Chemistry 2A Flashcards
(21 cards)
Chemical reactions
Combination
Dissociation/decomposition
displacement
partner exchange
redox
Combination reactions
2 or more substances combine to form a single substance
haemoglobin + Oxygen –> oxyhaemoglobin
Hb + O2 -> HbO2
Decomposition/dissociation
The breakdown of substances
HCl –> H+ + Cl-
Displacement
The displacement of less reactive to higher reactive elements
K+ calcium sulphorate –> Ca2+ potassium polystyrene sulphonate
Partner exchange
AB + CD –> AC + BD
antiacids to stop heartburn, pain from HCl produced in the stomach
Redox
OIL: oxidation (loss of e-, gain of bonds)
RIG: reduction (gain of e-, loss of bonds)
Redox examples
breaking down glucose to produce ATP
cellular respiration
enzymes
lock and key mechanisms
catalyst of a rate of chemical reaction but doesntvchange itself
specific to a particular substrate and closely related substrates
Organic chem
C and H bonds except CO, CO2, CO3 2-
Inorganic chem
No C, synthesis and behaviour or inorganic and organometallic compounds
Aromatic
benzene, saturated, less reactive
Aliphatic
1bond (saturated) 2&3 bonds (unsaturated), c atoms
alkanes
saturated
alkene, alkyne
unsaturated
alchol
C-OH
glycerol
many OH groups
aldehyde
H-C=O
|
ketone
-C=O
|
amine
-NH2
carboxylic acid
OH-C=O
|
polar
most polar is methane, and it gets lower as it goes down
