Activities For Carbon Compounds
Carbon Compounds
Activity 1: Organic Compounds: Are they Useful?
Objective: Recognize the uses of common organic compounds.
Materials:
paper and pen, pentel pen, manila paper
Labels or Pictures of the following products: gasoline, acetone, kerosene, acetic acid, LPG, ethanol
Procedure:
1) With your group mates, use the labels/pictures of the materials to answer the following questions:
a.) Complete the table about the uses of the compounds. Indicate using a check mark the uses of compounds.
Table 1. Organic Compounds and their Uses
Organic Compounds

Acetone
LPG
Kerosene
Acetic Acid
Uses
Beverage

Fuel
Cleaner
b.) What do you think are the characteristics of the materials, which give their uses?
Carbon Compounds
Activity No. 2: Properties of Common Organic Compounds
Every kind of organic compound has specific properties or characteristics. Although these compounds may show similarities in some properties, each of these compounds does not have exactly the same properties.
Gasoline, kerosene, diesel oil, lubricating oil, vanillin, acetic acid, and ethyl alcohol are organic compounds with different properties. Gasoline, for example, has a strong odor, is volatile, and highly flammable. In this activity, you will find out about the properties namely odor, viscosity, volatility and flammability of some other common organic compounds.
Odor is the smell of the compound. Every compound has its own specific odor. Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow. Volatility is the measure of the tendency of a compound to evaporate or turn into gaseous state. Flammability is the measure of how a material easily burns.
I. Objectives:
1.) Observe the properties of common organic compounds; and
2.) Relate these properties to their uses.
II. Materials: kerosene stop watch 4 pieces of half inch-plastic beads lubricating oil paper and pen 4 pieces of ¼
