ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Carbon atoms: * Carbon-carbon bonds are not easily broken * Each carbon atom forms 4 covalent bonds * The C-H bond is almost non-polar Classifying organic compounds: * Number of carbon atoms in longest chain: meth‚ eth‚ prop‚ but‚ pent‚ hex‚ hept‚ oct‚ non‚ dec * If it is a branch: -yl; di‚ tri or tetra means there is more than one branch‚ ethyl means there are 2 carbons coming off the branch * If it is a ring of carbons put cyclo at the front of the

Are Aromatic Hydrocarbons Carcinogenic Aromatic hydrocarbons or arenes are hydrocarbons characterized by alternating double and single bonds between carbons. Benzene is the most common aromatic hydrocarbon‚ but there are some non-benzene based compounds called heteroarenes‚ where a carbon is replaced by an oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ or sulfur‚ that are also aromatic compounds. Aromatic hydrocarbons exist in our daily lives regardless if we recognize them or not. Aromatic hydrocarbons are ingested or

Department of Chemistry Extraction and Sublimation Experiment #4 10/02/13 Introduction Caffeine is a stimulant found in tea‚ coffee‚ cocoa‚ OTC medication‚ and cola drinks.It stimulates the brain and the central nervous system‚ so that a person feels less tired and more alert. The purpose of this lab is to determine the amount of caffeine in tea. The major component of tea is cellulose which is a polymer of glucose. Materials Lab coat Goggles Graduated cylinder 1 tea

Properties and Reactions of Hydrocarbons Abstract Introduction Hydrocarbons are organic materials that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms‚ these molecules can be saturated or unsaturated and acyclic‚ cyclic‚ or aromatic. In this experiment we used a variety of methods to examine the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons. The first experiment we tested a variety of solvents to see if they dissolved our alkane (Decalin). One would expect that non-polar solvents will dissolve

Since the Grignard reagent can easily react with water‚ all glassware including the 25 ml round bottom flask‚ magnetic stir bar‚ 3 and 5 ml conical vial‚ 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask‚ claisen adapter‚ drying tube and 5 glass pasteur pipets were first added to a 250mL beaker and placed in the oven for 30 minutes. After the completion of the thirty minutes‚ 0.150 g of shiny magnesium turnings and a stir bar was first added to the round bottom flask and the claisen adapter along with the drying tube packed

Department of Psychology‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Four organic samples: hexane‚ cyclohexene‚ napthalene and toulene were given to serve as reference standards to characterize and distinguish four unknown given samples. Nitration‚ bromine and basic oxidation testswere conducted to classify the different samples from being an aliphatic‚ or aromatic

CHEM 1211 L Principles of Chemistry Lab 16 February 2004 Lab Report 1 Introduction The purpose of this project is to identify an unknown organic acid (X) by conducting various experiments to determine the acid’s unique properties. By determining selected constant properties of the unknown and then comparing these properties to the constant properties of known substances‚ it is possible to identify an unknown substance. The properties used to identify the unknown must be intensive‚ or independent
