    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).
