Write an equation like Al(OH)3 Al3+ +
3OH- Then write a Ksp expression: Ksp = x (3x)3
Solve for Ksp
3. Find pH of a solution being titrated
Stoichiometry, then equilibrium…
… using Henderson-Hasselbalch; pH = pKa + log [b]/[a] 4. Relationship between Keq and ΔGo
ΔGo = -RT ln K

Naming of alkanes
• First four are named historically:
– CH4, methane (“intoxicate” from the Greek)
– ethane, propane, and butane for 2, 3, 4.
• After n=4, the prefixanes have Greek numbers as their prefixes.
– 5 = pent, 6 = hex, 7 = hept, 8 = oct, 9 = non, and 10 = dec, 20 = eicos, 30 = triacos

Branching & isomers
•
After n = 3, it’s possible to let some C s
bond with 2 - 4 other carbons.
–
The # of structural isomers possible
thereby grows exponentially with n.
–
These isomers have similar chemical and
physical properties.
–
So they’re expensive to separate, and one
sees bottles labeled merely “hexanes.”

Isomer naming
•
Older conventions would have that as
“
iso
octane,” but IUPAC names follow these
rules:
–
Name the longest C chain (
pentane
)
–
List the side groups in alphabetical order
with Greek prefixes (
trimethyl
pentane)
–
Supply (smallest possible) positional
indices (

• the sp2 alkene C
2X2Y2 has cis & trans isomers
(where X is or isn’t on the same side of = as X).

• Come in three varieties.
– “Primary” amines, N is at chain end.
– “Secondary” amine N bonds to 2 carbons.
– “Tertiary” amines bond to 3 carbons.
– Weak base Kb diminishes as n increases.
• Alcohols are also primary, secondary, and tertiary. (Primary are on end carbons.)
– But this refers to the bonding of the C to which OH is attached.

Mixed Functionality
• So H2NCH2CH2OH is an alcohol and an amine; it
becomes ethanolamine.
• But the monster C9H14N4O3 would be agony to call by its IUPAC name.
– So it’s known by it common name, carnosine.
How many K
a and Kb are expected? 1 and 4, respectively.
