Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) have become the greatest challenges to the preservation of the environment today. This group of chemicals is used in almost every sphere of life from industries‚ government institutions and domestically by both an ignorant and knowledgeable public. This paper aims to put to light examples of such compounds‚ look at the effect on the general populace and the environment and outline possible remedies to negative impacts. At the same time‚ it is important to look at

Classification of Organic Compound Keene Louise Topacio‚ Christopher Jay Robidillo Abstract The experiment focuses on how to classify organic compounds by its functional groups. It is done by preliminary test and with the solubility test. Preliminary test used two known compounds also the unknowns. Physical state‚ color‚ odor‚ and ignition test were noted. The known compounds are inorganic and organic compounds. A comparison is made from the observation in the unknown sample‚ by which we had concluded

Trice Riddle Mrs. Jennifer Sikes English 1020 11 February 2009 The Unknown Continent Many people know about it and have seen it on maps before but they still do not pay attention to detail or really care. People still say today that it is a country but it is a continent made up of countries. Many people describe it as the “dark continent” because it has not developed enough to be like an Asia or the Americas. Its hard to really discover what Africa is and how to define it. The land is rich

Purpose: I will identify an unknown liquid by obtaining an average density & boiling point for my liquid and comparing them with the known densities & boiling points of liquids in the CRC handbook of Chemistry & Physics. I will perform these experiments using three different measuring tools (graduated cylinder‚ burette & pipette) to evaluate the precision of each one. Results: Density 1‚ 2 & 3 calculated by using graduated cylinder to obtain volume. Density 4‚ 5 & 6 calculated by using volumetric

Sean Byrne Teacher Biology Honors 13 August 2014 Unit 1 Chapter 3 1) a. Monomers are small‚ simple molecules that when put together create carbon compounds‚ and polymers are molecules that consist of repeated units. b. Functional groups are made of clusters of atoms‚ while macromolecules are large polymers. c. A monosaccharide is a simple sugar‚ but a disaccharide is known as a double sugar‚ or two monosaccharaides. d. Long chains of amino acids are called polypeptides‚ and proteins are composed

Compounds First to define the word‚ compounds are pure substances made up of atoms of two or more elements chemically combined together in fixed ratios determined by mass. When a compound is formed from its components‚ a chemical change takes place through chemical reactions. Elements form compounds to become more stable‚ which happens when the maximum number of possible electrons are in the outermost energy level. Carbohydrates: A carbohydrate is one of the elements of the 5 major compounds

Identifying the Unknown Bacteria: Bacillus cereus Brittany Moy Coastline Community College Abstract Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive‚ facultative aerobic‚ spore-forming‚ rod-shaped bacterium that is widely distributed among the environment. Introduction The reason for identification of unknown bacteria was to help students recognize different bacteria through different biochemical tests and characteristics. This is important in the medical field because identification of unknown bacteria

I deem it very distinguished to stand before you at this instant to present my manifesto as an incoming school compound overseer for this grand institution of the ours. Human beings were created in God’s image and are all alike. However‚ different people from different places live differently‚ think differently and carry out different activities . Most of these are mainly based on the environment from

Coordination Compounds are compounds that contain at least one complex ion. Complex ion is an ionic species consisting of a metal ion bounded one or more Lewis bases. Coordination complex is the product of a Lewis acid-base reaction in which neutral molecules bond to a central metal atom by coordinate covalent bonds. A coordinate covalent bond is a covalent bond in which one atom supplies both electrons. Ligands are atoms or molecules with electron pairs available‚ and they may be neutral or negatively
