Solutions for Chapter 6: Organic Chemistry 8th Edition

The closeness of a measurement to the true value of the quantity that is measured. (1.8)

An object that lacks chirality; an object that has no handedness

The difference in Gibbs free energy between reactants and a transition state

A device for measuring the heat evolved in the combustion of a substance under constant-volume conditions. (Section 5.5)

A compound that contains the ¬COOH functional group. (Sections 16.10 and 24.4)

The production of chlorine gas by the electrolysis of aqueous NaCl solution. (22.6)

The species formed when an acid transfers a proton to a base

A neutral species containing one or more complex ions. (23.3)

An imaginary network of points on which the repeating motif of a solid may be imagined to be laid down so that the structure of the crystal is obtained. The motif may be a single atom or a group of atoms. Each lattice point represents an identical environment in the crystal. (Section 12.2)

For alkenes, a stereodescriptorthat indicates that the two priority groups are on opposite sides of the p bond.

A pericyclic process in which a conjugated polyene undergoes cyclization. In the process, one p bond is converted into a s bond, while the remaining p bonds all change their location. The newly formed s bond joins the ends of the original p system,thereby creating a ring.

Matter that has no fixed volume or shape; it conforms to the volume and shape of its container. (Section 1.2)

A compound composed of cations and anions. (Section 2.7)

A pair of unshared, or nonbonding, electrons.

A graph of pH as a function of added titrant. (Section 17.3)

When electromagnetic radiation is viewed as a particle, an individual packet of energy.

A set of rules for specifying absolute confi guration about a chiral center; also called the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system

An intermediate that has both a negative charge and an unpaired electron.

During a reaction, when the configuration of a chirality center remains unchanged.

A compound containing an !SH (sulfhydryl) group bonded to an sp3 -hybridized carbon.
