CHEM 110O: EXAM 3
What happens ins a Galvanic Cell? |
It goes for chemical to electrical
|
What happens in an Electrolytic Cell? |
It goes from electrical to chemical
|
If you see the words "acid" or "base" what does that most likely mean? |
It is an electrolite and something is charged
|
What does OIL RIG stand for? |
OIL=Oxidation is Loss
RIG=reduction is gain
|
If electrons are on the right side what kind of reaction is it? |
Oxidation
|
What happens in a cathode? and anode? |
cathode=reduction occurs (e- are gained)
anode=oxidation occurs (e- are lost)
|
What is the main purpose of a Salt Bride? |
To transfer ions
|
What is in an Alkaline Battery? |
zinc and potassium hydroxide
|
What about Pb-Acid? |
It is long lasting, it is rechargeable, it is a power starter, alternator recharges, and it is toxic.
|
How can we improve batteries? |
Have a safe disposal--> phase out mercury and lead. Make them lighter more dependable, rechargeable
|
What are the macrominerals? |
Na, K, Mg, Ca, P, S, Cl
|
What do fuel cells do? |
-force H+ through the membranne and e- through the wire.
-there is no flame it is electrical -unused H2 or O2 can be put back in
|
Fuel Cell Cars |
-there is no nitrogen, or CO2 emissions
-there is no recharging -they are expensive
|
What are the problems in Methonal Fuel Cells? |
-CO2, CO production
-They have a fuel crossover -expensive
|
What are sources of H2? |
-Hydrogen is on =e of the most plentiful elements
-it is very reactive -it must be extracted
|
How can you store and transport H2? |
- use heavy, pressurized cylinders
-transport using energy -liquify to 253 degrees celcius
|
How can you store H2 into other forms? |
-absorb in carbon
-react to make mental hydrides -make ammonia
|
What is good about electrical car batteries? |
-they are lead storage batteries so no pollutants are released and they don't need fuel.
-NiMH and Li-ion--> they are lighter and get better mileage they last the life of a vehicle, and they quickly recharge
|
Hybrid cars |
it has two engines--a gas engine and a NiMh/Li-ion engine
|
Photovoltaics |
-It is a method of generating power by the use of sunlight
|
What are the problems of semiconductors |
-it has expensive refinement
-low efficiency
|
What are the developments of semi-conductors |
-using non-crystalline silicon--decreases the costs and increases efficiency.
-"doping silicon"--combine with other materials
|
What is Doped Silicon? |
-It is easier to make current--lower energy photons
-new materials begin developing
|
As (Arsenic) Ga (Gallium) |
as-- "extra" e- (n-type)
Ga-- e-"deficient" (p-type)
|
Polymer (sythetic) (natural) |
polymer--chain of atoms
Synthetic--polyesters and nylons natural--silk, cotton, DNA
|
Monomers |
single units
|
What are the "Big Six" |
Polyethylene (LDPE)
Polyethylene (HDPE) Polyvinyl Chloride Polystyrene Polypropylene Polyethylene terephthalate or PETE
|
CH3 |
Methyl
|
OH |
hydroxyl or alcohol
|
-cooh |
carboxylic acid
|
-cooc- |
ester
|
-NH2 |
amine
|
-C6H5 |
Phenyl
|
PETE |
What comes out of this it is different from the other 5 in the Big 6
|
What is styrofoam? |
A polystyrene
|
Polyamide |
-Polymers of Amino Acids
-contains peptides and proteins -linked by a peptide bond
|
What is the difference between Starch and Cellulose |
Cellulose is stronger
|
Where does plastic come from? |
Petroleum is burned and 3% is plastics
|
Paper or Plastic? and why? |
Plastic because it is non biodegradable, and you can use it when recycling
|
Incineration |
uses hydrocarbons and has low environmental damage
|
Lipids |
-They are insoluble in water
-they are the fats largest subgroup
|
Saturated Fats |
there are no C=C bonds
|
Unsaturated fats |
do have C=C bonds
(more than one C=C bond--polyunsaturated)
|
Hydrogenation |
Less saturated-->more saturated
|
What is it when H atoms are are on the same side as the double bond? opposite side? |
-same side=cis
-opposite=trans
|
Monosaccharides |
they are the simplest sugars-->one ring
|
Glycosidic Bonds |
links mono saccharides
|
amylose starch chain |
straight chain
|
amylopectin starch chain |
branched chain
|
How are proteins lined up |
they are structural
|
Peptide Bond |
-It is an amide bond
-connects carboxyliv acid to amino group
|
What is important about the sequence of Amino Acids? |
must be in the correct order because the order effects the structure
|
What is unique about the structure of proteins? |
4 orginizational levels
primary secondary tertiary quaternary
|
Basal Metabollism Rate |
-Minimum Calories expended
-nothing but resting
|
Low Carb Diets |
deplete glycogen
|
