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

Calculating Fundamental Frequency in a closed pipe (closed at one end open on the other)
(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

235
n is not a property of the media, it is dependent on both
the wavelength of light entering and the media itself, so like blue light entering a prism bounces more than red light so it is slowed down more

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?
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.

What would PCC oxide an alcohol to?
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
SN2
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.
414

415
Can acetals form under basic conditions?
No, acetals cannot form under basic conditions. Under basic conditions, only hemiacetals can be formed. Acetals, which result from the reaction of a hemiacetal with an alcohol, require acidic conditions.

Since a primary alcohol has only one bond to carbon, it possesses the ability to form three bonds to oxygen, creating a carboxylic acid.
419
reducing agent NaBH4 turns an aldehyde into?
could turn an aldehyde into an alcohol
420
kinetic v thermal product
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).
421
reducing agents
-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

reagent commonly used to convert carboxylic acids into acyl halides
423
Reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol forms an
ester. Esters are nearly identical to carboxylic acids in terms of reactivity.
424
halide leaving group stability
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.
425
Reactivity of carboxylic acid derivatives
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
When cyanide reacts with propanal (an aldehyde), it forms 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.

During a phase change, the temperature of a substance
stays the same
461
the rate constant can be affected by:
activation energy and temp
462
catalysis act by
reducing the activation energy (only affect kinetics not thermodynamics)
463
Rate laws are determined by
experiment
464
for a radical to form...
there usually needs to be an odd number of valence electrons in the molecule
465
heterogenous catalyst
a catalyst whose phase is different from the reactants', ex. a gas catalyst for a liquid reaction
466
can reason out rate law constant (k) units, rate itself is M/s (which is on left side of equal sign)
then you just plug in molarity on the right side where there are concentrations
467
Arrhenius acids
produce H+ ions in water
468
Arrhenius base
Produces OH- ions when dissolved in water
469
Bronsted-Lowry acid
proton donor
470
Bronsted-Lowry base
proton acceptor
471
Lewis acid
electron pair acceptor (electrophiles - Bf3, BCl3, AlCl3, and AIF3)
472
Lewis base
electron pair donor
473
Amphiprotic
A species that can either accept or donate a proton, so can act as either and acid or a base, ex. H2O which can become OH- or H3O+ also amino acids are an example
474
amphipathic
having both a hydrophilic region (polar) and a hydrophobic region (non polar)
475
Ka and Kb constants, (dissociation constants of acids and bases)
ratio of concentration of products to reactants, so the higher it is the stronger it is bc it has more dissociation
476
strong acids
HCl, HBr, HI, HClO3, HClO4, HNO3, H2SO4 (not strong acids: HF, H2CO3, H3PO4)
477
Strong bases include
LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2
478
pOH
-log[OH-]
479
pH
-log[H+]
480
when using pH scale, a shortcut to calculating pH is that if the concentration of [H+] is written in scientific notation, then the pH is the negative of the exponent
1 x 10^-4 pH would be 4
481
pKa vs Ka
higher ka is a stronger acid but smaller pKa is a stronger acid, same relationship is true for bases, because K always refers to the disassociation (ratio of products to reactant concentration)
482
(Ka)(KB)=
Kw=10•-14
483
pKa+pKb=
pKw=14

486
For elementary reactions (or single-step), stoichiometric coefficients can be used to write the
rate law These coefficients become exponents according to the following theoretical example: for the reaction aA + bB → cC, rate = k[A]a[B]b.
487
Keq can be found by
placing products over reactants, with each species raised to an exponent corresponding to its coefficient in the chemical reaction. (Note that all concentrations must be at equilibrium.) Solids and pure liquids are not included in this expression.

489
As an equilibrium constant, Ksp only responds to changes in
temperature
490
The lower the value of the pOH of a solution, the more _____ the solution is.
basic (akaline)
491
what forms a good buffer?
Equimolar amounts of a weak acid and its conjugate will form an ideal buffer. -not strong acids/bases
492
relationship between pKa and Ka
pKa = -log(Ka)
493
pH=
-log[H+]
494
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be written as either
pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]) or pOH = pKb + log([HA]/[A-])
495
less positive oxidation potential= less likely to oxidize
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
electrolytic cell has to do with the reduction potential and you need to know wthat reduction occurs at the___
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.

501
Where is the isoelectric point on a titration curve?
at the flat part (if there are many isoelectric points then it is the avergae of the two that are the closest together-the two closest should be either both acidic or both basic, of not then choose the ones that are both either acid/base)
502
Although SPLET and SET-PT have similar total ΔH values, the first step in SET-PT has an especially high ΔH, meaning that it is particularly
unfavored
takeaway: even if total delta H is the same, if the first step of one reaction has a particularly high deltaH, it is more unfavorable than the other reaction with the similar deltaH
