Classes Of Functional Groups

Organic Chemistry deals mostly with carbon and hydrogens, also called hydrocarbons, but those groups which replace hydrogen and bonds with carbon to give a characteristic nature, unique of their own, to the hydrocarbon they are attached to, are called fu…

Characteristics Of Functional Groups

In organic chemistry, we encounter a number of special substituent groups which are attached to the hydrocarbon backbone. These groups impart certain characteristics to the molecule of which it is a part of and thus, become the highlight of that particul…

IUPAC Nomenclature

In Chemistry, IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry which suggested a systematic naming approach for the organic and inorganic compounds, as in the beginning stage of nomenclature one single chemical compound was named in man…

4. a) Give a suitable rationale for the following cyclization, stating the type of process involved (e.g. 9-endo-dig), clearly showing the mechanistic details at each step. H CO₂Me 1) NaOMe 2) H3O® CO₂Me

2. Platinum and other group 10 metals often act as solid phase hydrogenation catalysts for unsaturated hydrocarbons such as propylene, CH3CHCH2. In order for the reaction to be catalyzed the propylene molecules must first adsorb onto the surface. In order to completely cover the surface of a piece of platinum that has an area of 1.50 cm² with propylene, a total of 3.45 x 10¹7 molecules are needed. Determine the mass of the propylene molecules that have been absorbed onto the platinum surface.

Chem 141, Dr. Haefner 2. (a) Many main group oxides form acidic solutions when added to water. For example solid tetraphosphorous decaoxide reacts with water to produce phosphoric acid. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (b) Calcium phosphate reacts with silicon dioxide and carbon graphite at elevated temperatures to produce white phosphorous (P4) as a gas along with calcium silicate (Silcate ion is SiO3²-) and carbon monoxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
