Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and The correct name (or abbreviation) of an example compound (discussed in the lecture videos) containing a phenol group with antioxidant properties is:

Which is the most important reactive intermediate of daytime atmospheric chemical phenomena? O radical HOO radical HO radical H3C radical
Consider a reaction taking place in an aqueous solvent. The transition state for this reaction is capable of interacting more strongly with the aqueous solvent (through low potential energy interactions, including hydrogen-bonding) than with the reactant/ground state. Despite these strong potential energy interactions, the reaction rate is not significantly faster than the same reaction taking place in a non-polar solvent. Why? a)The transition enthalpy is unchanged by the aqueous solvent b)The transition Gibbs energy is reduced in the aqueous solvent c) The transition entropy is significantly negative in the aqueous solvated reaction d) The transition state internal energy is significantly negative in the aqueous solvated reaction d) none of the above

The overall reaction of hydroxide radical with hydrogen gas occurs as follows: OH (g) + H2(g) – H20(g) + H'(g) Part A This reaction plays a significant role in the chemistry of the earth's atmosphere by eventually converting OH to HO, through the subsequent reaction of H with O2. HO2 is involved in the destruction of stratospheric ozone (J. Phys. Chem. A, 2006, 110. 6978). Determine the activation energy for the reaction of OH with H, reaction.
