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

The Separation and Purification of Organic Compounds Sunshine Marie Introduction Each year‚ many thousands of new or unknown organic compounds are prepared or extracted from natural sources such as plants‚ fungi and animals. In order to identify an unknown organic compound or the components of a mixture of organic compounds‚ it is necessary firstly to separate and purify the compounds. At any given temperature‚ a certain number of molecules of a substance in the liquid state have sufficient

Part 1. Hydrocarbon Nomenclature From International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) General Form of IUPAC Nomenclature [branching substituent(s)] Root [Suffix] Rules: 1. Identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. This chain determines the parent name (root) of the alkane. The parent suffix for alkanes is‚ not surprisingly‚ -ane. For chains of equal length‚ pick the one with the most substituents. (Note: I number all possibilities going from left to right

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

Organic Chemistry II Laboratory (ABCT357) Although studying fundamental theories of chemistry in the class is important to understand the concept of chemistry‚ carrying out experiments to corroborate the theories is also important. It is very important for students to get used to experiments in order to speed up their experiments. Expt.1. Acetylation of α-D-glucopyranose Add slowly 2.5 g (0.014 mol) of powdered D-glucose in small portions (roughly in 7-10 portions and 5 min for each addition)
