Organic chemistry Organic chemistry is one of the ‘branches’ of chemistry and is seen as distinct from other branches‚ such as inorganic and physical chemistry. It can be described as the chemistry living processes (often referred to as biochemistry) but extends beyond that. It focuses almost entirely on the chemistry of covalently bonded carbon molecules and as well as life processes‚ it includes the chemistry of other types of compounds‚ including plastics‚ petrochemicals‚ drugs and paint

* Introduction to Organic Chemistry Understand the basis of drawing organic structures Depicting 3-D structures in 2-D Most organic compounds have a three-dimensional structure. How do we represent structures on our two-dimensional page? For example‚ methane is a tetrahedral molecule: Bonds in the plane of the paper: Bonds coming towards the observer: (out of the page) Bonds going away

Lab 5 Column Chromatography: Isolation of Lycopene from Tomato Paste Reading: Zubrick‚ pages 79-82‚ 127-130‚ 138-139‚ 141-143‚ and 235-240 Pre-lab: look up the structure of lycopene. Introduction: Lycopene is the red pigment in ripe tomatoes and‚ as an antioxidant‚ helps to fight certain cancers. In this lab you will isolate lycopene from tomato paste. To do this you will first extract carotenoid pigments from the paste and then use column chromatography to isolate the lycopene from

Abstract For the amount of aspirin in a commercial tablet to be determined‚ different solutions of acetylsalicylic acid mixed with NaOH were created at different concentrations. All the different solutions were then analysed using Novaspec photometer‚ which allowed for a graph to be created and a line of best fit to be made. The amount of aspirin in a commercial tablet was found to be 350mg. Introduction The molecular formula for aspirin‚ also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ is C9H8O4. It is most
