SACE Y12 Chemistry Topic 3- Organic and Biological Chemistry Full Topic Flashcards

These are the notes I created in Y12 that helped me to get an A and a 97.0 ATAR.

Topics covered includes:

Physical Properties (Boiling/Melting Points, Solubility)

Types of Functional Groups (Polar Groups, Carbonyl Groups)

Alcohols --> Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Alcohols, Alcohol Oxidation (Acidified Dichromate) --> Ethanol Production, Fermentation Conditions, Hydrolysis of Polysaccharides

Aldehydes and Ketones --> Reactions with Acidified Dichromate and Tollen's Reagent Carbohydrates --> Glucose, Condensation of Monosaccharides, Hydrolysis of Disaccharides, H2O Solubility of Carbohydrates, Ring vs Linear Carbohydrate Forms

Carboxylic Acids -->Reactions with Carboxylic Acids, Solubility

Amines --> Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Amines, Protonated Amines, Solubility

Esters --> Condensation and Hydrolysis of Esters, Preparation of Esters, Boiling Points,

Amides --> Condensation and Hydrolysis of Amides,

Triglycerides --> Hydrolysis of Triglycerides, Physical Properties, Degree of Unsaturation, Bromine Numbers, Bromine Test, Calculating Mol of Br2, Solidifying Oils, Hydrogenation, Micelles and Soap,

Proteins --> Zwitterions, Condensation of amino acids, Naming and Wording, Protein Structures, Secondary Bonding between amino acid chains, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Protein Structure, Protein Function, Protein Denaturation, Impact of Temperature and pH on Protein chains
