stereochemistry General Concepts The most common of the variety of methods available for preparing alkyl halides is the replacement of the hydroxyl group of an alcohol. This type of reaction is representative of an important class of reactions in organic chemistry called nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reactions. There are numerous ways of doing this transformation‚ and we will discuss these in lecture. In this experiment you will convert an alcohol to an alkyl halide by reaction with a hydrohalic

Although many people cant tell the difference‚ there are multiple pros and cons between organic and nonorganic. In terms of consumer health‚ both organic and processed foods have their benefits. The benefits of processed foods are that scientists can

impurities have on the melting point of an organic compound? Soluble impurities affect the melting point of a solid in the following manner. a. The presence of an impurity in the molten compound reduces its vapor pressure thus lowering the melting point of the compound. b. Broaden the melting point range. 2. For what tow purpose are melting points routinely used a. To determine the identity of an organic solid. b. To determine the purity of an organic solid. 3. What effects on the measured melting

EXERCISE 5 PHYTOGRAPHY: THE FRUIT Name: JOHN REY CORPUZ Score: Date:APRIL 2‚ 2013 Section: I. INTRODUCTION The fruit is a matured ovary containing one or more seeds. It is composed of the exocarp‚ mesocarp and the endocarp. Many floral parts aside from the ovary are persistent and therefore could still be seen in mature fruits. Some examples are the receptacles (apple‚ sepals (eggplant)‚ style (corn) and many more. There are several variations of the

Mrs. Mercer Hon. English 1 13 February 2012 Organic Farming “Pesticide residues have been ranked among the top three environmental cancer risks by the American government” (Cleeton). This startling statistic fuels some of the arguments between organic farming and conventional farming. Although organic products cost more‚ they have many benefits to humans and rural societies. Organic farming is better than conventional farming because of the benefits to the natural environment‚ the methods

educational text‚ Jenny Ridgwell states‚ “Many supermarkets stock a range of ‘organic’ foods; these are normally more expensive than other foods‚ since it is more difficult to match the volume of perfect fruits and vegetables that are produced by intensive farming. Organic foods are grown using traditional methods of faming without artificial fertilisers‚ pesticides or intensive growing systems. People who eat organic food believe that it tastes better and that it is better for the environment.”

Organic farming provides not only an alternative safe and healthy farming model‚ but a way to correct the flaws in our current system. There are many benefits of organic foods and organic farming. Organic foods are free of harmful chemicals‚ artificial flavors‚ and preservatives. Conventional farmers use over 300 different pesticides to grow non-organic foods.
