the ground. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air to form carbohydrates that are used in the plant’s structure and function. In this process‚ leaves also absorb other air pollutants—such as ozone‚ carbon monoxide‚ and sulfur dioxide—and give off oxygen. By planting trees and shrubs‚ we return to a more natural‚ less artificial environment. Birds and other wildlife are attracted to the area. The natural cycles of plant growth‚

ACYL COMPOUNDS: SOAPS AND DETERGENTS Experiment # 8 I. Objectives To observe the general properties of carboxylic acids. To compare the acidity of carboxylic acids and phenols. To verify experimentally the interconversion among acyl compounds. To become familiar with the physical and chemical properties of fats and oils and to understand the chemical basis of these properties. To learn how to prepare soap. To compare the properties of soap and synthetic detergents. II. Data and

A P T E R 5 Basic Concepts from Organic Chemistry 5.1 | INTRODUCTION The fundamental information that environmental engineers and scientists need concerning organic chemistry differs considerably from that which the organic chemist requires. This difference is due to the fact that chemists are concerned principally with the synthesis of compounds‚ whereas environmental engineers and scientists are concerned‚ in the main‚ with how the organic compounds in liquid‚ solid‚ and gaseous wastes can

Identification of Unknown Organic Compounds by Melting Point‚ Boiling Point‚ and Infrared Spectroscopy Methods and Background The goal of this laboratory experiment was to determine the structure and identity of an unknown solid and an unknown liquid by using elemental analysis‚ index of hydrogen deficiency‚ infrared spectroscopy‚ melting point (for solid)‚ and boiling point (for liquid). In this laboratory‚ we were given unknown solid “C” and unknown liquid “D”. The empirical formula

Biochemical oxygen demand ( and COD) It is a measure of the amount of oxygen required by bacteria‚ algae‚ sediments and chemicals over a set period of time. BOD is of importance in aquaculture because microbial degradation of organic matter is a major sink for dissolved oxygen‚ a highly important parameter for

The two primary sources of organic compounds are oil and coal. Other sources of organic compounds are plants‚ animals‚ and microorganisms. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen. There are various classifications of hydrocarbons. Classification

Everything has some kind of reaction going on in our living area. It is just we do not get to see or realize that where n how we having our life much easier than it used to be. In these writing assignments‚ the topic is about the organic chemistry. In organic chemistry‚ we all have different kinds of compounds. In addition

Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry 1: Compounds Important to Life • Biologists classify compounds into organic compounds and inorganic compounds. Organic Compound: a compound that is derived from living things and contains carbon Inorganic Compound: a compound generally derived nonliving things • Water Water is an inorganic molecule with unique properties that make it one of the most important compounds for living things. In the water molecule (H2O)‚ the hydrogen and oxygen atoms bond

COrdination compounds Question 9.1: Explain the bonding in coordination compounds in terms of Werner’s postulates. =Werner’s postulates explain the bonding in coordination compounds as follows: (i) A metal exhibits two types of valencies namely‚ primary and secondary valencies. Primary valencies are satisfied by negative ions while secondary valencies are satisfied by both negative and neutral ions. (In modern terminology‚ the primary valency corresponds to the oxidation number of the metal
