether: CH3CH2OCH2CH2CH3, identifies two carbon chains separated by an oxygen.
Halocarbons
- Halocarbons contain halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine) attached to hydrocarbons, serving multiple applications.
- Examples:
- Trichloromethane (chloroform): CHCl3.
- Trichlorofluoromethane: CCl3F.
Naming Halocarbons
- Halogen prefixes based on quantity:
- One halogen: no prefix (e.g., fluoromethane, CH3F).
- Two halogens: "di-" (e.g., dichloropropane, CHCl2CH2CH3).
- Three halogens: "tri-" (e.g., tribromomethane, CHBr3).
- Four halogens: "tetra-" (e.g., tetrafluoromethane, CF4).
