Solutions for Chapter 14: Chemical Equilibrium

A two-step process that achieves Markovnikov addition of an alcohol (H and OR) across an alkene. The product of this process is an ether.

A reaction for which the reagent necessary to catalyze the reaction is produced by the reaction itself.

The process by which a liquid rises in a tube because of a combination of adhesion to the walls of the tube and cohesion between liquid particles. (Section 11.3)

A spectrum that contains radiation distributed over all wavelengths. (Section 6.3)

Structural isomers of coordination compounds in which the ligands within the coordination sphere differ. (Section 23.4)

The conversion of a thioacetal into an alkane in the presence of Raney nickel.

A reaction in which an element reacts with a compound, displacing an element from it. (Section 4.4)

Diastereomers that differ from each other in the configuration of only one chirality center.

A cyclic ether in which oxygen is one atom of a three-membered ring

Elements that are in the same column of the periodic table; elements within the same group or family exhibit similarities in their chemical behavior. (Section 2.5)

A reaction which involves the addition of a halogen and a hydroxyl group (OH) across an alkene.

A law stating that the concentration of a gas in a solution, Sg, is proportional to the pressure of gas over the solution: Sg = kPg. (Section 13.3)

A chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of certain atoms change. (Section 4.4; Chapter 20: Introduction)

The substance that is reduced and thereby causes the oxidation of some other substance in an oxidation–reduction reaction. (Section 20.1)

An ion in which oxygen bears a positive charge.

Changes (such as a phase change) that occur with no change in chemical composition. (Section 1.3)

An addition or substitution reaction in which one of two or more possible products is formed in preference to all others that might be formed.

An element from within the s and p blocks of the periodic table (Figure 6.29). (Section 6.9)

A concise verbal statement or a mathematical equation that summarizes a wide range of observations and experiences. (Section 1.3)

An organohalide in which the alpha (a) position is connected to exactly two alkyl groups.
