Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry 1: Compounds Important to Life • Biologists classify compounds into organic compounds and inorganic compounds. Organic Compound: a compound that is derived from living things and contains carbon Inorganic Compound: a compound generally derived nonliving things • Water Water is an inorganic molecule with unique properties that make it one of the most important compounds for living things. In the water molecule (H2O)‚ the hydrogen and oxygen atoms bond

Abstract: When ionic compounds are dissolved in water‚ they break apart into ions. In this lab the opportunity to mix two ionic solutions and observe the results was given. Some ions will remain dissolved and uncombined in the solution even when they are mixed with other ions. When other ions are mixed‚ they form compounds that appear as cloudy or grainy precipitates. The objective of this lab was to observe the formation of compounds and to write the names and formulas of ionic compounds. It is also

Measuring the Melting Points of Compounds and Mixtures Introduction This exercise dealt with the melting points of pure mandelic acid and benzoic acid. The eutectic temperature and composition of mandelic and benzoic acid mixtures were determined. And finally‚ an unknown was identified by its mixtures and melting point. The melting point of a compound is used by organic chemists not only to identify the compound‚ but also to establish its purity. To determine the melting point two temperatures were

properties‚ including the boiling point‚ density‚ and refractive index were measured for unknown liquid #16. The infrared (IR) spectrum of the compound was also taken. Based on the data collected‚ it was determined that the compound was likely to be salicylaldehyde. Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to determine the identity of an unknown organic liquid by measuring some of its physical properties. The properties were then compared to those of known compound to make an identification

Organic compound From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Methane is one of the simplest organic compoundsAn organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. For historical reasons discussed below‚ a few types of carbon-containing compounds such as carbonates‚ simple oxides of carbon and cyanides‚ as well as the allotropes of carbon such as diamond and graphite‚ are considered inorganic. The distinction between "organic"

Kirby June 6‚ 2013 Title: Extraction of an Unknown Compound Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a mixture of two or more unknown compounds and identify them based on their melting point and reactivity with an acid or a base. Compound studied/Reactions: The organic solvent used in this experiment was methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE‚ 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane). The unknown that dissolved in the MTBE‚ but was insoluble in water. MBTE is very volatile and flammable. It was determined
