Chapter 2, Problem 3Q
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The statement '' water not used to extinguish most fires in an organic laboratory" should be explained. Also, the safety issues with the given scenario should be explained.

Concept introduction:

The interaction of water and organic compounds makes them unusable as a fire control measure in an organic laboratory. Organic compounds are generally lighter than water and thus float on water. When water is used as a control measure to put out fire the fire is spread due to the flow of water.

An organic laboratory is guided to follow a set of precautious measures which helps in reducing the risks of accident breakout. These measures include use proper disposal and aeration of labs.

TRUE OR FALSE All atoms play a role in the physicochemical and pharmacologic properties of a molecule. Sophistication and advancement in technology are the main driving forces of drug development. Organic medicinal chemistry is the study of matter, specifically, all carbon-containing compounds. A functional group will always have the same physicochemical properties, regardless of its neighboring atoms in a molecular structure. Addition of a single methyl group in a drug molecule may result to changes in physical, chemical, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacologic properties. Steric effects occur when bulky and large functional groups are near each other in a molecular structure. Molecules that are highly capable of hydrogen bonding tend to be more soluble in nonpolar solvents.
1. Describe which principles of green chemistry are applied when carbon dioxide is used to replace organic solvents in dry cleaning.
Solubility- hexachlorobenzene   Q1)Using the Lewis structures of the molecule and water, identify and label areas of intermolecular attraction.   ▪More than one water molecule should be shown   ▪Label the type of IM forces present   b)Using the Lewis structures of the molecule and a nonpolar solvent (e.g., hexane), identify and label areas of intermolecular attraction.   c)explain the solubility (or lack thereof) of your molecule in water. When available, use solubility data (at the same temperature) to support your explanation.   d)explain the solubility (or lack thereof) of your molecule in nonpolar solvents. When available, use solubility data (at the same temperature) to support your explanation.   e)when dissolved in water, qualitatively discuss whether the molecule is a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, or nonelectrolyte.
