Solutions for Chapter 2: Acids and Bases

An amine in which the nitrogen atom is connected directly to an aromatic ring.

A substance that yields hydroxide ions (OH2) when dissolved in water. (2.7)

A neutral molecule that contains a carbon atom surrounded by only six valence electrons (R2C:).

An equation that uses chemical symbols to show what happens during a chemical reaction. (3.7)

The amount of solute present in a given quantity of solvent or solution. (4.5)

A cumulated diene is one in which two double bonds share an sp-hybridized carbon

An ArN2 1 or RN2 1 ion

Female sex hormones.

An equation that is often employed to calculate the pH of buffered solutions: pH = pKa + log 3conjugated base4 3acid4

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

A set of assumptions about the nature of gases. These assumptions, when translated into mathematical form, yield the ideal-gas equation. (Section 10.7)

A law that states that the elemental composition of a pure substance is always the same, regardless of its source; also called the law of constant composition. (Section 1.2)

A compound capable offunctioning as an electron pair donor.

Anything that occupies space and has mass; the physical material of the universe. (Section 1.1)

A chemical equation for a solution reaction in which soluble strong electrolytes are written as ions and spectator ions are omitted. (Section 4.2)

Compounds with the general structure R!O!O!R.

The structure of a protein resulting from the clustering of several individual protein chains into a final specific shape. (Section 24.7)

An equilibrium constant related to the equilibrium between a solid salt and its ions in solution. It provides a quantitative measure of the solubility of a slightly soluble salt. (Section 17.4)

The difference in energy between staggered and eclipsed conformations (for example, in ethane).

A term used to describe two identical groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms.
