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

I. Abstract The common organic compounds provide us with nutrients are sugars and starches‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and lipids. In this lab‚ qualitative tests are performed to identify the presence of organic compounds in food using indicators‚ chemical substances that react in a certain way when a particular substance is present. We put one indicator into the each test tube containing different solutions at a time to see what organic compound is present. The color change in the indicator tells

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

Mrs. Feeney Biology 9 October 16‚ 2012 Identifying Organic Compounds Objective: To use indicators to test for the presence of organic compounds in certain substances. Theory: Major types of organic compounds in some common foods are Lipids‚ Carbohydrates‚ and Proteins. An indicator is a chemical compound that changes color and structure when exposed to certain conditions and is therefore useful for chemical tests. The purpose of using distilled water as one of the substances in the test

VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (10244818) Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemical compounds that have high enough vapor pressures under normal conditions to significantly vaporize and enter the atmosphere. According to EPA ’s Terms of the Environment‚ a volatile organic compound is "any organic compound that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions except those designated by EPA as having negligible photochemical reactivity." VOC can also stand for the term “volatile organic chemical”

Experiment H: Identification of an Unknown Organic Compound The objective of this lab was straightforward. We were given an unknown compound and we were to perform an IR spectroscopy and as well as NMR spectroscopy. With the IR spectroscopy‚ I was able to name the functional groups I have on my compound and further confirmed my assumptions by looking at the NMR spectroscopy after. The unknown number I was given was number 203. The molecular weight of the compound was 121. From the molecular weight‚ I

Alkyl Halides Alkyl halides are a class of compounds where a halogen atom or atoms are bound to an sp3 orbital of an alkyl group. CHCl3 (Chloroform: organic solvent) CF2Cl2 (Freon-12: refrigerant CFC) CF3CHClBr (Halothane: anesthetic) Halogen atoms are more electronegative than carbon atoms‚ and so the C-Hal bond is polarized. H H μ C + C-l δ δ H The C-X bond is polarized in such a way that there is partial positive charge on the carbon and partial negative charge on the halogen. Dipole moment
