| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| _____ have cell walls made of peptioglycans | Prokaryotes |

| Na+/K+ Pump - what goes in/out? | 3 Na+ out --> 2 K+ in <-- |
| Noble gases have (high/low) electronegativity | Low; full octet shell |
| Which is more polar: CH2Cl2 or CH2Br2 ? | Cl is more electronegative, greater dipole moment (higher on periodic table) |
| Empirical formula gives us ... | The simplest whole number ratio. Usually given in mass. 1) Convert mass to moles by dividing atomic mass of all elements 2) Look at mole ratios between elements |
| If an atom is MORE electronegative than another... | 1) bonds to that atom are more polar 2) Dipole-dipole attraction is stronger |
| If an acid is weak, there is more (undissocitaed/dissociated) acid present. | UNDISSOCIATED. [HA] > [H+][A-] |
| Small pKa = (high/low) acidity | Small pKa = higher acidity Ka < 1 => pKa > 1 Ka < 1 = weakly acidic |
| Equation for molarity to volume relationship | M1V1 = M2V2 |
| Best ___ agent is the species getting reduced; Best ___ agent is species getting oxidatized | Oxidizing; reducing |
| Beta (-) decay causes a (neutron/proton) to be (added/subtracted) from species. | 1) Neutron 2) Added |
| Beta (+)/Positron decay causes a (neutron/proton) to be (added/subtracted) from species. | 1) Neutron 2) Subtracted |
| Only (reactant/products) can be reducing and oxidization agents | Reactants |
| On a plot of T vs. Q: Plateaus = ? Slopes = ? Steeper slope = ? | Plateaus = heat of vaporization/fusion Slopes = heat capacity Steeper slope = lower heat capacity |
| In regards to anode and cathode, where does oxidation and reduction occur? | "An-Ox/Red-Cat" Anode - Oxidation; Reduction - Cathode |
| What is the following most useful for in organic chemistry reactions? LiAlH4/THF | Strong reducing agent (Reduce -COOH to -OH) |
| What is the following most useful for in organic chemistry reactions? Hg(CH3COO)2 | Organomercury cmpds unreactive |
| What is the following most useful for in organic chemistry reactions? KOH/CH5OH | -COOH to ester |
| What is the following most useful for in organic chemistry reactions? BH3/THF | Convert alkene to alcohol |
| What is the following most useful for in organic chemistry reactions? CrO3/H2SO4 | Promote oxidation |
| Ester + H20 = What is formed? | Parent acid & alcohol |
| What acid dissociates into a base, it acquires a (positive/negative) charge. | Negative |
| Halogenation to benzene requires a ______ catalyst | Lewis Acid |
| What is Mass Spec used for? | To see the split in ions of a compound/molecule |
| What is IR Spec used for? | Distinguishes the different functional groups on a compound/molecule |
| Three steps of a Radical Rxn | 1) Initiation 2) Propagation 3) Termination |
| Bronstad-Lowry bases binds ( ) | H+ (adds H+) (accepts H+) |
| Addition of HCl to acids have what effect? | No effect |
| When an ester is REDUCED, ____ is liberated first and then ____ is converted to a primary alcohol. | Alcohol; Carboxylic acid |
