OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) While all chemical bonds are stable “energy valleys” (low chemical potential energy), some valleys are shallower than the others. Take a look at the table below and identify which bonds are more stable than the others. (In general, large ΔEN = stable.) Bond energy = “ how much energy input is required to break a bond. Through a chemical reaction, electrons currently trapped in a shallow valley, such as a C-C bond, a C-H bond, and O=O bond may “fall” to an even lower energy level, such as a C=O bond and O-H bond, and release the chemical energy (typically as heat - increased movement and vibration of molecules). We will come back to this critically important concept in Unit 3. For now, we should know that C-C and C-H are relatively high-energy bonds compared to those found in the products of their combustion reaction. Hydrocarbons are rich in chemical energy. Refining crude oil through Fractional distillation Every day, millions of barrels (1 barrel is about 100L) of crude oil is produced. Crude oil contains a mixture of hydrocarbons with various sizes and chain lengths. Through a long pipeline (which frequently generates front-page news in Canada), crude oil is transported to a refinery. An oil refinery separates hydrocarbon components based on their different boiling points through the distillation process. Exercise 1: Why do some people support the construction of an oil pipeline? Why do some reject it? Economy vs. ecology 1
OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) How distillation works A liquid has two components, A and B. A’s b.p. = 100ºC B’s b.p. = 200ºC When we heat up the liquid to 100ºC, only A starts evaporating. The gaseous substance A is collected separately and cooled back down (often by running tap water) to liquid. The boiling point of ethanol (78ºC) is lower than that of water. This property enables the brewery industry to separate ethanol and water in a distillery. However, home-made moonshine often contains toxic methanol, a byproduct of fermentation. Drinking moonshine often causes methanol poisoning, leading to blindness and even death. Since methanol has an even lower boiling point (65ºC) than ethanol, it is possible to distill the mixture at a lower temperature to remove it first. Extended topic: NileRed: Making toilet paper moonshine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17WjcVWw2H8 Exercise 2. In a home-made moonshine mixture, there is methanol, ethanol and water are mixed together. The container is heated to 80°C, while the gaseous distillate is collected and cooled back to liquid. Is this moonshine safe to drink? Explain. No because both methanol and ethanol boil at 80ºC. Consuming methanol causes poisoning. An oil refinery has a tall, multi-layered fractional distillation column, through which there is a temperature gradient. Pre-heated ~400°C crude oil (a grand mixture of hydrocarbons) enters at the bottom, where the temperature is the highest. All but the largest hydrocarbons, which attract each other with the most intermolecular force, evaporate and rise up to the second-last level. The temperature in the second last level is slightly lower, while all but the largest remaining hydrocarbons evaporate and rise up to the next, higher level. As the temperature continues to drop when hydrocarbons travel up, smaller and smaller hydrocarbons are separated from the rest. Eventually, only the smallest hydrocarbons - the natural gases - reach the top column at around room temperature (25°C). Fuse school: fractional distillation https://youtu.be/PYMWUz7TC3A 2
OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) After hydrocarbons are separated by their boiling points (which correspond to different chain-lengths), they become useful fuels for different purposes. Larger molecules require a higher temperature to start burning (as O=O is much more accessible while the fuels are in the gas phase) but there is also more stored chemical bond energy to harvest. Natural gases (1-4 C) are burned in a household furnace for heating. Naphthas (5-10 C), are burned in the internal combustion engines of cars. Larger hydrocarbons are used for heavier vehicles such as trucks ( diesel ), airplanes ( kerosene ), and ships. Motor oil consists of hydrocarbons that are large and stable enough to lubricate machine parts to prevent frictional worn-out. Candle wax consists of even longer-chain hydrocarbons so that it remains solid at room temperature. Finally, the largest hydrocarbons are used to pave roads ( asphalts ). Exercise 3. Which of the following organic compounds may be found in car gasoline? (a) propane (b) benzene (c) toluene (d) 5-pentylnonane (e) 2,2,4-trimethylpentane Watch: Octane number https://youtu.be/vL8Uj2CNWtI 3

OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) Internal combustion engine (animated .gif) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/4-Stroke-Engine-with-airflows.gif Octane number (89, 91…) As gasoline is sprayed into an internal combustion engine, a spark ignites the fuel and the combustion reaction proceeds to produce CO 2 , H 2 O, and energy. Ideally, all fuels react with oxygen at the same time when the combustion chamber compresses the fuel-oxygen mixture. The hot gas reaction product then pushes the piston up to drive the vehicle. However, since gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons, some fuels ignite before the engine’s compression phase is complete. A premature ignition creates an engine knock (vibration), reduces fuel efficiency and may cause engine damage. The petroleum industry uses “octane number” to indicate how well a hydrocarbon fuel ignites together. Here is a list: https://chem.libretexts.org/@api/deki/files/30450/e10687fa219cb79e41c16f513ea25c39.jpg?revision=1 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (an isomer of octane, called “isooctane” in the industry) defines octane number 100 (less engine knock), while n-heptane defines octane number 0 (more engine knock). Ethanol, which may be produced as a biofuel, has an octane number of 108 (even less engine knock). The petroleum industry frequently mixes ethanol in gasoline to raise the octane number and to “go green.” Note that this does not mean ethanol actually contains more chemical energy per unit volume. Until the 1970s, “tetraethyl lead” (4 ethane chains bonded to lead) was added to gasoline to raise octane number. This created widespread lead pollution in the society, causing cognitive developmental problems in children. It is still common to see gas stations slapping an unleaded ” sticker on their gasoline pump. Being unleaded does not mean a high octane number (in fact the industry has to think of other ways to raise the octane number). Exercise 3. Next time you visit a gas station, pay attention to (1) the octane numbers, (2) ethanol content, (3) “unleaded” sticker. Extended topic (highly recommended!) Clair Patterson’s clean room and the battle on banning tetraethyllead http://www.documentarymania.com/player.php?title=The%20Clean%20Room Halogenated Hydrocarbons (old: Alkyl halides) Just like H, halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) require one electron to fill their respective electron shell. Many hydrocarbons have one or more H replaced by halogens. Unlike H, 4
OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) halogens are larger and more electronegative, giving halogenated hydrocarbons different intermolecular interactions. When attached to hydrocarbons, halogens are named like side chains (e.g. methyl-) F = fluoro- Cl = chloro- Br = bromo- I = iodo- Exercise 1 . Name the molecule on the right. 2-chloro-2-fluoro-5-methylhexane Exercise 2. Draw an ortho-dichlorobenzene, a meta-dichlorobenzene, and a para-dichlorobenzne. And supply the correct IUPAC names. What is their chemical (molecular) formula? C 4 H 6 Cl 2 ortho-dichlorobenzene = 1,2-dichlorobenzene meta-dichlorobenzene = 1,3-dichlorobenzene para-dichlorobenzene = 1,4-dichlorobenzene Case study: Chloro fluoro carbons (small alkane with -H replaced by -F and -Cl) In the latter half of the 20th century, there was a widespread fear about a continent-sized “hole” of the ozone (O 3 ) layer of the stratosphere, specifically over Antarctica. Ozone is capable of absorbing high-energy ultraviolet radiation from the sun before it reaches us. UV ray is energetic enough to lift bond electrons completely out of the energy valley. The broken bond creates almost filled orbitals. Imagine a stable 3s 2 3p 6 becomes 3s 2 3p 5 ! (If the bond electron escape completely, a charged ion is left behind. Such a high-energy radiation is called “ionizing radiation.) Back then, c hloro f luoro c arbons (CFCs) were widely produced as a coolant, a solvent, and a propellant for hair spray and asthma inhaler. However, due to its non-polar nature and low molar mass, CFCs will remain a gas and rise up in the atmosphere. The UV ray reaching the stratosphere is capable of breaking a C-Cl bond, producing a free-flying Cl atom. This Cl atom is more often called a “ free radical ” and is written as Cl•. (By definition, a free radical is atom/ion with an unpaired electron - though this Cl is specifically missing one e - to fill the last orbital of the third shell, [Ne] 3s 2 3p 5 ). The very reactive Cl atom (Cl ) can eventually break down 2 ozone molecules to three O=O and regenerate itself perpetually. Cl is a catalyst of the reaction 2O 3 → 3O 2 . 5
OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) In the midst of the ozone hole panic, CFCs were banned in the mid 90s. Finally, in recent years there are signs that the ozone hole has stopped growing and is actually shrinking. Watch : Seeker: What Ever Happened To The Hole In The Ozone Layer? https://youtu.be/0ZfBgjUnXIs Extended topic: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) depletes the ozone layer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU6pxSNDPhs CFC as a greenhouse gas (3rd worst after CO 2 and methane) https://www.globalchange.gov/browse/indicators/annual-greenhouse-gas-index Case study: DDT ( Di chloro di phenyl tri chloro ethane, not an IUPAC name) DDT was once the pesticide. It did not appear to be toxic to humans at first, but it effectively killed bugs, such as mosquitos and flies. During World War II, DDT started to be sprayed in regions plagued by malaria, typhoid fever, and cholera. The inventor of DDT received a Nobel Prize in 1948. Then scientists discovered that DDT accumulated in the body of animals. DDT is quite a non-polar compound so that it does not dissolve in water to be excreted. Being a recent synthetic compound, it cannot be broken down by existing enzymes. As a result, DDT molecules gather in animal fat tissues. It takes about 8 years for the DDT level to drop by half. DDT also accumulates up the food chain, so that the top predators have the highest DDT level. DDT is linked to the thinning of the egg shells of lake gulls and eagles, causing the eggs to break before hatching. There is also evidence that DDT is linked to male cancer by mimicking the male hormone 6

OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) (shown on the right). The US and Canada banned DDT in the 70s. Since then, the DDT level in Great Lake fish and birds have reduced and the bird's population has recovered. However, DDT is still used in developing countries to combat the aforementioned diseases. Footage: Spraying DDT on happy children https://youtu.be/GIxMvUZVRDE Case study: PCBs (Polychlorinated bi phenyl ) PCBs are a group of chlorinated "benzene doublets" that were manufactured as industrial lubricant, coating agent, and solvent. Like DDT, PCBs are quite non-polar and, being synthetic, there is no evolved enzyme to break them down quickly. PCBs also end up in animal fat tissues and accumulate up the food chain. Worse than DDT, PCBs are quite toxic to humans, damaging the nervous system (incl. brain), the reproductive system, and the immune system. Those who are poisoned by PCBs develop chloracne on the skin. There have been a couple of large-scale PCBs poisoning as PCBs made their way into consumer oil. While PCBs were banned in the late 1970s, old equipment could still contain PCB. Recently, scientists have developed microbes that have enzymes to break down PCBs. Case study: Dioxins Dioxins are a group of byproduct compounds produced from burning organic compounds, such as plastics, that contain chlorine. The common feature of dioxins are two central benzene rings connected by two oxygens, while the number of chlorines on the sides vary. The most toxic varient is 2,3,7,8-t etrac hlorod ibenzod ioxin (TCDD). A few decades ago TCDD was a highly feared pollutant through the damages it caused in experimental animals. TCDD and is still classified as group-1 carcinogen today. (Next time when you smell people burning plastic, better stay away!) Exercise 5. What are the common structural features of DDT, PCBs, and Dioxins? Do you think dioxins could be found 7
OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) in fat tissues? Do you expect high levels of dioxins may be found in top predators (e.g. eagles, killer whales)? Explain. (Almost think about Polyaromatic hydrocarbons, PAH - they have similar properties and behaviours.) Extended topics : Agent orange The New York Times: The Dark Shadow of Agent Orange https://youtu.be/uzvTB0mOS0w Addition Reactions of Alkene (hydrogenation, hydration, halogenation) Previously we touched on the hydrogenation of alkene by combining H 2 and an alkene, such as ethene or a cis- fat. The π bond may also be broken when the alkene reacts with an H-X acid (HF, HCl, HBr, HI), an X-X (F 2 , Cl 2 , Br 2 , I 2 ), and even H 2 O, with suitable conditions and catalyst in each case. The common theme of hydrogenation, hydration, and halogenation is that a small molecule is added to the main reactant. Therefore, we call these “ addition reactions .” The reverse reaction, where an alcohol loses a water, or a halogenated alkane loses H-X or X-X to form an alkene, are called “ elimination reactions .” Here a small molecule is eliminated from the main reactant. Which isomer product is preferred? Consider the addition reaction between propene and HCl. There will be two possible products: 1-chloropropane or 2-chloropropane. One takes up 70% of the product mixture while the other 30%. We will have to rewind the reaction a bit to explain why. Right before the Cl - (or Cl δ - , if it has not dissociated) is added, it could be attracted to either C 1 (first from right) or C 2 . 8
OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) For high school, we can simplify the reaction mechanism as such: the local bonds connected to C 1 and C 2 decide their partial charge. C 1 is bonded two =C, -H, -H while C 2 is bonded to =C, -C, and -H. There will be no dipoles generated from =C, while each C-H will make C more δ - . Since C 1 has one more -H than C 2 , C 1 has a stronger δ - than C 2 . Consequently, the H + of HCl will be more likely added to C 1 rather than C 2 . Therefore, 2- chloropropane is the preferred product over 1-chloropropane. Markovnikov’s rule When a HX is added to an alkene, the H gets attached to the carbon with more H substituents, and the X gets attached to the carbon with more C substituents. (The ric h get ric h er.) [Ignore this paragraph if this is your last chemistry course.] The actual reaction is: (1) A π bond electron over C=C is lost to the pretty significant δ + H of HCl due to electrostatic attraction. (2) The new paired electrons (a bond) now exists between the other C and the H of HCl. The new C-H bond is made right here. (3) The bond between H and Cl is broken and -Cl leaves with both bond electrons, becoming Cl - . (4) C 2 on the alkene is more likely than C 1 to donate that electron from its share of the π bond. This is because the result of that electron loss will leave a positive charge, a carbo cation . The neighbours of C 2 are together less δ + than those of C 1 , and can better stabilize the carbocation. (5) Finally, the C 2 carbocation attracts the Cl - and the C 2 -Cl bond forms. Exercise 6 . Predict the major product of 3-ethylpent-1-ene + HBr. 2-bromo-3-ethylpentane Exercise 7 . Complete the following reactions with IUPAC names for each organic compound (it might help to translate names to structures first). If there are more than one possible products, only show the primary product in 9
