Jessica Robins Lab 3: Properties of Organic Compounds Introduction Distillation is a physical process used to separate chemicals from a mixture by how easy they vaporize. The temperature rises unit it reaches the temperature of the lowest boiling substance in the mixture while the other contents of the mixture remain in their original phase (until the most volatile substance has all boiled off) as it’s heated. Hot vapor results and passes into a condenser and is then converted to a liquid

Is Organic Food Worth Its Price? Organic farming began in the late 1940’s in the United States‚ and in recent years it has seen a dramatic increase in popularity (Rubin 1). The sales of organic food have been increasing by about 20 percent a year over the past decade (Marcus 1). That is over ten times the rate of their conventional counterparts (Harris 1). There are 10 million consumers of organic food in the United States‚ yet organic food represents only one percent of the nation’s food

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

Topic: The advantages and disadvantages of organic farming. In spite of organic farming’s unfortunate aspects‚ the number of farmers using this method is increasing due to its advantages. Such method of farming is of considerable benefit in the way that the issue of soil management can be effectively addressed. With organic farming‚ soil quality are maintained and fostered‚ which creates the best opportunity for farmers to take full advantage of soil for years. A further good point of this method
