have in their pocket. To be frank‚ organically grown food isn’t nutritionally better than regular foods; in fact‚ some regular foods can be genetically modified to have higher concentrations of nutrients so organic loses in that regard. However‚ one of the main reasons why I advocate for organic food (if you have the means) is that its safer for your long term health and below are my reasons why. Two years ago I wrote a research paper on the environment‚ genetically modified crops and crops

Jenkins Research Paper Labeling Organic Products. If somebody hands you a bottle of arsenic would you drink it or eat it? Would you give it to your kids and family? The correct answer would be no‚ but if for some very strange reason you answer is yes I suggest you go get help as soon as possible. As most of us know arsenic is poison which means it is bad. Did you know non-organic foods contain arsenic? Arsenic is used by farmers as pesticide and fertilizer; now we all know that if someone ever

Organic mulches help reduce erosion and conserve water. They also help moderate soil temperatures and discourage weeds‚ helping tomato plants grow larger and healthier. While it’s possible to buy commercial material for this purpose‚ converting fallen leaves into natural homemade mulch is both more environmentally friendly and less costly. Papaya leaves are an especially good choice due to their large size and potential insect-repellent abilities. Collection The average papaya leaf stays on the

Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction: In this lab the synthesis‚ purification‚ and characterization of isoamyl acetate‚ or banana oil‚ was determined. The synthesis was completed by a reversible esterification reaction which required the heating of glacial acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol‚ combined with a sulfuric acid catalyst in hexane. In order to increase the efficiency of the reaction‚ LeChatelier’s Principle is utilized by removing water from the products. As a result‚ the reaction

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

INTRODUCTION Cotton is a soft‚ fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll‚ or protective capsule‚ around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. The botanical purpose of cotton fiber is to aid in seed dispersal. The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world‚ including the Americas‚ Africa‚ and India. The fiber most often is spun into yarn or thread and used to make
