Chapter 6 - Understanding Organic Reactions

1.

Determine whether the reaction is a substitution, elimination or addition?

Elimination

2.

Determine whether the reaction is a substitution, elimination or addition?

Addition

3.

Determine whether the reaction is a substitution, elimination or addition?

Substitution

4.

What is the difference between a radical, carbocation, and carbanion?

Radicals are formed through homolysis whereas carbocations and carbanions are formed via heterolysis. Radicals and carbocations are electrophiles whereas carbanions are nucleophiles.

5.

Draw an energy diagram for a one step endothermic reaction. Label key components: Axis, Energy of Activation, and Overall Enthalpy

6.

Draw an energy diagram for a one step exothermic reaction. Label key components: Axis, Energy of Activation, and Overall Enthalpy

7.

What is the difference between thermodynamics and kinetics?

Thermodynamics has to do with difference in energy between products and reactants and equilibrium, whereas kinetic describes reaction rates.

8.

Draw the structure for the transition state in the reaction

9.

Draw the structure for the transition state in the reaction

10.

What factors affect the rate of the reaction?

Energy of activation, the concentration, and temperature. Catalysts also affect the rate.

11.

Write the rate equation for the reaction, given the indicated mechanism
