took my first chemistry class I became mesmerized with the field of chemistry. The idea that I could start with one molecule and change it into a completely different compound both fascinated and thrilled me. I was at a predicament‚ on one hand I wanted to study medicine to help people‚ but I was far more interested in and passionate about the chemical processes and reactions. This changed when I took my first organic chemistry class. I want to make a career by applying chemistry to medicine and

How It Is Synthesized Methamphetamine was first synthesized from ephedrine in Japan in 1893 by chemist Nagai Nagayoshi. In 1919‚ crystallized methamphetamine was synthesized by Akira Ogata via reduction of ephedrine using red phosphorus and iodine. Synthesis is relatively simple‚ but entails risk with flammable and corrosive chemicals‚ particularly the solvents used in extraction and purification; therefore‚ illicit production is often discovered by fires and explosions caused by the improper

Why is organic chemistry important? Organic compounds are used for many different things. Daily life in today’s world would be very hard to live in without organic compounds; in fact life would not be possible without organic compounds. For example‚ most of your body is made up of organic compounds. The food you eat is made up of organic compounds. Even the flavourings and colourings on processed food are organic. The clothes you wear are‚ yes you guessed it‚ organic as well. What’s more is that

Exercise 1 Polymers – An introduction to Organic Chemistry Group 3 Jude Marchoni C. Tampus Meryl Marie Susan Chua Pearl Pontillas Paolo Pepito Gaia Casas I. Abstract: (Paolo) In this experiment we will be testing what would happen to the polymer when we add borax to it. A polymer is a compound made up of large molecules often in a solid state. Polymers are chemically formed by 100 to 10‚000 small molecules called "monomers". Monomers occur in molecular units or patterns

CLASSIFICATION TESTS FOR ORGANIC HALIDES James Anand L. Regala‚ Sabrina Nicolle G. Sarte‚ Ann Michelle Siao‚ Michael Sibulo‚ Victoria Tan Group 8 2C Pharmacy Organic Chemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT This experiment is done to classify organic halides. Most organic halides are synthetic and are not flammable. One way to classify organic halides is by classifying its -carbon atom as primary‚ secondary or tertiary. If the -carbon is attached to one R group‚ it is then primary. If the -carbon is
