Why is organic chemistry important? Organic compounds are used for many different things. Daily life in today’s world would be very hard to live in without organic compounds; in fact life would not be possible without organic compounds. For example‚ most of your body is made up of organic compounds. The food you eat is made up of organic compounds. Even the flavourings and colourings on processed food are organic. The clothes you wear are‚ yes you guessed it‚ organic as well. What’s more is that

than if one had the full amount in hand now to invest. The reason for this is opportunity cost. If the full amount of the annuity could be invested today in a lump sum‚ the final value during the same term of the annuity would be much higher due to compound interest. So opportunity cost in this case is the total amount of the annuity payments over the length of the annuity and the value of investing the annuity ’s total value today at a specified rate of return. For example‚ person is receiving annuity

A Compound Life Sugar Cane Alley was filmed during the summer of 1931 in Martinique a time after the abolishment of slavery. This film parallels a time in Southern Rhodesia where there was a compound system that controlled the mining workers just as the overseers in the cane fields controlled the cane workers. Every aspect of daily life is in some way controlled. Sugar Cane Alley is an insightful film that shows how no matter your environment‚ if you want to succeed you can with a lot of hard work

When elements combine to produce a compound‚ each element is assigned an “apparent” charge. This apparent charge‚ the charge an atom would have if both electrons in each bond were assigned to the more electronegative element‚ may be positive or negative. It is called the oxidation number or state of the element in the compound. Oxidation numbers are very useful in keeping track of what happens to electrons when various elements combine to form compounds. By remembering a few generalizations

body. A medicine is often a mixture of several chemical compounds. Even if it has only one active component compound often other substances are used as fillers or binders to give it bulk. Chemistry‚ the science related to chemical substances‚ provides us the tools to make and study the substances that are the constituents of almost all medicines. The past hundred years or so‚ ever since the advent of organic chemistry‚ many chemical compounds have been discovered in nature that are effective for curing

identify an unknown. In this experiment‚ measuring the melting point was done by using melting point apparatus. The melting point of the unknown sample #10 was 111.5˚C. There were two possible compounds which were dibenzoyl ethylene and o-Toluic acid because their melting points were 111.2˚C and 109.8˚C when each compound was mixed with the unknown. Therefore‚ the unknown #10 was dibenzoyl ethylene. Introduction The melting point is defined as the temperature at which the solid is in equilibrium with its

It is the chemistry of the compounds of carbon along with other elements such hydrogen as are found in living things and elsewhere. The organic compounds available to us today are those present in living things and those formed over millions of years from dead things. In earlier times‚ the organic compounds known from nature were those in the ‘essential oils’ that could be

BPA is used as a raw material in manufacturing polycarbonates and epoxy compounds. Polycarbonate plastic is a lightweight‚ high-quality plastic that has a unique balance of toughness‚ optical clarity‚ high heat resistance‚ and excellent electrical resistance. As a result of these traits‚ polycarbonate is used in an array of common
