Chapter 4, Problem 16E

Organic chemistry is a bit like cooking. Later in this course we will study “recipes” for preparingnew molecules. A common instruction in such recipes is “add a strong acid” or “add a strongbase” (rarely are they added at the same time since a violent reaction ensues). You will see theseterms frequently from now on, and are expected to be able to recognize them or draw theirstructures from memory. Memorize them before next class.
