Concept explainers

Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibri…

Arrhenius Acid

Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.

Textbook Question

Chapter 17, Problem 58P

In the presence of excess base and excess halogen, a methyl ketone is converted to a carboxylate ion. The reaction is known as the haloform reaction because one of the products is haloform (chloroform, bromoform, or iodoform). Before spectroscopy became a routine analytical tool, the haloform reaction served as a test for methyl ketones: the formation of iodoform, a bright yellow compound, signaled that a methyl ketone was present. Why do only methyl ketones form a haloform?

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C = O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in ketones is placed somewhere in the middle of the molecular structure, which means, the C=O is attached to two alkyl groups or benzene rings. Just like all other homologous series, the naming of ketones is done using a common suffix “-one”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O. Functional group of a ketone

1. Oxazolines (five membered ring with N and O shown below) are an important functional group in organic chemistry because they can be used to help facilitate catalytic, enantioselective reactions during the synthesis of important pharmaceutical molecules. One way to make oxazolines is through the ring expansion of N-acylaziridines. Me Ph Nal Acetone Ph An N-Acylaziridine An oxazoline a. This reaction utilizes nucleophilic substitution reactions to get from the aziridine to the oxazoline. Provide a complete arrow pushing mechanism for this transformation. You do not have to draw it while talking. You can have the mechanism already drawn out and simply talk through the steps. If you choose to use ChemDraw, be sure it is very clear where your arrows are pointing. You may also draw it by hand (paper or tablet) and screenshare an image of your work while explaining what happens. You must talk through each step of your mechanism and use proper terms such as nucleophile and electrophile. b.…

Which of the following statements is true about the mechanism of acid-base reactions? The transition state has a tetrahedral A-H-B bond angle. The proton is shared only by B in the transition state. During the molecular collision in an acid-base reaction, the trajectory of the base, B-, must be toward the A of A-H. For an acid to transfer its proton to a base, the two entities must collide with specific geometry.
