An aldol condensation
results in a new carbon–carbon bond and an α,β–unsaturated enone.

the more stable product will predominate
101
Lactonization
the intramolecular reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid that creates a cyclic ester (lactone). Lactonization can be classified as both a dehydration reaction and a condensation reaction, as a molecule of water is lost when the two functional groups combine to form a lactone. Lactonizations that result in the formation of five- or six-membered rings are especially favorable.
102

an intramolecular condensation reaction between an amine and a carboxylic acid that forms a cyclic amide (lactam).
104

results in the preferential formation of a stereoisomer. For example, a reaction that prefers either a cis or trans outcome would be stereoselective.
105

110
Energy stored in a capacitor
U= 1/2 C V^2
111
voltmeter
measures the voltage V between two points in an electric circuit. To measure V across a resistor, the voltmeter is connected in parallel with the resistor because circuit elements connected in parallel have the same V. By Ohm's law, the resistor's V equals the product of the current I and the resistance R: V=IR should behave like an open circuit (ie, have a very large resistance) to ensure accurate voltage measurements
112

depends on Coulomb's constant k and the distance r from q, according to the equation: E= kq / (r^2)
113
Keq and ∆G
an equilibrium constant (Keq) > 1 corresponds to a negative ∆G. This makes logical sense, since Keq > 1 indicates that the reaction favors the products, while ∆G < 0 tells us that the reaction is spontaneous as written

117
as the surface area of molecules increases,
so does the strength of intermolecular forces between molecules.
118
Peptide bond formation
occurs as the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom on the amine attacks, and the amine adds to the carbonyl carbon, making it a nucleophilic acyl substitution. In the process of bond formation, the hydroxyl group of the carboxylic acid leaves as a water molecule. Therefore, this is a condensation reaction
119

123
the refractive index (n) of a given material is defined as
n = c/vmaterial This value is 1 for a vacuum and is approximated as 1 for air. For all other materials, n is greater than 1; for instance, window glass has a refractive index of 1.52.
124
Snell’s law
n1sin(θ1) = n2sin(θ2)
125
when light moves into a medium with a smaller index of refraction (that is, when n2 < n1).
(Ex. moving from water to air) the angle θ with the normal will increase—in other words, the ray of light will bend further away from the normal.
126
critical angle
As the angle of the incident ray (θ1) increases, there will come a point where the angle of the refracted ray (θ2) reaches 90° When angle increases beyond critical angle, the light can no longer refract at all and instead are reflected within the original medium (total internal reflection)
127
Ksp
solubility product constant equilibrium constant for a solid substance dissolving in an aqueous solution more soluble= higher Ksp value
128
getting molar solubility from Ksp

will NOT change from changes in concentration (though concentration may affect whether a precipitate forms) will only change by changing temperature
130

167
Imines
are composed of a carbon-nitrogen double bond with either a hydrogen atom or an R group attached to the nitrogen atom.
168
amide
a carboxylic acid derivative with a carbonyl carbon atom bonded to an amine group, as opposed to a hydroxyl group.
169
Enamines
functional groups that contain an amine group bonded to an alkene. Many imines can be converted to enamines through tautomerization.
170
imide
a functional group with a nitrogen atom bound to two acyl groups (ie, two carbonyl carbon atoms). Imides are structurally similar to acid anhydrides but include bonds with the acyl groups instead of oxygen atoms.
171
titration
To visually detect when a titration is complete, an indicator that has an endpoint (color change) near the pH of the equivalence point can be added to the solution. Different indicators change color across a particular pH range (endpoint range). The best indicator for a given titration is one that has a pH range that corresponds most closely to the pH of the equivalence point.
172
good leaving groups
The halogens are generally good leaving groups because they can form stable anions. Larger halogens are better leaving groups than small halogens because they can spread the negative charge over a larger surface area.
173
Acids in reactions
Acids catalyze many reactions by donating protons to a reactant. Protonation enhances electrophiles and increases the stability of leaving groups. Acids generally decrease the nucleophilicity of molecules.
174
Gabriel Synthesis
The Gabriel synthesis is a method used to make primary amines, including α-amino acids with potassium phthalimide and diethyl bromomalonate, (starting materials that have planar reaction sites without chiral centers). postassium phtalimide acts as a nucleophile and attacks electrophilic C of diethyl bromomalonate in an SN2 reaction where Br leaves. Then, in another SN2 reaction, the α-carbon is deprotonated with a base and attacks an alkyl halide to add the amino acid side chain.Hydrolysis of the phthalimide group and the esters on the α-carbon is followed by acidification of the carboxyl groups and decarboxylation, yielding an amino acid. Although the decarboxylation step creates a stereocenter, this step is not stereospecific and causes the Gabriel synthesis to yield a mixture of enantiomers (R and S aas).
175
Resolving Agent
creates a mixture of diastereomers
176
Chiral column Chromatography
Uses a chiral stationary phase that interacts more strongly with one enantiomer while the other moves more quickly through the column
177
Vacuum distillation
performed under reduced system pressure, thereby lowering a compound's boiling point. Compounds with high boiling points (>150 °C) tend to decompose at or near their boiling point. Therefore, vacuum distillation is ideal for compounds with a boiling point over 150 °C to prevent degradation
178
Fractional distillation
ideal for compounds with boiling points less than 25°C apart and less than 150°C the initial distillate will be enriched in the lowest boiling point that was placed in the flask. highest boiling point will be in the final fractions
179
Simple distillation
if the components have widely different boiling points (greater than a 100 °C difference in boiling points).Aug 11, 2020
180
Gas-liquid chromatography
a technique that separates compounds based on boiling point. Compounds with lower boiling points have shorter retention times than compounds with higher boiling points. For compounds with a similar number of carbon atoms, the boiling point depends on the functional group and the strength of intermolecular forces present. branching (decreases surface area and increases steric hinderance) decreases the boiling point
181
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
separates molecules according to their relative polarity and the resulting interactions with the mobile and stationary phases. nonpolar compounds elute faster than polar (nonpolar compounds have a shorter retention time, and polar compounds have a longer retention time.) think of "like dissolves like" principle; nonpolar compounds more closely interact with nonpolar, vice versa on a chromatogram, the area under the curve is proportional to the quantity of material present In reversed-phase HPLC, the mobile phase is a polar solvent and the stationary phase is made of a nonpolar material. (polar molecules will move up the most) the stationary phase is polar relative to the mobile phase. Molecules with more polar bonds have a greater affinity for the stationary phase, and thus have a longer retention time than molecules with fewer polar bonds
182
Extraction
a technique that uses an organic solvent and an aqueous solution to separate molecules based on solubility. Molecules have a greater affinity for solvents with similar polarity ("like dissolves like"). Modifying a molecule's charge or polarity changes its affinity for the organic or aqueous layer.
183
Exothermic/Endothermic
An endothermic reaction has a positive ΔH° and absorbs heat from the surroundings An exothermic reaction has a negative ΔH° and releases heat into the surroundings.
184
Is the reaction spontaneous? (S and H)
When ΔS° is positive and ΔH° is negative (ie, an exothermic reaction), the process is always spontaneous (−ΔG°). When ΔS° is negative and ΔH° is positive (ie, an endothermic reaction), the process is nonspontaneous (+ΔG°) at any temperature. When both ΔS° and ΔH° are negative, the process is spontaneous (−ΔG°) at low temperatures and nonspontaneous (+ΔG°) at high temperatures. When both ΔS° and ΔH° are positive, the process is spontaneous (−ΔG°) at high temperatures and nonspontaneous (+ΔG°) at low temperatures.

liquid-liquid extraction
a lab technique to separate materials based on differences in solubility. Liquid-liquid extraction requires liquids that are not soluble in one another (immiscible) and form two distinct layers when placed in a container. Extraction liquids typically have different polarities, and dissolved solute(s) partition between the two layers based on the principle of "like dissolves like."

Aqueous phase: polar layer, usually water Organic phase: nonpolar layer Separatory Funnel: equipment used to isolate the two phases after they have been given time to spread out again. Denser layer sink to the bottom due to gravity, and can be removed. More common for organic layer to be on top, but ultimately depends on density. Once the desired product has been isolated, it can be obtained by evaporating the solvent by using a rotary evaporator. Wash: reverse of the extraction process in order to remove unwanted impurities. Small amount of solute is used to extract and remove impurities

IUPAC Naming
1. Identify the Longest Carbon Chain Containing the Highest-Order Functional Group The highest priority functional group (with the most oxidized carbon) will provide the suffix If there are two or more carbon chains of equal length, then the more substituted chain gets priority as the parent chain. 2. Number the Chain The carbon numbered one will be the one closest to the highest-priority functional group. If the functional groups all have the same priority, numbering the chain should make the number of the substituted carbons as low as possible The more oxidized a carbon is, the higher priority it has in the molecule. Oxidation state increases with more bonds to heteroatoms (atoms beside hydrogen and carbon) and decreases with more bonds to hydrogen. For rings, numbers start at the point of greatest substitution, and continues in that direction If there is a tie between assigning priority in a molecule with double and triple bonds, the double bond takes precedence. 3. Name the Substituents Substituents are functional groups that are not part of the parent chain. Substituents name will be placed at the beginning of the compound name as a prefix, followed by the name of the longest chain. Only the highest priority functional group will determine the suffix for the compound Carbon chain substituents are named like alkanes, with suffix –yl replacing –ane n- prefix indicates that it is normal or is a straight chain alkane. If there are multiple substituents of the same type, prefixes such as di-, tri- & tetra- are used. 4. Assign a Number to Each Substituent Pair the substituents that you have named to the corresponding number in the parent chain Multiple substituents of the same type will get both the required prefix and a carbon number designation, even if they are on the same number 5. Complete the Name Always begins with the names of the substituents in alphabetical order, and each substituent is preceded by its number. Numbers are separated by commas, and word with hyphens Name is finished with the name of the parent chain with the suffix being the functional group of the highest priority.

Dielectric Materials
Similar to insulation; will always INCREASE capacitance when placed between the plates, never decreases capacitance Q=CV For an isolated and charged capacitor, Q is constant because there's no battery source that can add any further charge. Since C increases with dielectric, V must decrease. For a charging capacitor, V is constant and equal to the voltage of the battery source. Since C increases with the dielectric, Q must increase. Dielectrics are a class of polarizable materials in which electric dipoles can be induced. When a dielectric material is inserted between capacitor plates, the electric field present between these plates causes the dipoles induced in the dielectric material to align, decreasing both electric field strength and voltage. Due to this insulating effect, dielectric substances increase capacitance.

237
Rules of Oxidation States
Diatomic elements have oxidation states of zero. Otherwise, oxidation states are summed to equal the charge of the molecule. The oxidation state of F is -1, because it is the most electronegative element. Other halogens will usually have an oxidation state of -1, unless they are bonded to a more electronegative halogen, N, or O. In that case, their oxidation state may be +1, +3, +4 (for Br), +5, or even +7. The oxidation state of H is +1, except when it is bonded to a more electropositive element, in which case it will be -1. The examples you are most likely to encounter of this on the MCAT are the reducing agents NaH, NaBH4, and LiAlH4. The oxidation state of O is usually -2, with some important exceptions, such as peroxides, in which it is -1. The oxidation state of alkali metals (the first column in the periodic table) is always +1, and that of alkaline earth metals (the second column in the periodic table) is always +2.

boiling point and IMFs
Boiling points are dependent on a molecule's intermolecular forces, and strong intermolecular forces lead to higher boiling points. Carboxylic acids contain a hydrogen bond donor (hydroxyl hydrogen) and hydrogen bond acceptors (carbonyl oxygen, hydroxyl oxygen), and therefore can hydrogen bond with themselves. Because hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces, carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than molecules of a similar molecular weight that cannot hydrogen bond to themselves and have weaker intermolecular forces.

retro-aldol reaction is the reverse of an aldol condensation. When heated and treated with an aqueous base, the dehydration product (enone or enal) is first hydrated into the aldol product (β-hydroxy ketone), and then the carbon-carbon bond between the α- and β-carbons breaks. The retro-aldol reaction yields two products: either two ketones, two aldehydes, or one of each.
264
pKa
the pH value at which the protonated and deprotonated forms of the functional group are present in equal concentrations. Influenced by local environmental and structural factors that affect the stabilities of the protonated vs. deprotonated forms. If the protonated form is stabilized, the functional group resists deprotonation until higher pH values, raising the pKa. Destabilization of the deprotonated form allows the group to pick up a proton more easily, raising the pH at which significant protonation can occur, and thus raising the pKa.

Kinetic vs. Thermodynamic Products
A reaction at a low temperature (−78 °C) with a bulky base, such as (LDA), favors formation of the kinetic over the thermodynamic enolate because it requires a low activation energy to form. The kinetic product is a result of deprotonation of the less substituted α-carbon (ie, contains more hydrogen substituents and is sterically more accessible to a bulky base). - kinetic forms faster but is less stable (forms less substituted alkene) A reaction at a higher temperature with a smaller base such as (NaH) would lead to deprotonation of the more substituted α-carbon and formation of the thermodynamic enolate (ie, enolate C=C double bond more stabilized by substituents) and therefore formation of the thermodynamic product. - thermodynamic forms slower but is most stable because it forms the most substituted alkene

Order of stability for carbocations and carbanions
Carbocations are strong electrophiles and a common intermediate in SN1 and E1 reactions. Nearby alkyl groups will stabilize them because they are electron donating Carbocation: tertiary > secondary > primary > methyl Carbanions act as strong nucleophiles due to the lone pair of electrons on the charged carbon. Nearby alkyl groups will destabilize them because they are electron donating. Carbanion: methyl > primary > secondary > tertiary
364
Newman Projection
Eclipsed bonds generate torsional energy due to the steric repulsion of electrons between the aligned groups. Larger alkyl groups generate greater torsional energy for eclipsed bonds. Staggered conformations have Newman projection groups oriented at 60° intervals and are lower energy than eclipsed conformations. Alkyl groups with a θ = 60° (a gauche conformation) exhibit modest torsional energy. the anti conformation (when methyl is far from other functional group, limiting electron- electron repulsion) is the most stable -- want groups to be as far apart as possible
365
What makes a stable carbocation intermediate?
having more alkyl attachments (tertiary) these are favored in SN1
366
relationship between electronegativity and nucleophilicity
as the electronegativity of a negatively charged atom decreases from right to left across a period on the periodic table, its nucleophilicity increases-- less electronegative atoms stabilize a negative charge less effectively, have a weaker hold on electrons, and more readily donate electrons to an electrophile.
367
how do EWGs and EDGs impact carbocations?
electron withdrawing groups destabilize electron donating groups stabilize Carbocations are stabilized by electron donating groups because they donate electrons to the positively charged carbon; they are destabilized by electron withdrawing groups because they pull electrons away from the carbocation, creating two adjacent positive charges.

378
anhydride
a CA derivative-- contains two carbonyl groups linked together by an oxygen atom and is made by the condensation of two CAs
379
Why are esters more reactive than amides?
Esters are more reactive than amides due to a stronger electron-withdrawing, inductive effect caused by the greater electronegativity difference between the C and O atoms in esters compared to the C and N atoms in amides. Dipole created by ester increases electrophilicity The amide also can resonate, which makes it less electrophilic
380

cornea and lens, both of which form a biological converging lens that focuses incoming light rays onto the retina, a structure analogous to the film or sensor within a camera.
391
hyperopia
farsightedness a condition that results when the optical power (S) of the eye is insufficient to refract light rays from nearby objects. Cannot sufficiently refract light rays that approach the eye at an angle (eg, light rays from nearby objects), producing an image of nearby objects that is sharpest at a location behind the retina.
392
How to fix hyperopia
by placing a converging lens in front of the eye, forming an optical system with greater optical power. Consequently, placing a corrective lens in front of the hyperopic eye shifts the focal length towards the eye's lens and light from nearby objects is focused onto the retina.
393
Myopia
nearsightedness a visual condition in which the eye forms an image of distant objects at a focal point in front of the retina. Correcting myopia (not hyperopia) shifts the image away from the lens.

Properties of sound waves
This vibration creates oscillations of compressions (areas of high pressure) and rarefactions (areas of low pressure), resulting in a propagating pressure wave Attenuation (damping) is the decrease in the amplitude (intensity) of a wave due to absorption and scattering. The magnitude of the attenuation depends on the properties of the medium; attenuation is greater for softer materials The speed of sound is slowest in gases, faster in liquids, and fastest in solids. Because sound propagates through the vibrations of the molecules in a medium, sound cannot propagate through a vacuum.
396
The decibel (dB) scale
The decibel (dB) scale is logarithmic and relates the perceived loudness of a sound to its actual intensity. ex. For each 10-fold decrease, sound intensity decreases by 10 dB. Therefore, a 100-fold decrease in sound intensity corresponds to a decrease by 20 dB.
397
Period of a wave
period (T) of a wave is the amount of time for one cycle (or one wavelength) to pass through a fixed point. Period is the reciprocal (inverse) of frequency: T=1 / f
398
The fundamental frequency of standing sound waves
The fundamental frequency of standing sound waves in a tube of fixed length depends on whether the pipe is open at both ends or closed at one end. pipe open on both ends will resonate at the fundamental frequency when antinodes are formed at each end. A pipe with one end open will resonate at the fundamental frequency when a node is formed at the closed end and an antinode is formed at the open end. frequency when pipe is closed will be double the frequency of when the pipe is open (fo = 2fc)

what happens when sound crosses from one medium to another?
a portion of the wave's energy is reflected. Therefore, sound waves lose energy (are attenuated) and their intensity decreases when passing from air to a solid structure, such as the tympanic membrane. v = λf frequency does not change. Changes in wave velocity cause the wavelength to change: - Velocity increases with temperature. - Velocity is slowest in gases, faster in liquids, and fastest in solids. - Within a phase of matter, velocity increases with stiffness and decreases with density.
403

Why is the velocity of blood flow slower in capillaries than arteries?
the total cross sectional area of capillaries is larger (since there are more of them in the body); this decreases the velocity of blood
420
Blood pressure in capillaries vs arteries
the increased ration of surface area to blood volume in the capillaries compared to arteries means that the blood contacts more blood vessel surface area; this slows down the velocity and drops the blood pressure blood pressure is lower in capillaries than arteries blood travels slower in capillaries than arteries

When a battery is charging, it functions as an electrolytic cell because an external potential drives the oxidation-reduction reaction to proceed in a nonspontaneous direction (ie, ΔG > 0; Ecell < 0). When charging a battery, an external positive electric potential must be applied to force the spontaneous (ΔG < 0) oxidation-reduction reaction in the nonspontaneous (ΔG > 0) direction. The net ΔG for the system must be negative to charge the battery.

Why is water a good solvent?
As a polar compound, water is an efficient solvent due to its ability to interact with other polar or charged compounds. The polar nature of water is due to the difference in the electronegativities of oxygen and hydrogen, along with a bent geometry. The small size of the water molecule allows efficient interactions with solutes, forming a hydration shell around and dissolving them.

Soaps + how to determine number of unique soaps
A soap is a sodium carboxylate salt of a fatty acid. Soaps can be produced through basic hydrolysis of fatty acyl–containing lipids like triacylglycerols or phospholipids. The number of unique soap molecules that can be generated is dependent on the number of unique fatty acyl groups (hydrocarbon tail connected to carbonyl) in the source lipid.

Elements with a lower first ionization energy are easier to ionize and more reactive than elements with a higher ionization energy. (Ionization energy has the same trend as electronegativity)
519
Bohr Model
electrons move around the nucleus in fixed circular orbits at particular intervals. Electrons in orbits farther from the nucleus have higher energy! Energy equal to the difference between two orbits is absorbed by an electron moving to a higher orbit and is emitted by an electron moving to a lower orbit.
520
Ksp and dissolution/precipitation
If [X]^c[Y]^d < Ksp, the solution has not reached the solubility limit and will permit more ions into solution (dissolution). if [X]^c[Y]^d > Ksp, the solubility limit of the solution has been exceeded and the solution will not accept any more ions (precipitation). This will cause any ions in excess of the Ksp to come out of solution as a precipitate!
521
Rate law
relates k value and conc of reactants
522
Heat and Equilibrium
An exothermic reaction (-ΔH°) releases heat. increasing the temperature causes the reaction to shift toward the reactants (ie, Keq decreases) to compensate for the heat gain in accordance with Le Châtelier's principle. An endothermic reaction (+ΔH°) absorbs heat. increasing the temperature causes the reaction to shift toward products (ie, Keq increases).

528
Will a smaller or larger Ksp be more responsive to changes in common ion concentrations?
If the Ksp is small, then small changes to [A2+] or [X−] have a much larger impact than would be the case if the Ksp were large.
