1.1 CHEMISTRY 2213a ORGANIC CHEMISTRY FOR THE LIFE SCIENCES - organic chemistry is the study of life at the molecular level; to many it is the key to understanding life “The language of chemistry- an international language‚ a language without dialects‚ a language for all of time‚ and a language that explains where we came from‚ what we are‚ and where the physical world will allow us to go” (Nobelist Arthur Kornberg‚ a biochemist‚ 2000) - but its study has been challenging for students for

Water is never ’pure’ in a chemical sense. It contains various kinds of impurities such as dust particles‚ dissolved gases‚ dissolved minerals‚ microscopic paints and animals‚ suspended impurities and bacteria. These are natural impurities derived from the atmosphere‚ catchments area and soil. Besides this‚ there are various other reasons by which water i9 polluted. The upland surface water derives its impurities from the catchments area‚ the sources being human habitations and animal keeping

Saturated hydrocarbons are characterized by single bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. Saturated hydrocarbons are alkanes and cycloalkanes‚ this compounds are relatively inert and do not react with common laboratory reagents. Alkanes do‚ however react with oxygen‚ halogens and other substances under control conditions. All members of alkane series have the general chemical formula CnHn-1. Alkanes are insoluble in water; other physical properties vary with molecular weight. Members C1 to C4 are gasses at

Hydrogenation of an alkene will yield an alkane. The alkane formed by hydrogenation of (S)-4-methyl-1-hexene (I) is optically active‚ while the one formed by hydrogenation of (S)-3-methyl-1-pentene (II) is not. Explain. I II 6.

Preparation Of Triphenylmethanol Objectives 1. To study the preparation of triphenylmethanol using through Gridnard reaction 2. To study the operations of anhydrous reaction‚ water vapor distillation. Principles Alcohol is widely used in organic chemistry‚ not only as solute but also as intermediate to synthesize halide‚ alkene‚ ether‚ aldehyde and ketone etc. In laboratory‚ an important method of synthesizing alcohol is though the addition reaction of Gridnard reagent and carbonyl compound‚ whereas

Lab #24- Preparation 4-Methylcyclohexene Introduction: The goals in this lab were to have a reaction occur with 4-methylcyclohexanol and an acid catalyst to form our product of 4-methylcyclohexene via an E1 reaction. This reaction is accomplished by removing the –OH group on 4-methylcyclohexanol via dehydration and to have a double bond form via a loss of a hydrogen on a β-Carbon. Many techniques and skills were developed in this lab. Among them were dehydration‚ isolation‚ drying

organic compounds that consist of only C and H atoms. They include the alkanes‚ alkenes‚ alkynes‚ and aromatic hydrocarbons. Because of their relatively non-polarity‚ all hydrocarbons are insoluble in water. When hydrocarbons burn in sufficient oxygen‚ carbon dioxide and water are the sole products. The main structural difference among hydrocarbon families is the presence of double or triple bonds between carbon atoms. The alkanes are saturated organic compounds‚ or those with only single bonds.
