Chem 2510 Practice Test 1 With
Complete Solutions 2026 Updated.
Thermodynamics - Answer extent to which a reaction goes to completion
Kinetics - Answer speed of a reaction
Thermodynamic control - Answer most stable product formed
Kinetic control - Answer fastest product formed
First Order Reaction - Answer Only dependent on concentration of one of the reactants
Second Order Reaction - Answer Dependent on concentration of two of the reactants
Bronsted Acid - Answer Proton Donor
Bronsted Base - Answer Proton Acceptor
Lewis Acid - Answer Electron Pair Acceptor, Electrophile
Lewis Base - Answer Electron Pair Donor, Nucleophile
Indicators of more conjugate base stability/stronger acidity - Answer 1. Electronegativity
(negative charge on more electronegative atom) 2. Hybridization (more s character= more
acidic) 3. Inductive Effect 4. Size (larger atoms are more stable bases 5. Resonance (delocalizing
negative charge increases base stability)
alkane - Answer
alkene - Answer
alkyne - Answer
aromatic - Answer
, haloalkane - Answer
alcohol - Answer
ether - Answer
aldehyde - Answer
ketone - Answer
carboxylic acid - Answer
anhydride - Answer
ester - Answer
amide - Answer
amine - Answer
thiol - Answer
nitrile - Answer
torsional strain - Answer electron pair repulsion in eclipsed bonds
steric hindrance - Answer overcrowding of a reactive site, molecules will rotate around bonds
to avoid this
hyperconjugation - Answer electron density in attached methyl groups offer stabilization to a
radical, so the more attached methyl groups, the more stabilization of the radical and that
radical site will be more stable and therefore more present in the products of a reaction
eclipsed conformation - Answer
