Organic Reactions Flashcards
(13 cards)
Organic Reactions occur ______ than other reactions
Slower
Substitution Reaction
Formed when: Replacement of hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon with an atom of another group.
Need to break ______ bonds to make new ones
strong
Combustion
Formed when: Oxygen is added to hydrocarbon
Produces: Water and CO2
Created carbon monoxide when there’s a lack of oxygen
Addition Reaction
Formed when: One or more atoms is added to a double or triple bond to create lesser bonds
Esterfication
Formed when: Reaction between and organic acid and an alcohol
Produces: An ester and water.
Saponification
Formed when: When an ester reacts with a base
Produces: An alcohol and a soap
Fermentation
Formed when: Yeast cells secrete an enzyme and sugar into carbon dioxide and 2 carbon fragments
Addition polymerization
Breaking double/triple bonds to join monomers
Condensation polymerization
Bonding of 2 or more monomers by removing water from hydroxyl groups and joining them by an ester or ether.
Ether
2 carbon chains joined together by an oxygen atom
Ester
Mix of an organic acid and an alcohol
Organic alcohol
ends in oic acid
