Solutions for Chapter 14: Acids and Bases

An oxide that either reacts with a base to form a salt or with water to form an acid. (Section 22.5)

A summary of the results of many possible displacement reactions. (4.4)

The addition of H2 across only one face of a p bond.

In IR spectroscopy, when two bonds are stretching out of phase with each other.

A substance capable of accepting a proton. (4.3)

A temperature scale on which water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° at sea level. (Section 1.4)

A polydentate ligand that is capable of occupying two or more sites in the coordination sphere. (Section 23.3)

A technique by which compounds are separated from each other based on a difference in the way they interact with the medium (the adsorbent) through which they are passed.

Polymerization in which molecules are joined together through condensation reactions. (Section 12.8)

Representations of a molecule or ion that differ only in the distribution of valence electrons.

A compound containing a cyano group and a hydroxyl group connected to the same carbon atom.

The circulation of electron density in the presence of an external magnetic field, which produces a local (induced) magnetic field that opposes the external magnetic field.

An allowed state for an electron in a molecule. According to molecular-orbital theory, a molecular orbital is entirely analogous to an atomic orbital, which is an allowed state for an electron in an atom. Most bonding molecular orbitals can be classified as s or p, depending on the disposition of electron density with respect to the internuclear axis. (Section 9.7)

The ability of an atom or molecule to distribute its electron density unevenly in response to external influences.

A voltaic cell that cannot be recharged. (Section 20.7)

One of the four arrow-pushing patterns for ionic reactions.

A measure of the decrease in concentration of a reactant or the increase in concentration of a product with time. (Section 14.2)

Also called diamagnetic shielding; the term refers to the reduction in magnetic fi eld strength experienced by a nucleus underneath electron density induced to circulate when the molecule is placed in a strong magnetic fi eld.

The study of three-dimensional arrangements of atoms in molecules

The more substituted product (alkene) of an elimination reaction.
