CHEM 2123 and 2125 – Organic Chemistry Lab I and II GUIDELINES FOR WRITING LAB REPORTS INTRODUCTION Writing reports in organic chemistry lab may differ from the way it’s done in general chemistry. One goal of this course is to introduce you to the record keeping methods used in research labs. Such methods are designed to organize experimental data in a format similar to that required for publication in major scientific journals. Here are some important considerations that apply in research settings

stopped being an organic vegetarian since. It helped me become more disciplined in planning and calculating my essential nutrition; I ate plenty of veggies‚ fruit‚ legumes‚ nuts‚ and grains. My metabolism rose‚ I lost 10% body fat‚ just from eliminating meat from my diet I felt‚ and was healthier. Becoming an organic vegetarian will not only improve your health but this lifestyle will make you happier overall. Many people argue that going on a plant-based diet‚ especially organic will be too costly

However‚ outsourcing has been seen as unethical; it creates less jobs for Americans and there are very poor working conditions for these foreign workers. In the case of Carly LeBlanc and her decision on whether to buy locally or outsource and buy from foreign

Esterification Lab Introduction Esterification is an important part of organic chemistry that has many practical applications. Esterification can be used to make polymers. In most cases‚ esters are used for scents – they often smell fruity and sweet. In general‚ an esterification reaction results from a condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. The carboxylic acid group loses an OH group‚ and the alcohol loses and H. For instance‚ the reaction between methanoic acid and methanol

concerning the benefits of organic food. Is organic food better than non-organic? To answer these questions we should consider the many benefits of consumption and production of organic food. I think organic food is the way to go‚ because the methods of production are in harmony with nature and generally these products meet very high standards. There are a lot of advantages of organic food consumption‚ and many important advantages of organic food production. Organic farming is a system which takes

It is not soluble to normal petroleum solvents‚ like carbon disulfide. Its chemical composition is 75% C‚ 10% H‚ 15% other (sulfur‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ etc.). It is very important in the formation of hydrocarbons because it is what generates

Wesley Alderfer 5/10/2014 The Fight on Labeling Whole Foods is the leading distributor of organic produce in the United States. Whole Foods also is leading the “labeling war” on genetically modified food being sold grocery stores. Whole Foods is trying to become a “game changer” by becoming the first store in the United States to require labeling of the genetically modified produce sold in its stores. President of Whole Foods A.C Gallo commented that “some of our manufactures say they’ve seen a
