Effects of Organic Food on Drosophila Melanogaster A new study has shown that fruit flies that lived on organic foods tended to be healthier than those that lived on conventional foods. The two things that researchers based their conclusions for health on were fertility and longevity. These two things are two important aspects to a fly’s life. On both of these tests‚ the flies that were fed organic food performed better than the flies that were fed conventional food. They survived for a longer

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

impurities have on the melting point of an organic compound? Soluble impurities affect the melting point of a solid in the following manner. a. The presence of an impurity in the molten compound reduces its vapor pressure thus lowering the melting point of the compound. b. Broaden the melting point range. 2. For what tow purpose are melting points routinely used a. To determine the identity of an organic solid. b. To determine the purity of an organic solid. 3. What effects on the measured melting
