Are Organic Foods All They Are Hyped Up To Be: An Overview Of The Organic Food Industry Today‚ with cancer and obesity cases increasing quickly‚ people are turning their attention to the foods they are consuming. Such diets as the vegan‚ vegetarian‚ lacto-vegetarian‚ paleo‚ raw‚ and locavore are becoming more and more popular. The one thing these diets all have in common is the belief that organic foods are better than conventional foods. Similar to conventional foods‚ organic foods contain chemicals

the hype of organically grown food and saw it as another scheme companies had come up with to pilfer the paltry amount of money most individuals 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

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 acid. The overall reaction is shown in equation 1; however the mechanism of the reaction depends on the structure of the alkyl group bearing the functional group being replaced.

Identification of Unknown Organic Compounds by Melting Point‚ Boiling Point‚ and Infrared Spectroscopy Methods and Background The goal of this laboratory experiment was to determine the structure and identity of an unknown solid and an unknown liquid by using elemental analysis‚ index of hydrogen deficiency‚ infrared spectroscopy‚ melting point (for solid)‚ and boiling point (for liquid). In this laboratory‚ we were given unknown solid “C” and unknown liquid “D”. The empirical formula

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

Organic compound From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Methane is one of the simplest organic compoundsAn organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. For historical reasons discussed below‚ a few types of carbon-containing compounds such as carbonates‚ simple oxides of carbon and cyanides‚ as well as the allotropes of carbon such as diamond and graphite‚ are considered inorganic. The distinction between "organic"

Organic chemistry Organic chemistry is one of the ‘branches’ of chemistry and is seen as distinct from other branches‚ such as inorganic and physical chemistry. It can be described as the chemistry living processes (often referred to as biochemistry) but extends beyond that. It focuses almost entirely on the chemistry of covalently bonded carbon molecules and as well as life processes‚ it includes the chemistry of other types of compounds‚ including plastics‚ petrochemicals‚ drugs and paint
