(E) all of the above.
20. What is meant by a condensation reaction? Give an example.
Water is lost during a condensation reaction. Examples include: the formation of an ester
from an alcohol and a carboxylic acid, the formation of an amide from an amine and a
carboxylic acid.
21. What is meant by an addition reaction? Give an example.
Addition is to make an addition to a molecule. An example is the addition of a small

molecule (such as Br2) to an alkene.
Br
+ Br2 (in UV) → Br

propene 1,2-dibromopropane
22. What is meant by a substitution reaction? Give an example of one.
Substitution is to substitute an atom on a molecule. An example is electrophilic aromatic

substitution.

24. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.
25. What is chiral? Sketch a molecule that contains three chiral carbons.
A molecule is chiral if it cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. A carbon in a

molecule is chiral if it has four different groups attached to it. CH2BrF is not chiral.
CHBrClF is.

R3 is H
R4 is CH2SH
R5 is
CH2 OH
27. What polymer is formed by the reaction of HOCH2OH and

HOOCCH2CH2CH2CH2COOH?
This is a condensation polymerization. Water is lost between the alcohol and carboxylic
acid:
O O O O
|| || || ||
HOCH2OH + HOCCH2CH2CH2CH2COH → HOCH2OCCH2CH2CH2CH2COH
water will leave
The carboxylic acid group on the right is still in tact and will react with an alcohol group
from another HOCH2OH molecule. The alcohol group on the left is still in tact and will
react with a carboxylic acid group from another HOOCCH2CH2CH2CH2COOH molecule.
The polymer may be represented as:
O O
|| ||
-[-CH2OCCH2CH2CH2CH2CO-]n-
Where n is a large number representing a large number of these repeat units make up the
polymer.
28. Define: trans-, unsaturated, saturated, and omega-3 fats. What is meant by
partially hydrogenated vegetable oil?
trans- fats have the trans- conformation about a double bond.
unsaturated fats have double bonds (they are not saturated with hydrogens).
saturated fats have no double bonds (any double bonds have been saturated with
hydrogen).
omega-3 fats have a double bond located at the third carbon from the end of the
chain. The term omega-3 is used because omega indicates the first
carbon at the end of the chain and the 3 indicates the third carbon
atom in.
partially hydrogenated vegetable oil some, but not all, of the double bonds
present in the carbon chains have been hydrogenated (had
hydrogen added across the pi-bond).
29. What polymer is formed by the reaction of a radical initiator and CF(C6H5)CF2?
-[-CF(C6H5)CF2-]n-
The radical initiator breaks the pi-bond in the monomer causing it to become a larger
radical and attacking another monomer unit.
F F F F
C C R C C
F F
+ R• →
monomer initiator new, larger, radical
(The dot inside the right carbon is to
represent the radical electron)
(This new radical will attack a
monomer unit and this process will
continue...)
30. What polymer is formed by the reaction of HOOCH2CH2CH2COOH and
HNCH2CH2CH2CH2NH?
This is a condensation polymerization. Water is lost between the amine and carboxylic
acid:
H H O O
| | || ||
HNCH2CH2CH2CH2NH + HOCCH2CH2COH →
water will leave
H H O O
| | || ||
HNCH2CH2CH2CH2NCCH2CH2COH
new amide
The carboxylic acid group on the right is still in tact and will react with an amine group
from another HNCH2CH2CH2CH2NH molecule. The amine group on the left is still in
tact and will react with a carboxylic acid group from another HOOCCH2CH2COOH
molecule.
