EFFECTS OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (10244818) Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemical compounds that have high enough vapor pressures under normal conditions to significantly vaporize and enter the atmosphere. According to EPA ’s Terms of the Environment‚ a volatile organic compound is "any organic compound that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions except those designated by EPA as having negligible photochemical reactivity." VOC can also stand for the term “volatile

the most common pollutants in our indoor air. Some of the pollutants found inside your home are formaldehyde‚ benzene‚ toluene‚ trichloroethylene‚ and xylene. Formaldehyde is found in common cleaning products‚ toilet paper‚ tissues and personal care items. It is also found in new carpets and car exhaust. Benzene is found in glue‚ paint‚ plastics and detergents. Toluene is found in paint thinner‚ silicone sealants‚ adhesives‚ lacquers‚ and disinfectants. It can also be found in octane booster

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES TABLE See Attached Lab Notebook Copies REACTION MECHANISM In this lab we used multiple techniques to complete and verify the bromination of trans-stilbene. First technique we used was to reflux the mixture; this contains having the mixture boiling so it will evaporate while the condenser will recondense the solvent which is boiling off so the solvent may stay in the reaction.

Subject: Experiment 23: Stereochemistry of the Addition of Bromine to trans-Cinnamic Acid Introduction/Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to carry out the bromination of trans-cinnamic acid‚ to determine the stereochemistry of the dibromide product of 2‚3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid‚ and find out whether the reaction proceeds by the usual bromonium ion mechanism or some other mechanism. In this experiment trans-cinnamic acid was mixed with glacial acetic acid and stirred in which

Experimental Synthesis of Bupropion – A round bottom flask (RBF) containing m-chloropropiophenone (1.0 g‚ 5.9 mmol) dissolved in 5.0 mL dichloromethane (DCM) with 0.25 mL of 1.0 M Br2 in DCM was briefly warmed to initiate the bromination reaction. Afterwards‚ the RBF was placed in and ice-water bath and 1.0 M Br2 in DCM (6.0 mL‚ 6.25 mmol) was added dropwise while stirring. DCM was removed from the reaction by rotary evaporation. Next‚ tert-butylamine (5.0 mL‚ 47.6 mmol) and 5.0 mL of N-methylpyrrolidinone

UN 1076 – Phosgene HAZARDS: Phosgene is a highly toxic‚ irritating and corrosive gas. Inhalation can cause fatal respiratory damage. Phosgene reacts violently and decomposes to toxic compounds on contact with moisture‚ including chlorine‚ carbon monoxide and carbon tetrachloride. In case of skin contact: If liquid phosgene (below 8.2 deg C) contacts the skin or clothing‚ an inhalation exposure should be suspected. Hazards due to skin contact with the gas is unknown. Phosgene does‚ however‚ react

Tests for active unsaturation indicate that hexane‚ heptane‚ cyclohexane‚ benzene and toluene are saturated while cyclohexene is actively unsaturated. Hexane‚ heptane‚ benzene‚ and toluene are classified as aliphatic while cyclohexane‚ and cyclohexene are aromatic. All are not oxidized except for cyclohexene. I.
