Rules for naming organic compounds
1) Identify longest carbon chain
2) Identify the alkyl (substituent) groups
3) Number the carbons starting from the
end closest to the substituents
4) Give the substituents an address
5) If you have multiples of the same
substituent, use prefixes: di-, tri-,
tetra-Naming Alkenes and Alkynes
1) Identify longest carbon chain
2) Number carbons from end closest to double
or triple bond
3) Give the double or triple bond an address
4) Double and triple bonds take precedence
Energy: Potential, Kinetic, Chemical
Chemical Energy: A type of potential
energy stored in bonds
Potential Energy: Energy of Position
Kinetic Energy: Energy of Motion
When an energy releasing reaction takes place,
bonds break on the reactant side, and new bonds
are formed on the product side
This yields products with
different and more stable
bonding arrangements
The products have less
chemical energy than the
reactants…the energy
originally stored in the
reactants is released as heat
and/or light
Step 1: Old Bonds are broken
•
Requires energy---endothermic
•
The energy is needed to pull apart the
bonds---it is a reactant
Step 2: New Bonds are Formed
•
Releases energy as the new bonds are
formed---exothermic
C + 4 H + 4 O → CO
2+ 2 H
2O + energy
The balance between the energy that is needed
to be put in, and the energy that is produced
when bonds are formed determines if the
When the energy released
(exo) in forming new bonds is
greater that the energy
needed (endo)to break the
old bonds, the
overall
chemical reaction is
exothermic—
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can be converted from one form to
another, but energy is never “used up”

particles of negligible
volume that are far apart
in size

Molar Volume of any gas : 22.4 L/mol

To describe the properties of a gas you
need 4 measurable quantities:
temperature, pressure, volume,

Limiting Reactants
Limiting
Reactant/Reagent:
Limits or determines the
amount of product that
can be made
Excess reagent: More than
enough reactant to drive
reaction to completion
More than enough green
molecules (excess reactants), not enough red atoms for all the green molecules to pair up with (limiting reactant
•
To solve LR problems, you must first
identify the limiting reactant. Often this
involves using molar relationships
•
Then, solve the problem using that
limiting reactant as the reactant that
will drive the reaction to completion.
Greenhouse Gases vs.

Greenhouse Gas is normal, and vital for life
on earth

Global Warming, caused by a depletion of
Acid Rain
•
Any precipitation with a pH
lower than ≈ 5.6 is acid rain.

Strong vs. Concentrated
Weak vs. Dilute
An acid is strong if it completely ionizes
(forms ions in solution)—it will produce
hydronium ions and anions
A base is strong if every dissolved
molecule produces a hydroxide ion and a
cation
Concentration and dilute refer to how

Titration
The controlled addition
and measurement of a
solution of known
concentration required
to react completely
with a measured
amount of a solution of
unknown concentration
A known solution is used to determine the
molarity of another solution by titration
1) Start with a balanced equation and
determine the chemically equivalent
amounts of acid and base
2) Determine the moles of acid (or base) from
the known solution
3) Determine the moles of solute of the
unknown solution used during the titration
4) Determine the molarity of the unknown
Buffer Solutions: mop up excess hydronium
or hydroxide ions
Buffer solutions is a solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid
The pH remains relatively constant when small amounts of strong acid or strong base are added.
They have highly stable pHs (will not vary by more than 1 pH unit)
A buffer is a solution of a weak acid and one of its salts (or a weak base and one of its salts)

When a system at equilibrium is
disturbed by application of a stress, it
attains a new equilibrium position that
minimizes the stress
Biochemistry:
Four Main Classes of Molecules
•
Carbohydrates
•
Proteins
•
Lipids
•
Nucleic Acids
Macromolecules: Polymers (made of monomers)
A cell makes thousands of different
Making polymers:
dehydration
reaction
Breaking polymers:
hydrolysis
Three main polysaccharides:
Starch: Found in plants—banks from which plants can draw
glucose for energy or building materials
Cellulose: most abundant organic material on earth--make tough walls of plant cell walls
Glycogen: stored in liver and muscle cells-- hydrolyzed when glucose is needed by the body
Carbohydrates, monosaccharides (simple sugars) and
polysaccharides: macromolecules—polymers made of hundreds to thousands of monosaccharides linked together by
Proteins—Main use is as enzymes
Amino acids are compounds
with an amine functional
group and a carboxylic group
Proteins are polymers of 20 different
amino acid monomers in chains of
100 – 1000’s bonded together covalently
with “peptide” bonds. A chain of AAs is
called a polypeptide chain. Function is
determined by the arrangement and
shape of these 20 AAs.
Lipids
Energy storing hydrocarbons linked by non-polar
covalent bonds
Hydrophobic
High energy!
9.8 kcal/gram
vs. 4.1 kcal/g of sugars and
proteins
Three kinds of lipids:
fats and oils (also waxes) –long term energy storage
phospholipids—main component of cell membranes
Cell Membranes:
Phospholipid Bi-Layer
Hydrophilic “heads” and
hydrophobic “tails” regulate
what goes into and comes
out of cells
Nucleic Acids
• Macromolecules necessary for storing and directing the
information that human cells use for reproduction and growth
Deoxyribonucleic acid: DNA -- where genetic information is stored
Ribonucleic acid: RNA: transfers the genetic information to ribosomes (inside cells) where protein synthesis takes place
