CHEM 2342: Organic Chemistry II

Explore the protonation of amino acids, specifically valine and threonine, when subjected to a pH lower than their isoelectric points, highlighting the structural changes in their carboxyl and amino groups.

Unpack the intricacies of solid-state chemistry, focusing on the unit cell structure of tausonite. Discover its empirical formula, atomic arrangement, and the unique coordination patterns of titanium and strontium with oxygen atoms.

In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts

Explore the process of determining ionizable hydrogen atoms in malonic acid using its molecular formula C3H4O4 and a neutralization reaction with Sodium hydroxide. Through methodical calculations involving the given mass of malonic acid and the required volume of Sodium hydroxide for neutralization we uncover that each molecule of malonic acid contains two ionizable H atoms.

Discover the fascinating world of chemical reactions with N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) in Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl4), initiated by light. Explore the bromination process and its effects on molecules like cyclopentene, 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene, and CH3 toluene, leading to valuable insights into organic chemistry.

In this exploration, we delve into the fundamental units of various substances, whether they are single atoms, molecules, or formula units. We examine ionic compounds like Rb?O and Fe(NO?)?, characterized by formula units as their basic components, and covalent compounds like N? and N?F?, where molecules are the fundamental units.
