Chemistry Unit 2: Alcohols, Halogenoalkanes and Analysis

?
Volatility
Volatility is the ease that a liquid turns into a gas. Volatility increases as boiling point decreases.
1 of 14
Reflux
Reflux is the continual boiling and condensing of a reaction mixture to ensure that the reaction takes place without the contents of the flask boiling dry.
2 of 14
Esterification
Esterification is the reaction of an alcohol with a carboxulic acid to produce an ester and water.
3 of 14
Dehydration
Dehydration is an elemination reaction in which water is removed from a saturated molecule to make an unsaturated molecule. In an elemination reaction 1 molecule becomes 2 molecules.
4 of 14
Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is a reaction with water or aqueous hydroxide ions that breaks a chemical compound into two compounds.
5 of 14
Nucleophilic Substitution
Nucleophilic substitution is a type of substitution reaction in which a nucleophile is attracted to an electron-deficient centre or atom, where it donates a pair of electrons to form a new covalent bond.
6 of 14
CFC
CFCs are chlorofluorocarbons.
7 of 14
Limiting Reagent
A limiting reagent is the substance in a chemical reaction that runs out first.
8 of 14
Atom Economy
The atom economy formula is: [(Molecular mass of the desired product)/(Sum of molecular masses of all products)]*100
9 of 14
Molecular Ion, M+
Molecular ion, M+ is the positive ion formed in mass spectrometry when a molecule loses an electron.
10 of 14
Fragmentation
Fragmentation is the process in mass spectrometry that causes a positive ion to split into pieces, one of which is a positive fragment ion.
11 of 14
Radical
A radical is a species with an unpaired electron.
12 of 14
Electrophile
An electrophile is an electron pair acceptor.
13 of 14
Nucleophile
A nucleophile is an electron pair donor.
