Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.92CP
Cocaine is a widely abused, addicting drug. Cocaine is usually obtained as its hydrochloride salt (cocaine hydrochloride, an ionic salt). This salt can be converted to crack (a neutral molecule) by treatment with base.
- Identify the
functional groups in cocaine. - Given what you have learned about ionic and covalent bonding, which of the two compounds—crack or cocaine hydrochloride—has a higher boiling point?
- Which compound is more soluble in water?
- Can you use the relative solubility to explain why crack is usually smoked but cocaine hydrochloride is injected directly into the bloodstream?

In terms of organic chemistry how do you know if an atom has ionic bonds or covalent bonds and how do you know if it has just one of these or if it has both? Could you provide some examples of what an ionic bond looks like, covalent bond looks like, and what an atom would look like with both of these?
Enema nuclear forces determine many physical properties for organic chemicals. What is the reason ethylene glycol  has a much higher boiling main point than acetone?
