Q

Describe what happens in nucleophilic addition

A

lone pair on the hydride ion is attracted and donated to the partially positive carbon atom of the C=O bond. This forms a dative covalent bond

in nucleophilic addition, the C=O pie bond breaks in a heterolytic manner forming a negatively charged intermediate

the oxygen atom in C-O bond in the intermediate donates a lone pair of electrons to a hydrogen atom in a water molecule.

An alcohol is formed as a result

Q

describe a test to identify a carbonyl group in either an aldehyde and a ketone

A

add a 5cm depth of a solution of 2,4-DNP to a clean test tube
add 3 drops of the unknown compound. leave to stand

Q

how do we identify whether a carbonyl group is exactly in a certain molecule

A

the precipitate formed after adding Brady’s reagent is filtrated
then it is recrystallized
the melting point is then measured and compared with known values

Q

an aldehyde is oxidized to

A

a carboxylic acid

28
Q

if an aldehyde is present in the tollen’s reagent test, what happens

A

a silver mirror is formed

29
Q

will the tollen’s reagent be able to identify ketones and why

A

no, because ketones cannot be oxidized further

30
Q

if there are two carboxylic acids in a compound, the name changes to the corresponding alkane, with a………… added at the end

A

dioic acid

31
Q

carboxylic acids can form hydrogen bonds with two compounds, what are these

A

water and other carboxylic acids

32
Q

name the factor that decreases the solubility of carboxylic acids

A

an increase in the number of atoms in the non polar carbon chain

33
Q

what happens to the solubility of carboxylic acids as the acid group(COOH) increases

A

the solubility increases further

34
Q

carboxylic acids with up to 4 carbon atoms are all soluble in water, true or false

A

true

35
Q

are carboxylic acids strong acids?

A

no they are rather weak acids

36
Q

products formed when carboxylic acids react with metals

A

salt and hydrogen gas

36
Q

products formed when carboxylic acids react with metals

A

salt and hydrogen gas

37
Q

carboxylic acids react with metal carbonates to form

A

salt, water and carbon dioxide

38
Q

carboxylic acid derivatives

A

compounds that can be hydrolysed to form the parent carboxylic acid

39
Q

in hydrolysis, which bond breaks in a carboxylic acid derivative

A

the single bond between the carbon in the acyl group and a different group

40
Q

suffix for acyl chlorides

A

oyl chlorides

41
Q

how are acyl chlorides prepared

A

by reacting carboxylic acids with thionyl chloride

42
Q

molecular formula of thionyl chloride

A

SOCl2

43
Q

what are the products formed from the reaction of carboxylic acids with thionyl chloride

A

an acyl chloride, Sulphur dioxide and HCl gas
Both gases are toxic

44
Q

acyl chlorides are very unreactive, true or false

A

false they are very reactive

45
Q

acyl chlorides react by losing ….?

A

their chloride ion while retain the C=O bond

46
Q

nucleophile

A

an electron pair donor

47
Q

condensation reaction

A

a reaction in which two molecules react together to form a larger molecule with the elimination of a small molecule

48
Q

acyl chlorides react with alcohols or phenols to form

A

an ester and HCl

49
Q

acyl chlorides react with water to form

A

an carboxylic acid and HCl

50
Q

why should the reaction between acyl chlorides and water be carried out under anhydrous conditions

A

because if not, the acyl chloride will react violently with water to form the carboxylic acid

51
Q

acyl chlorides react with ammonia to form

Primary amide

52
Q

acyl chlorides react with amines to form

A

a secondary amide

53
Q

how are acid anhydrides formed

A

from the condensation reaction between two molecules of carboxylic acid

54
Q

which is more reactive, an acyl chloride, or an acid anhydride

acyl chlorides

therefore acid anhydrides are more likely to be used in lab preparations while acyl chlorides might be too reactive

acid anhydrides react with alcohols to form

A

an ester and a carboxylic acid

56
Q

functional group of esters

A

RCOOR

R stands for a carbon group

57
Q

esters are named from backwards to forwards, true or false

A

true

58
Q

esterification

A

the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol to form an ester and water

59
Q

can carboxylic acids react with phenols to form esters

A

no they cannot, because they are not reactive enough to do so.
instead acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides are used

60
Q

do esters react with acyl chlorides

A

no

61
Q

acid hydrolysis of esters is the reverse of

A

esterification

62
Q

in acid hydrolysis, the ester is heated under ……………… with ……………………..
