Question
Answer
General Formula for Aldehydes   RCHO  
🗑
General Formula for Ketones   RCOR  
🗑
General Formula for Carboxylic Acids   RCOOH  
🗑
General Formula for Esters   RCOOR'  
🗑
What is the functional group in an Aldehyde and where is it located?   One or more CARBONYL groups (-CHO) are located at the END of the carbon chain.  
🗑
What is the functional group in a Ketone and where is it located?   The CARBONYL group (C=O) is located in the WITHIN of the carbon chain-NOT at the end.  
🗑
What is the functional group in a Carboxylic Acid?   The CARBOXYL group (-COOH)  
🗑
Esters are produced by the reaction of an _____?______ with an _____?_____.   Esters are produced by the reaction of an ORGANIC ACID with an ALCOHOL. ex: RCOOH(carboxylic acid)+ ROH(alcohol)= RCOOR'(ester)+ water (water removed=dehydration)  
🗑
What is an organic compound containing two aldehyde (-CHO) radicals called?   A Dialdehyde  
🗑
Name three examples of Aldehydes.   1. Methanal (formaldehyde; HCHO) 2. Ethanal (acetaldehyde) 3. Benzaldehyde  
🗑
Aldehydes are formed by the ______?______ of _______?________.   Aldehydes are formed by the OXIDATION of A PRIMARY ALCOHOL.  
🗑
How do we name Aldehydes?   1. Start w/the parent hydrocarbon -e (Methane-e=Methan) 2. Add -al (Methan+al=Methanal)  
🗑
Name two examples of Dialdehydes.   1. Glyoxal (simplest. 2 carbonyl groups bonded together) 2. Glutaraldehyde (excellent germicide; Cold/Liquid sterilizing agent)  
🗑
What is Formalin?   Formaldehyde gas dissolved in water at 37% by weight and 40% by volume.  
🗑
What does HCHO form when it polymerizes?   Paraformaldehyde or solid formaldehyde. METHANOL slows polymerization. Polymerization occurs when a bottle of arterial is exposed to cold temps, has expired shelf life, the pH is less than 6.5, etc. Shouldn't embalm with this!  
🗑
Name an example of a Ketone.   Propanone (acetone; dimethyl ketone). Dissolves sticky stuff on skin or fingernails.  
🗑
Ketones are formed by the ______?_______ of a _____________?____________.   Ketones are formed by the OXIDATION of a SECONDARY ALCOHOL.  
🗑
How do we name Ketones with two different radical (R) groups?   Ketone general formula = RCOR. Put them in alphabetical order and put "Ketone" on the end. Ex: Ethyl group (R) + C=O + Methyl group (R) would be named ethylmethylketone.  
🗑
Of Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Ethers, which 2 are neutralization products in an arterial fluid?   Carboxylic Acids & Esters.  
🗑
Give three examples of salts used in arterial solutions that act as anticoagulants/sequestering/chelating agents for the calcium in hard water.   1. Oxylates 2. Citrates 3. EDTA (ethylenediaminetetrasodiumacetate)  
🗑
Give two examples of Carboxylic Acids.   1. Methanoic Acid (formic acid) 2. Ethanoic acid (acetic acid; vinegar)  
🗑
Explain the process of how an Alkane oxidizes to become a Carboxylic Acid.   An Alkane oxidizes to become an Alcohol, which oxidizes to become an Aldehyde, which oxidizes to become a Carboxylic Acid. ex: Methane--O2-->Methanol--O2-->Methanal--O2--> Methanoic Acid.  
🗑
Explain the processof how a reduction reaction can turn a Carboxylic Acid into an Alkane.   A Carboxylic Acid reduces to an Aldehyde, which reduces to an Alcohol, which reduces to an Alkane. ex. Ethanoic Acid or Acetic Acid -->Ethanal-->Ethanol-->Ethane  
🗑
An Ester is formed from an ____?____ and _______?________ by the removal of _____?_____.   An Ester is formed from an ALCOHOL and ORGANIC (CARBOXYLIC) ACID by the removal of WATER.  
🗑
Give two examples of Esters.   1. Ethyl acetate 2. Methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen)  
🗑
What do Esters usually end in?   They usually end in -ate or -oate  
🗑
