CHEM09
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is organic chemistry? | The chemistry of carbon (living things). |
| What are alkanes? | Hydrocarbons |
| Tell me about methane. | CH4, simplest alkane. |
| Tell me about ethane | C2H6, used for plastics. |
| Tell me about propane. | C3H8, used for bbqs |
| Tell me about butane. | C4H10, used for cigarette lighters. |
| Tell me about pentane | C5H12 |
| Tell me about hexane | C6H14 |
| What do all alkanes have in common? | All these things can be found in gasoline. |
| Why do we have so many carbons? (REALLY IMPORTANT) | Carbon has four valence electrons, it can either give up 4 or gain 4. Which makes it super compatible with other elements. |
| Can Carbons combine with each other? | Yes, they can have double bonds with each other. |
| What is essential for life and all living things to have? | Carbon. |
| What gets more wet as it dries? | Towel. |
| Why aren't there many silicon combinations? | Silicon doesn't like itself? It will never double bond with itself. It will however bond with itself if others are around (Si-O-Si-O) |
| What is silicon used for? | Silicon is used for nose jobs, boob jobs, ect.It is also used in science fiction novels. |
| What ending is added when Alkanes meet OH? | The -e suffix is dropped and an -ol suffix is added instead. |
| Methane + OH = ? | Methyl alcohol - methanol (wood alcohol) |
| Ethane + OH = ? | Ethyl alcohol - ethanol (grain alcohol) |
| Propane + OH = ? | Propyl alcohol - propanol |
| Butane + OH = ? | Butyl alcohol - butanol |
| What is Isopropyl Alcohol 70% used for? | It can be found in your medicine cabinet. |
| What is Acetic Acid 5%? | It's what an ant injects in you when it bites you. |
| What is formic acid? | When you hadd CO to OH and mix that with an alkane. That's what you get. COOH + alkane |
| What is Benzene rings? | They are bonds that are connected as an entire unit where everything shares everything. |
| What is Nanochemisty? | The study of really really tiny things? |
| What is graphene? | It's something that was discovered 10 years ago, it's a sheet of carbon that is one molecule thick. |
| What is changing the fastest? | The rate of change. |
| What is poly alcohol? | It's when an alkane has more than one OH. |
| What is Ethylene Glycol? | Anti-freeze, it tastes sweet and kills pets. |
| How do you calculate the number of electrons in an alkane? | CnH2n+2 (n is the number of carbon atoms) |
| What is the molecular formula for benzene? | C6H6. |
| What is an aromatic compound? | Any compound that contains a benzene ring or has properties that are similar to benzene. |
