Question
Beginning in 2006, Neil Donahue has modeled molecule distributions in organic aerosols by creating “basis sets” named for this quality. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this quality, which may be quantified with measures like Reid vapor pressure. Compounds with this quality evaporate easily at room temperature.
ANSWER: volatility [accept word forms like volatile; accept volatility basis sets; prompt on VBS]
[10m] A 2020 paper by Donahue applied volatility basis sets to radicals named for this functional group. Epoxidations and the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation are common uses of acids named for this functional group, like mCPBA.
ANSWER: peroxides [or peroxyacids or peracids; accept peroxy radicals]
[10h] The basis set approach has been applied to the most common secondary organic aerosol, which begins forming in air when alpha-pinene undergoes this reaction. This reaction’s intermediate is a five-membered ring that can be treated with DMS to yield ketones or aldehydes.
ANSWER: ozonolysis
