agriculture were portrayed as beneficial. Two main critiques that will flow throughout is the overall cost-benefit analysis was not taken into account and the level of implementation of the positive aspects. One area of modern farming promoted by the affirmative is factory farming. The intention of this method is the increase output of livestock through concentrating the area used and more closely watching over the animals. However‚ studies of the implementation of this highlights severe ethical‚ humanitarian

how they may be manipulated and changed. Although organic reactions have been conducted by man since the discovery of fire‚ the science of Organic chemistry did not develop until the turn of the eighteenth century‚ mainly in France at first‚ then in Germany‚ later on in England. By far the largest variety of materials that bombard us are made up of organic elements. The beginning of the Ninetieth century was also the dawn of chemistry‚ all organic substances were understood as all being materials

Organic Food: Is It Really Better? Americans usually do not think about what they eat. We do not acknowledge whether it is locally grown‚ sustainably raised‚ grass-fed‚ and free-range or pesticide free. Americans fail to realize the negative effects from the harmful pesticides‚ hormones‚ dyes and preservatives that are in our food. Conventional foods are produce that is grown with the use of many harsh chemicals before it is put into a supermarket. (The food we eat conventionally was meant to

more and more of our “private information” to big corporations. In ‘Feed’‚ the novel by M.T. Anderson‚ we are taken a step towards our possible future‚ where computers have become so integral to our society that they are now implanted in our heads‚ connected to our brains. This is called the feed. While this seems like a wonderful innovation‚ Anderson reveals the detriment all this new technology is causing our society. The feed‚ and inventions like it‚ are causing the collapse of our culture‚ the

reactions‚ SN1 and SN2‚ are identified based on whether the different steps occur simultaneously (SN1) or in two separate steps (SN2). To synthesize the t-butyl chloride‚ the t-butyl alcohol goes through an SN1 reaction. Also‚ the nature of the solvent can affect which substitution reaction will occur. Polar protic solvents typically favor SN1 reactions. This is because the SN1 mechanism is carried out in two steps and the polar protic solvent produces both a cation and an anion which are capable of stabilizing

Four elements‚ hydrogen‚ carbon‚ oxygen and nitrogen‚ are the major components of most organic compounds. Consequently‚ our understanding of organic chemistry must have‚ as a foundation‚ an appreciation of the electronic structure and properties of these elements. The truncated periodic table shown above provides the orbital electronic structure for the first eighteen elements (hydrogen through argon). According to the Aufbau principle‚ the electrons of an atom occupy quantum levels or orbitals starting

EXPERIMENT 5- A FISCHER ESTERIFICATION SYNTHESIS OF PEAR OIL One of the major uses of Esterification (C(=O)-C-R) is forming compounds with different odors which can be used to make different synthetic and natural flavorings. Using the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds‚ an ester was catalyzed from the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol‚ producing an odor similar to that of pear oil. The mechanism of this Fischer- Esterification process is outlined as follows:

Is Organic Food Worth Its Price? Organic farming began in the late 1940’s in the United States‚ and in recent years it has seen a dramatic increase in popularity (Rubin 1). The sales of organic food have been increasing by about 20 percent a year over the past decade (Marcus 1). That is over ten times the rate of their conventional counterparts (Harris 1). There are 10 million consumers of organic food in the United States‚ yet organic food represents only one percent of the nation’s food
