Does Buying Local Organic Grown Foods Help the Environment? Buying locally grown organic foods helps us have a cleaner and healthier environment. Getting local organic foods rather than conventional foods reduces the carbon footprint that conventional foods bring about. This means that your food travels a lot less distance than other foods would. It has been said‚ that on average‚ a fresh food item travels about 1‚500 miles just to get to our plate. That is just one item; imagine how many miles

ORGANIC MACROMOLECULES 1. What is a polymer? 2. Man-made polymers have been studied since 1832. Today‚ the polymer industry has grown to be larger than the aluminum‚ copper and steel industries combined. Polymers already have a range of applications that far exceeds that of any other class of material available to man. Give examples where polymers are applied in each of these categories: a) Agriculture b) Medicine c) Consumer Science

* Introduction to Organic Chemistry Understand the basis of drawing organic structures Depicting 3-D structures in 2-D Most organic compounds have a three-dimensional structure. How do we represent structures on our two-dimensional page? For example‚ methane is a tetrahedral molecule: Bonds in the plane of the paper: Bonds coming towards the observer: (out of the page) Bonds going away

educator Friedrich Froebel designed‚ the organic unity of a Japanese building Wright saw at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893‚ and a Jeffersonian belief in individualism and populism. Always a believer in architecture as "natural" and "organic‚" Wright saw it as serving free individuals who have the right to move within a "free" space‚ envisioned as a nonsymmetrical design interacting spatially with its natural surroundings. He sought to develop an organic unity of planning‚ structure‚ materials

Premium Acid dissociation constant PH Carboxylic acid
CLASSIFICATION TESTS A. Acids There are relatively few suitable tests for carboxylic acids. Classification is based mostly upon solubility tests. If the compound is water soluble‚ test the aqueous solution of your compound with pH paper (also check the pH of the original water). If the compound is water-insoluble and it dissolves in 5% (1.5M) sodium hydroxide and 5% NaHCO3 solutions as performed in your solubility tests‚ it can be classified as a carboxylic acid. Establish an equivalence value

(in the second centrifuge tube). Now wash (microscale) the combined extracts with saturated NaCl solution (5mL)‚ then with 10% aqueous potassium carbonate (5mL)‚ then with saturated NaCl solution (5 mL) again. Dry the organic layer with anhydrous sodium sulfate. Decant the organic layer into a small beaker and concentrate to roughly 0.2 mL by evaporation in the hood (do not apply heat!). If the sample goes to dryness‚ re-dissolve in hexane (0.2 mL). *Set aside a small amount of your crude
