Saturated triglycerides are solids at room temperature and are called “fats”.

butter fat, lard, vegetable shortening, beef tallow, etc.

Unsaturated triglycerides have lower mp’s than saturated triglycerides. Those that are liquids at room temperature are called “oils”. (All double bonds are cis-.)

Markovnikov’s Rule:

In der Hinzufügung einer Säure zu einem alkene wird der Wasserstoff zum Vinylkohlenstoff gehen, der schon den größeren Anzahl Wasserstoffe hat.

In the addition of an acid to an alkene the hydrogen will go to the vinyl carbon that already has the greater number of hydrogens.

Regla de Markovnikov:

En la adición iónica de un ácido al doble enlace de un alqueno, el hidrógeno de aquél se une al átomo de carbono que ya tiene el mayor número de hidrógenos.

“Al que tiene, le será dado.”

“El que tiene, recibirá.”

Dans l'addition d'un acide à un alcène l'hydrogène ira au carbone de vinyle qui a déjà le nombre plus grand de hydrogène.

intermolecular hydride (H:-) transfer

Internal combustion engine (four-stroke).

Also called an Otto engine.

1. Intake stroke: air/fuel mixture is drawn into the cylinder.

2. Compression stroke: air/fuel mixture is compressed.

Ignition of air/fuel mixture by spark at approximately 0o top dead center.

3. Power stroke: expanding gases push piston down driving crank shaft around.

4. Exhaust stroke: CO2 + H2O are pushed out of the cylinder.

<http://www.k-wz.de/vmotor/v_omotore.html>

http://www.k-wz.de/vmotor/v_omotore.html







Compression is the key to building a more powerful four-stroke engine. The more the air/fuel mixture is compressed prior to ignition, the more efficient is the conversion of heat energy into mechanical motion. Increasing the compression ratio =>

1. More powerful engine.

2. Lighter engine (greater power to weight ratio).

3. Greater fuel economy.

But, compression of the air/fuel mixture above a certain point causes “knocking”.

PV = nRT

T P

If, during compression of an air/fuel mixture, the temperature goes high enough, the mixture may explode prematurely.

A knocking sound is produced by an internal combustion engine when fuel ignites spontaneously and prematurely (pre-ignition) during the compression cycle in an engine’s combustion chamber. Consequently, the piston will be forced down when it should be traveling upwards on its compression stroke.

At best, knocking reduces the performance of the engine; at worst, it can damage the engine’s moving parts.

Fuel for four-stroke internal combustion engines:

Gasoline ( historically a waste product from the production of kerosene ).

Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons distilled from petroleum. It is mixed with air to form an explosive mixture.

Gasoline + (xs) O2, spark CO2 + H2O + heat

The fuel limits how high the compression ratio can be before the engine knocks.

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 knocks like crazy at

n-heptane low compression.

CH3 CH3

CH3CCH2CHCH3 resists knocking CH3

2,2,4-trimethylpentane ( “isooctane” )

Octane rating: a measure of the resistance of a fuel to knock in an internal combustion engine at high compression ratios. Determined by comparing the fuel to mixtures of:

n-heptane (octane number = 0)

and

2,2,4-trimethylpentane (octane number = 100)

in a test engine.

Tetraethyl lead, (CH3CH2)4Pb, was discovered to increase the octane rating of gasoline.

Lead is extremely toxic, especially in small children where exposure leads to nerve damage.

All gasoline in the US is now “lead free”.

Tetraethyl lead has been replaced by “alkylates” and catalytically reformed hydrocarbons.

Compression vs. Octane Number

5:1 72

6:1 81

7:1 87

8:1 92

9:1 96

10:1 100

11:1 104

12:1 108

Use the octane rating recommended by your car maker! Using a higher octane gasoline only puts more of your money into the fuel company’s pockets.

Terminating steps:

5) Br• + Br• Br2

Etc.

In a free radical addition to an alkene, the electrophilic free radical adds to the vinyl carbon with the greater number of hydrogens to form the more stable free radical.

In the case of HBr/peroxides, the electrophile is the bromine free radical (Br•).
