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

“Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules”. Proteins are “Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen”(Miller‚ Kenneth R.‚ and Joseph S. Levine 48). Macromolecules are exceedingly large molecules that can be made up of several lesser molecules called proteins. These proteins are made up of numerous amino acids‚ which are “Compounds with an amino group (-NH2) on one end

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

Identification of Unknown Organic Compound by Melting Point (M.P)‚ Boiling Point (B.P) and Infrared Spectroscopy Methods and Background The main objective of this lab is to identify the given unknown organic compounds with various methods. Identification of an unknown compound is important to perform through the process of melting point (M.P)‚ boiling point (B.P) and Infrared spectroscopy (I.R). Index of Hydrogen deficiency (IHD) and elemental analysis makes an experiment more efficient in

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

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

COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Abstract Organic compunds were examined to a comparative investigation to differentiate the properties of each sample. The physical state at room temperature‚ odor and color of the sample were noted by simple observation. In terms of solubility in H2O‚ 5% NaOH solution and 5% HCl solution‚ the samples were classified as to miscible‚ slightly immiscible or immiscible for liquid; and very soluble‚ soluble‚ partially soluble or insolubse for solid. The

AND PURIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AIMS: To isolate organic‚ inorganic and component from a given sample. To become acquainted with various separation methods. To examine the solubility behavior of the various compounds in a mixture using different solvents. INTRODUCTION A commonly used method of separating a mixture of organic compounds is known as liquid-liquid extraction. Most reactions of organic compounds require extraction at

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
