: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 147) A. Distinguish between the mass of a molecule and the mass of a mole, using NaCl in your example. B. Calculate the mass of a mole of NaCl in g, using the mass of one Da (amu). C. Calculate the mass of a dozen NaCl molecules, a dozen donuts, and a mole of donuts, assuming a 30 gram donut.
: A. The mass of a molecule is determined by the mass of its component atoms. From the periodic table, the mass of Na is 23 amu and of Cl is nearly 36 amu, so the mass of one molecule of NaCl is 59 Da. A mole is like a dozen, i.e., it is a particular number of items, specifically 6.02 × 1023. B. A mole of NaCl = 59 Da × 6.02 × 1023 = 3.55 × 1025 Da. 1 Da = 1.66 × 10-27 kg, so 3.55 × 1025 Da × 1.66 × 10-27 kg/Da × 1000 g/kg = 59 g. C. A dozen NaCl molecules: 12 × 59 Da × 1.66 × 10-27 kg/Da × 1000 g/kg = 1.2 × 10-21 g. A dozen donuts: 12 × 30 g = 360 g. A mole of donuts: 6.02 × 1023 × 30 g = 1.8 × 1025 g.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 132) Your swimming buddy Mark jumped into a pool parallel to the water surface. When he stood up, he yelled "ouch" and you noticed that the skin on his chest and belly looked red and irritated. How would you describe the properties of water to explain to Mark why this happened? Why doesn't it hurt when pool water is penetrated perpendicular to the surface, as with a hands-first or feet-first dive?
: Because Mark was parallel to the water surface, the force of his mass was spread out over a relatively large area of the water, making the force per unit water lower than in a typical dive. The surface tension of water, while not strong enough to keep Mark from penetrating the water surface, was strong enough to momentarily resist him. The force of the water pushing back on Mark, however briefly, was enough to cause pain. In a typical dive position, the force of Mark's entire mass is spread only over a tiny area of the water, and thus the force per unit water surface is greater. This higher force is sufficient to immediately break the hydrogen bonds and overcome the surface tension. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.3

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 128) Sydney Student is trying to memorize chemical structures of every compound his professor has indicated are important to the human body. Explain to him that an easier way is to memorize a few rules of chemical bonding and then figure out the structure of the important compounds, especially the simpler compounds.
: Elements combine to form molecules in predictable ways because of how the outer shell electrons combine between atoms. In most cases, the outer shell will be most stable with a total of eight electrons. This information is easily discernible from the periodic table. Therefore an atom with seven outer shell electrons, such as K, combines very readily with an atom with one outer shell electron, such as Cl; an atom with six outer shell electrons, such as Ca will combine with an atom with two outer shell electrons or with two atoms with one outer shell electron each, and so on. Examples: KCl, CaCl2, CH4. Section Title: Molecules and Bonds Learning Outcome: 2.3
: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 136) While every level of a protein's structure is important to the function of that protein, which level of structure is most important to the function of enzymes, and why?
: Enzymes and other globular proteins depend upon the three-dimensional shape resulting from the globular folding. Under conditions in which this shape is altered by denaturing agents such as heat, the protein ceases to function, though the primary and secondary structure may be unchanged.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 127) Sally Student does not understand the differences between ions, isotopes, and free radicals. Assuming she has learned and understood some basic chemistry, what is the likely source of her confusion? Review the definitions of these terms, then make a table or flow chart to help her sort this out.
: Her confusion may arise from the fact that all of these terms describe a structure that has either gained or lost something. An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons and thus bears an electrical charge. Ions form when salts dissolve in water and are required for normal cell function. An ion's charge affects both its behavior in solution and its chemical reactivity. An isotope is an atom that has gained or lost one or more neutrons; as neutrons lack a charge, isotopes remain neutral. Some isotopes emit radiation, a type of energy, rendering them both useful and dangerous; compared to ions, they are rare in nature. A free radical is an atom or molecule that has at least one unpaired electron (an electron is more stable if paired with another electron). Free radicals can be either electrically charged (e.g., superoxide) or neutral (e.g., hydroxy), depending upon the total number of protons and electrons present. Because free radicals are unstable, they are highly reactive and disruptive to cell function; compared to ions, they are rare in the body. Neither isotopes nor free radicals are known to be required for normal cell function. Section Title: Molecules and Bonds Learning Outcome: 2.2
: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 134) Stanley Student is confused on the similarities and differences between proteins and nucleic acids. Assuming he has learned and understood the basic chemistry, what is the likely source of his confusion? To help him sort this out, make a table or flow chart to explain the structure of these molecules and their relationship to each other.
: His confusion probably stems from the fact that both proteins and nucleic acids are classified as macromolecules, and both are assembled by covalently bonding certain monomers in a particular order. Also, nucleic acids contain the information necessary for manufacturing proteins, the term acid is used in describing the structure of both nucleic acids and proteins, and both nucleic acids and proteins must contain nitrogen. The monomer of protein is the amino acid, which has a central carbon, a variable chain denoted as R, and a nitrogen-containing amino group. There are 20 naturally occurring amino acids. The monomer of the nucleic acid is the nucleotide, which has a sugar attached to a nitrogen-containing base, and a phosphate. There are five different bases and two different sugars. The sequence of bases in a DNA or RNA molecule determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein. Section Title: Molecules and Bonds Learning Outcome: 2.1
: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 124) Water striders are insects that literally walk on water. These insects are frequently found living on ponds. If hydrogen bonds did not exist, how would this affect the life of water striders?
: Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the surface tension of water, the attractive force between water molecules that can make it difficult to separate them. The surface tension is strong enough to support the weight of water striders thus allowing them to walk on water. If water molecules could not form hydrogen bonds, the water striders would not be able to walk on water because there would be no surface tension to support their weight. Therefore, these insects would have to adapt to terrestrial conditions near ponds or lakes rather than living on them. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.4
: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 135) Proteins are described as having different levels of structure. List and distinguish between the level(s) that produce a linear shape vs. a globular shape, and explain why one of those levels can result in either a linear or globular shape.
: Linear shapes: primary, secondary, quaternary. Primary structure is simply the sequence of covalently bonded amino acids in a peptide chain. Secondary structure is further bonding between nearby amino acids in a peptide chain, with the molecule still retaining a strand-like shape. Quaternary structure can involve separate linear polypeptide chains held together in a strand. Globular shapes: tertiary and quaternary. Tertiary structure involves bonding between distant amino acids, which causes the molecule to be wadded. Quaternary structure occurs when more than one globular peptide chain bonds together.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 131) Ionic bonds are considered to be strong chemical bonds. Yet, ions dissociate in water. Explain this apparent contradiction.
: Molecules such as sodium chloride are bonded by ionic bonds. So much energy would be required to separate a molecule of NaCl into Na+ and Cl- that it is practically impossible. That is, if the sodium chloride is dry. Because water molecules have partial charges resulting from their polar covalent bonds, sodium chloride dissociates in water. This means that the ions separate and function relatively independently. An attraction between sodium and chloride still exists, however, and the dissociation can be described as an increase in bond length rather than a loss of the bond. Evaporate the water, though, and the sodium chloride crystals re-form. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.3

: Monosaccharides consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, in the ratio C:H:O of 1:2:1. Amino acids consist of a central carbon (CH), a carboxylic acid (COOH), an amine (NH2), and an organic side chain of variable structure (mainly a hydrocarbon chain, designated as R).

Confirm or refute what he has heard, and explain.
: People are composed of molecules, which are in turn composed of atoms. Each atom is mostly empty space, because the protons, neutrons, and electrons are extremely tiny, and the electrons are relatively distant from each other and from the nucleus. A scientist acknowledges that there is often a finite probability, however small, that a very unlikely event could happen. If all of each person's subatomic particles were aligned just right, they could move through the other person's empty atomic space. This is so unlikely as to be practically impossible, however.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 130) Define polar covalent, nonpolar covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonding. Which of these bonds involves more than one molecule? Which of these bonds is/are important in determining the properties of water? Explain.
: Polar covalent bonds occur within a single molecule that shares electrons unequally; i.e., the constantly orbiting electrons spend more time at some locations and less at others. Nonpolar covalent bonds occur within a single molecule that shares electrons equally; i.e., the probability of an electron occupying a particular location is the same at all locations. Ionic bonds occur within a single molecule in which one atom completely loses an electron to another, causing each to develop an opposite charge; it is this electrical attraction that holds the molecule together. Hydrogen bonding occurs between separate molecules that contain polar covalent bonds; where electrons spend more time the molecule is partially negative, and where electrons spend less time the molecule is partially positive. The ends of different molecules are thus electrically attracted to each other. Water is a polar covalent molecule, with the oxygen end being partially negative and attracted to the partially positive hydrogen portions of other water molecules. Hydrogen-bonding between water molecules is responsible for surface tension and the crystalline structure of ice. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.4

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 146) Using NaCl to illustrate, explain atomic mass and molecular mass, and an estimated and true mass of one molecule. Your explanation should include the appropriate measurement unit for each, and why the estimated and true masses are not exactly identical.
: The atomic mass is the actual mass of an atom, expressed in atomic mass units (amu) or daltons (Da), where 1 amu = 1.6 × 10-27 kg. Because most of the mass of an atom is contributed by the protons and neutrons, each of which is about 1 amu, the mass can be estimated by counting the number of these particles. The number of protons and neutrons is roughly equal, so the atomic number can simply be doubled to estimate the atomic mass. From the atomic number (see the periodic table) the estimated atomic mass of sodium is 22 amu and of chloride is 34 amu. The mass of a molecule (usually expressed in Da instead of amu) of NaCl is 22 + 34 = 56 Da. From the periodic table, the true weight of Cl is actually closer to 36 amu and of Na is 23 amu, so the true mass of NaCl is closer to 59 Da. There are two reasons why the estimated and actual are not the same: the mass of protons and neutrons is actually greater than one, and the number of neutrons may be more or less than double the number of protons.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 137) You are a student intern in the research and development department of a pharmaceutical company. You have discovered a compound that destroys the common cold virus in cultured human cells. Chemical characterization reveals that carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are present, in a 20:40:4 ratio of C:H:O. What chemical class is this compound? Experiments in rats show that neither oral nor injectable treatment with the compound was effective in destroying the virus. Discuss some possible reasons for this lack of effectiveness.
: The relatively low amount of oxygen and high carbon and hydrogen indicate that this compound is probably a lipid. Oral administration may result in digestion of the compound so that none is absorbed into the blood. Lipids are not highly soluble in water, and because blood is a watery medium, the injected lipid may not transport well in the blood. Also, human cells as well as the viruses may behave differently in culture compared to in a real patient. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.4

Dad has a tablespoon of water in one hand and a tablespoon of vegetable oil in the other, when he trips over the rug and spills both spoons on the countertop. Dad notices that the oil forms a thin film on the countertop, whereas spilled water forms smaller, taller beads. How should you explain the different behavior of these liquids to your dad?
: Water forms beads when it strikes a nonabsorptive surface because of surface tension resulting from the hydrogen bonds between neighboring water molecules. Vegetable oil molecules are nonpolar covalent, therefore there is no hydrogen bonding between the lipid molecules and no bead formation. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.3
: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Evaluation) 138) Describe what happens to NaCl when placed in water.
: Water molecules break the ionic bonds holding Na+ and Cl- together. Each sodium ion becomes surrounded by polar water molecules, with the electronegative ends of water molecules interacting with the ion. Each chloride ion also becomes surrounded by polar water molecules, but in this case it is the electropositive ends of the water molecules that bind to the ion. A consequence is that sodium and chloride ions can function relatively independently of each other when in solution. Section Title: Noncovalent Interactions Learning Outcome: 2.4
