INTRODUCTION The declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation led to the disruption of effective teaching and learning in many schools in South Africa. The majority of learners in various grades spent less time in class due to the phased-in approach and rotational/ alternate attendance system that was implemented by various provinces. Consequently, the majority of schools were not able to complete all the relevant content designed for specific grades in accordance with the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements in most subjects. As part of mitigating against the impact of COVID-19 on the current Grade 12, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) worked in collaboration with subject specialists from various Provincial Education Departments (PEDs) developed this Self-Study Guide. The Study Guide covers those topics, skills and concepts that are located in Grade 12, that are critical to lay the foundation for Grade 12. The main aim is to close the pre-existing content gaps in order to strengthen the mastery of subject knowledge in Grade 12. More importantly, the Study Guide will engender the attitudes in the learners to learning independently while mastering the core cross-cutting concepts. 2
About the Study Guide This document was developed to assist grade 12 learner who are studying remotely (at home). This document forms part of the series to be distributed Department of Education Grade 12 learners who are currently taking Technical Sciences as one of their subjects. The document deals with topics in Paper 2. The topics are: Organic Chemistry and Electrochemistry. What to find in this document? Short notes with illustrations (images, pictures, diagrams). x Definitions of terms x Worked out examples – some of the examples are taken directly from previous formal assessment tasks (Common Assessment tasks) from different Provinces. x Solutions with brief notes or explanations of what to do and how to obtain a correct answer. 3
SECTION 1 Organic Molecules Chapter Summary Physical Properties Functional Group Organic Reactions ORGANIC Structural Homologous Formulae MOLECULES Series IUPAC: Molecular Formulae Naming & Formulae Plastic & Polymers Isomers HYDROCARBONS: Alkanes Alkenes Alkynes Saturated: single Carbon-Carbon Unsaturated: one or more multiple Carbon-Carbon bonds (Doue or Triple bonds) (-C-C-) bonds ONLY 4
1.1 Definitions Table 1: Definitions Concept Description /Explanation x Organic molecules are molecules containing carbon atoms. x Homologous series is a series of organic compounds that can be described by the same general formula and where each member differs from the next by a -CH2 group. x General formula is an expression used to indicate the distribution of atoms in an organic compound in a homologous series. x Functional group is an atom or a group of atoms that determine the chemistry of a molecule. OR an atom or a group of atoms that determine(s) the physical and chemical properties of a group of organic compounds. x Hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing ONLY hydrogen and carbon atoms only. x Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain covalent double or triple bonds between the carbon atoms x Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single covalent bonds between carbon atoms Note: x Key words should be taken into consideration in definitions. x Definitions should be written as they appear in the Examination Guidelines. How to represent Organic Molecules x Structural formulae and /or Molecular formulae are used to represent Organic Molecules. You must be able to write Molecular and Structural Formulae of Organic Molecules up to Six (6) Carbon (C ) atoms 5
Table 2: Structural Formula & Molecular Formula Structural formulae Molecular formulae x show which atoms are attached to which within the x indicate the type of atoms and correct molecule. number of each in a molecule. x atoms are represented by their chemical symbols Example: x lines are used to represent ALL the bonds that hold the atoms together. Example: Structural formula of Butane Molecule Molecular Formula Butane C4H10 Ethanoic acid C2H4O2 Tips on drawing/writing structural formulae. x Make sure that carbon atom is surrounded by 4 bonds (not more, not less). x All bonds must be drawn. x Hydrogen atoms should not be omitted. x Functional group should be placed at the correct position. x Use a general formula to generate the molecular formula. N.B: x When asked to write molecular formula, do not draw the structural formula. x Learners will be penalized if they write molecular formula instead of structural formula. Worked Example Write down whether the following examples are showing the molecular formula or the structural formula for the organic compound. Table 3: Worked example on formulae. A. B.

1.5 IUPAC Naming and Formulae Table 9:RULES OF NAMING ORGANIC MOLECULES: Step 1: Identify the number of carbon atoms in the parent chain of the organic compound. x The following prefixes are used: Number of Prefix Carbon atoms 1 Meth- Parent chain: is the longest 2 Eth- continuous chain of carbon 3 Prop- atoms. 4 But- 5 Pent- 6 Hex- Step 2: Number the carbons in the parent chain. x Start with the carbon at the end closest to the functional group. x Functional group must have the lowest possible number. Step 3: Identify the functional group of a homologous series in the compound. x This will determine the suffix of the name. Table 10: Suffixes. Homologous series Suffix Alkanes -ane Alkenes -ene Functional group: an Alkynes -yne atom or a group of Alcohols -ol atoms that determine Aldehydes -al Ketones -one Carboxylic acids -oic acid Esters -oate 11
Table 11: Prefixes Homologous Series: is a group of Homologous series prefix organic compounds that can e x Bromo described by the same general Halo-alkane x Chloro x Fluoro formula and where each member x Methyl- differs from the next by a CH2 group. Ester x Ethyl- x Propyl- Step 4: Identify any branched groups: alkyl groups. x Name the branched groups by counting the number of carbon atoms in the branched group, these groups will all end in -yl. i.e. methyl and ethyl’ x Note the position of the branched group on the main carbon chain. x If there is more than one of the same type of branched group, then: 9 both numbers must be listed (e.g. 2,4 -) followed by di for two and tri for three. NB: If the molecule is an alkane the branched group must be on the carbon with the lowest possible number. x The branched groups must be listed before the name of the main chain in alphabetical order. (ignoring: di / tri / tetra). 1.6 Naming of Haloalkanes Step 1: When naming Haloalkanes, the halogen atoms do not get preference over alkyl groups. Step 2: Numbering should start from the end nearest to the first substituent, either the alkyl group or the halogen. Step 3: In Haloalkanes, where for example, a Br and a &Ɛ have the same number when numbered from different ends of chain, Br gets alphabetical preference. Step 4: When an alkyl group is a substituent in a molecule, it should be treated as a substituent. Table 12: Summary of naming organic compounds Longest continuous carbon Determines the name of the parent chain chain whether prop /but/ hex Prefix substituent/branch (position included where necessary) suffix Functional group Repeating substituent di/tri 12

Unit 4: Galvanic Cell A galvanic (voltaic) cell as an electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy to electrical energy. (Spontaneous cell). 4.1. Components of a Galvanic Cell Explanation x In the zinc-copper cell, the copper and zinc plates are called the electrodes. x The electrode where oxidation occurs is called the anode, and the electrode where reduction takes place is called the cathode. x In the zinc-copper cell, the zinc plate is the anode and the copper plate is the cathode. x Two half cells are connected to an external wire (electrons flow towards the cathode) AND a salt bridge (anions migrate towards the anode and the cations migrate towards the cathode) 4.2 Functions of a Salt Bridge: 9 Completes the circuit. 9 Ensures electrical neutrality(Allows movement of ions between the electrolytes, i.e. it acts as an ion exchanger) 9 Keeps the two electrolytes in the two half-cells separate so that they do not mix. 4.3 Reduction and Oxidation half reactions x A redox reaction can be broken up into an oxidation half-reaction and a reduction half-reaction. x The one half-reaction must show a gain of electrons and the other reaction must show a loss of electrons. x For every oxidation, there has to be a reduction, and vice versa. x A half-reaction cannot occur on its own. In a Zinc/copper cell: The half-reaction that takes place at the zinc plate is: Zn ĺZn2+ + 2eí (Oxidation half reaction) The half-reaction that takes place at the copper plate is: Cu2+ + 2eíĺCu (Reduction half reaction) The overall reaction is: Zn + Cu2+ Híĺ=Q2+ + Cu + 2eí or, if we cancel the electrons: Zn + Cu2+ĺZn2+ + Cu 45

ATTACHMENTS Differences between Galvanic Cell and Electrolytic Cell Galvanic Cell Electrolytic Cell A Galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. An electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy. Here, the redox reaction is spontaneous and is responsible for the production of electrical energy. The redox reaction is not spontaneous and electrical energy has to be supplied to initiate the reaction. The two half-cells are set up in different containers, being connected through the salt bridge or porous partition. Both the electrodes are placed in a same container in the solution of molten electrolyte. Here the anode is negative and cathode is the positive electrode. The half-reaction at the anode is oxidation and that at the cathode is reduction. Here the anode is positive and cathode is the negative electrode. The half-reaction at the anode is oxidation and that at the cathode is reduction. The electrons are supplied by the species getting oxidized. They move from anode to the cathode in the external circuit. The external battery supplies the electrons. They enter through the cathode and come out through the anode. 90
