Q

A hoop and a sphere, each of mass M, are rolled down a frictionless ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, which object will have the greater translational velocity, and why?

A

An object’s moment of inertia contributes to its rotational kinetic energy. Since a higher moment of inertia correlates to a higher rotational KE, it also means that translational KE must be lower, as the sum of these two values must equal the potential energy at the top of the incline. For the sphere, more of its mass is concentrated towards the center than for the hoop. As a result, the sphere’s moment of inertia will be lower.

Lentz’s Law

A

Direction of the induced current is such that the induced magnetic field always opposes the change ex. This law, which brings to mind conservation of energy and even Le Châtelier’s principle, states that a change to a magnetic field will always generate a current that counteracts that change. Here, the external field is becoming stronger, or more heavily positioned out of the page. To resist this change, it will induce a current that promotes a field pointing the opposite direction, into the page. The right-hand rule tells us that this current must travel clockwise.

215
Q

Which changes are experienced by visible light as it moves from Medium 1 (n = 1.16) to Medium 2 (n = 1.68)?

A

Wavelength decreases while frequency remains constant. light rays are moving from a material with a low index of refraction to one with a relatively high one. According to the equation n = c / v (which can be rearranged to v = c / n), the light will slow down during this transition. From here, it is helpful to remember this relationship: velocity = λf. Since the velocity of this light is decreasing, the product of wavelength and frequency must decrease in a corresponding manner. Furthermore, the frequency of light does not change when that light transitions between media. Thus, it must be wavelength that drops to yield the predicted decrease in speed.

(λ = 4L/n) With L=length of pipe and n = 1 because it is the fundamental frequency

An easier way to remember open and closed pipes is that yin a closed pipe you start with 1/4 wavelength as the fundamental frequency then keep adding 1/2 wavelength for following harmonics

For open pipes it is the same thing, but you start with 1\2 wavelength as the fundamental frequency then add 1/2 a wavelength for the following harmonics

Q

A hoop and a sphere, each of mass M, are rolled down a frictionless ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, which object will have the greater translational velocity, and why?

A

An object’s moment of inertia contributes to its rotational kinetic energy. Since a higher moment of inertia correlates to a higher rotational KE, it also means that translational KE must be lower, as the sum of these two values must equal the potential energy at the top of the incline. For the sphere, more of its mass is concentrated towards the center than for the hoop. As a result, the sphere’s moment of inertia will be lower.

Q

What would PCC oxide an alcohol to?

A

As a weak oxidizing agent, PCC will oxidize a primary alcohol to an aldehyde. According to IUPAC naming convention, this aldehyde group will be given the highest priority, so our numbering should begin at that end of the chain. The parent alkane is five carbons long, and our high-priority aldehyde is given the suffix “-al,” yielding “pentanal.” From there, the methyl substituents are numbered based on the carbons to which they are attached.

410

413
Q

A

These processes, formally known as bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions, happen in one step and involve a “backside attack” by a strong nucleophile. Since the attacking atom must bind at the same time as the leaving group is removed, these reactions require an unhindered substrate.

The kinetic product is the one that is less thermodynamically stable, but is easier to synthesize due to a lower activation energy. In general, kinetic enolates are less substituted than their thermodynamic counterparts. Here, the double bond has formed in the position that is less sterically hindered (between carbons 1 and 6).If this were the thermodynamic enolate, it would have the double bond between carbons 1 and 2 (the more substituted position adjacent to what formerly was the carbonyl carbon).

Q

reducing agents

A

-Chemically, deuterium and hydrogen behave identically. Thus, lithium aluminum deuteride may be considered to be equivalent to lithium aluminum hydride (LAH). LAH is a strong reducing agent and is certainly capable of reducing both carboxylic acids and aldehydes. It would therefore be the most appropriate choice. -Sodium borohydride would be perfectly adequate for selective reduction of the aldehyde, but it lacks the reducing power necessary to reduce the carboxylic acid. -Sodium hydride is a strong base, but is not a hydride source and thus is not a reducing agent. -Potassium cyanide is a nucleophile and a weak base. It is not an appropriate choice for any reduction reactions.

422

Reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol forms an

A

ester. Esters are nearly identical to carboxylic acids in terms of reactivity.

Q

halide leaving group stability

A

iodine serves as the best leaving group. To understand this concept, consider the periodic table. As a member of a much lower period than (for example) fluorine, iodine is a very large atom. As such, it can easily delocalize the negative charge gained when it exits as a leaving group. The better the leaving group, the more reactive the compound, and a more reactive molecule is by definition less stable.

acid anhydride, one of the more reactive of the carboxylic acid derivatives. Esters, in contrast, are moderately unreactive, since their leaving groups are extremely unstable in solution

426
Q

When cyanide reacts with propanal (an aldehyde), it forms a

A

cyanohydrin. Interestingly, it is the carbon - not the nitrogen - atom that acts as a nucleophile to attack the carbonyl carbon. The final cyanohydrin product consists of the former carbonyl carbon bound to -OH, -H, the original -R group from the aldehyde, and -C≡N.

Q

less positive oxidation potential= less likely to oxidize

A

less positive oxidation potential; in other words, it is less likely to oxidize and the oxidation potential and reduction potential are inverses of each other

496
Q

electrolytic cell has to do with the reduction potential and you need to know wthat reduction occurs at the___

A

cathode reduction potential higher=more likely to be reduced and thus act as an oxidizer In electrolytic cells, the nonspontaneous redox half-reaction will take place thanks to the external current being applied. Since Al3+ has a more negative reduction potential than Cd2+, it is Al3+ that will reduce and Cd (s) that will oxidize. In contrast, in a galvanic cell, the reverse (spontaneous) redox half-reaction would take place. Oxidation and reduction always occur according to the mnemonic “REDCAT”: reduction happens at the cathode and oxidation takes place at the anode.
