Presentation Transcript

  1. Lecture 8.1 – Organic Chemistry and Alkanes

  2. I. Organic Chemistry and Carbon • Organic Chemistryis the branch of chemistry that studies carbon. • Carbon can form long chains and rings by bonding to itself

  3. I. Hydrocarbons • A molecule of only hydrogen and carbon is called a hydrocarbon. • Hydrocarbons can be classified as alkanes, alkenes, or alkynes • Alkanesare completely saturated hydrocarbons

  4. II. Properties of Alkanes • Alkanes release a large amount of energy when burned • Alkanes are not soluble in water • The heavier an alkane is, the higher its boiling point (only intermolecular force = London Dispersion Forces)

  5. Lecture 8.2 – Alkenes and Alkynes

  6. I. Alkenes • Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain at least 1 double C – C bond.

  7. II. Alkynes • Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain at least 1 triple C – C bond.

  8. III. Naming Alkenes and Alkynes • When naming alkenes and alkynes, you need to state the location of the double/triple bond by stating the carbon it is located on • E.g. 1 – propene, 2-octyne, etc.

  9. Lecture 8.3 – Naming Hydrocarbons

  10. I. Naming Hydrocarbons • Circle the LONGEST carbon chain • Number all of the carbons in the longest chain • Circle all side chains • Name the side chains by writing the carbon number it is attached to and the name of the chain. NOTE – Add di, tri, etc. when you have the same side chain multiple times

  11. II. Isomers • Isomersare compounds that have the same molecular formula, but different structural formulas • This different structure leads to different physical and chemical properties.

  12. III. Practice • Draw 3 isomers of pentane.

  13. IV. Practice • Draw 4 isomers of octane.

  14. Lecture 8.4 –Functional Groups

  15. I. Functional Groups • Functional groups are specific groups of atoms or bonds that alter the physical and chemical properties of the hydrocarbon.

  16. II. Halides (Halocarbon) • Halocarbonsare when a simple halogen from group 17 replaces a hydrogen atom in an alkane. • Tend to be used as solvents and pesticides

  17. III. Halocarbon Properties • Nonflammable and low reactivity • Boiling points are higher than alkanes because of larger molecular weight and increased strength of London Dispersion Forces • Haloalkanes are better solvents due to increased polarity

  18. Lecture 8.6 – Types of Organic Reactions

  19. I. Combustion Reactions • When a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are produced. • Ex. CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O

  20. II. Addition Reactions • Addition reactions involve adding one or more atoms to an unsaturated hydrocarbon. • A double covalent bond is converted into a single covalent bond and a triple covalent bond is converted into a double covalent bond.

  21. III. Substitution Reactions • In a substitution reaction, one type of atom is replaced with a different atom or group of atoms. • Substitution reactions only happen to saturated hydrocarbons.

  22. IV. Polymerization • A polymeris a large molecule composed of many repeating units called monomers.

  23. Lecture 8.7 – Types of Organic Reactions

  24. I. Esterification • Anesterificationreaction is: ORGANIC ACID + ALCOHOL ESTER + WATER • This process produces many common smells in foods (especially fruits) and perfumes.

  25. II. Saponification • The general formula for asaponification reaction is: • ESTER + INORGANIC BASE  ALCOHOL + SOAP • REMEMBER THIS REACTION MAKES SOAP!

  26. III. Fermentation • In a fermentationreaction, the general reaction occurs: Sugar  Alcohol + Carbon Dioxide • Sugars have the empirical formula of CH2O
