this compound is organic,and we can use it instead of acetic or formic acids ....dr henry please help me i am your student...

why dont you go to his office and ask him instead of posting in web?

wow, well put mrjeffy! I have one thing to add though. Because all acids and bases are electrolytes, you can use pH to determine what is and isn't an electrolyte in a solution. If it come out as acidic or basic, it is and electrolyte(the darker, the more basic or acidic). If it comes out neutral, like Distilled Water, it is not. Also don't forget that non-electrolytes will not completely dissolve into solution in water.

I don't think a lot of people read this. It is interesting information. I had to take a tree hugger science last year and one of the things the professor admitted to is that another one of the destructive gases to the ozone that they beleive is causing the global warming is ethanol, and uria, which are both caused by natural body occurances, the ethonal comes from Pooh, while the uria comes from Urine. Not just human but animal as well. I personally don't know, but am refreshed to see another prospective on the whole thing. Now they can prove all of it, inclucding the CFC part Maybe we can all use Aqua Net again.

mostly acids. do your own homework

No, it's an organic compound (C12H22O11). Minerals on the other hand are a natural occurring inorganic substance.\n\nOrganic compounds are produced by living things while Inorganic compounds are produced by non-living natural processes.\n\nSome Differences between organic and inorganic substances:\n1) Organic compounds contain carbon while Inorganic compounds do not.\n2) Organic compounds contain carbon-hydrogen bonds while Inorganic compounds do not.\n3) Inorganic compounds can form salts while Organic can not.

Yes and No...\n\nAll Organic Compounds contain Carbon, but not all compounds containing Carbon are Organic.\n\nas quoted from my source, listed below...\n\n"An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon, with the exception of carbides, carbonates, carbon oxides and gases containing carbon.The study of organic compounds is termed organic chemistry. Many of these compounds, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (sugars), are also of prime importance in biochemistry.\n\nThe dividing line between organic and inorganic is contended and historically arbitrary; generally speaking, however, organic compounds are defined as those compounds which have carbon-hydrogen bonds, and inorganic compounds, those without. Thus carbonic acid is inorganic, whereas formic acid, the first fatty acid, is organic, although it could as well be called "carbonous acid" and its anhydride, carbon monoxide, is inorganic"

Atom efficiency is usually talked about in terms of being good or bad.  It isn't usually quantified.  However, if you are interested in the organic products you can that you are "wasting" the water.  In terms of atoms that would be 2 acetic acid molecule over all products equalling 14 atoms product over 25 atoms total products or 56% atom effiency.  For mass efficiency, you take the mass of desired over the mass total (52%).  Mass efficiency is different from atom efficiency.  In organic reactions, people like to talk about reactions being atom economical instead of efficient.  However, the concept of atom economy is not universally liked in the chemistry community.  If the byproduct is benign but has a large mass and is easily disposed of, that advantageous compared to a reaction that produces a byproduct that is lower in mass but has hazardous properties.

This compound is an amine.  You can identify it by the NH2 (amine group) at the end.  You did a fair job with the structure considering the limits of the text here.  I am sure you realize that two of your carbons do not have the correct number of bonds.

n-hexanoic acid\n\nThere are a LOT of compounds with that chemical formula.  Check chemfinder.com for more.

Citric acid is a weak organic acid found in citrus fruits. It is a natural preservative and is also used to add an acidic (sour) taste to foods and soft drinks. In biochemistry, it is important as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle and therefore occurs in the metabolism of almost all living things. It also serves as an environmentally benign cleaning agent and acts as an antioxidant.\n\nCitric acid exists in a variety of fruits and vegetables, but it is most concentrated in lemons and limes, where it can comprise as much as 8% of the dry weight of the fruit.

This is a addition-elimination reaction (http://www.chem.ucalgary.ca/courses/351/Carey/Ch23/ch23-3-3.html). can be accelerated by lewis acids.

They are all made, that job has been done . . . and they are so reactive that they are found in compounds. \n\nCould you make them  . . . no; could you find products with them in compounds . . .  sure.

The structure is valid......I make it Pent-2-ene-2-ol. The "ene" and "ol" group both being on Carbon number 2 of a 5 Carbon chain.

The previous answer is partially correct.\n\nWater reacts with the excess acetic anhydride which is converted to acetic acid.\n\nSince the product is only slightly soluble in water, this also makes it possible to collect the product as a solid.

This is not a pure biology question. Should be bio-chemistry.

I would say CH2O2 (I'm assuming you mean formic acid, not dioxirane), CH3CO2H, and water.  \n\n"Important" is a tough word here, as all of these compounds can participate in h-bonding to varying degreees, with water being the strongest and CH2F2 being the weakest.  That said, strong hydrogen bonding gives rise to many of the nifty properties of water and in all three cases the h-bonding is powerful enough to raise the boiling points to be significantly higher than what you would expect based on molecular weight.

One question at a time please!\n\nCarbon forms Covalent bonds.\n\n1 molecule of Carbon can form 4 bonds.\n\nLipids are formed from Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen and consist of fatty acids, and esters, and glycerols.\n\nOkay, Organic vs. Inorganic Here are some of the most educated opinions on that subject that I have ever encountered:\n\n Ask A Scientist\nChemistry Archive  \n\nhttp://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem99/chem99286.htm\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nOrganic / Inorganic\n\nQuestion:\nI teach sophomores an introductory biology course.  When I cover the biochemistry section the terms organic and inorganic come up.\nI am not satisfied with the simplistic statement that organic chemicals are ones that contain carbon since it does not account for carbon dioxide being an inorganic. Is there a definition of 'organic chemical' which accounts for all\nor most molecules?\n doug happ\n \nAnswer 1:\n   Given the existence of hemoglobin, "zinc fingers" in some enzymes, and buckyballs, I'd guess not.\n christopher grayce\n\nAnswer 2:\nConsidering the number of carbon containing molecules that ARE considered to be organic relative to the number that are NOT, the rule that an organic molecule is one that contains carbon,  works VERY well. The "exceptions" might serve as a lead-in to a discussion of the use of rules, such as classifying molecules as organic or inorganic, as a contrived convenience.  They are helpful for most cases.  In the cases\nwhere the rules don't work well we have to be able to turn to other tools, such as an understanding of chemical bonds or molecular orbitals so we can concentrate on the characteristic of interest -- which is very rarely\nwhether the molecule is organic or more often things like reactivity. You're at the leading edge of helping these students think for themselves\nin a field where they probably feel unsure of themselves! It sounds like you have some inquiring students there and some active\ndiscussions.  May you have many more!\nGreg\n\nAnswer 3:  An interesting question.\nI believe that "organic" vs. "inorganic" originally stemmed from the ancient idea that compounds could be divided into two categories; those isolated from plants and animals (organic) and those extracted from minerals and ore (inorganic)\n[source: Bodner and Pardue, Chemistry: An Experimental Science, 1993].\n \nAs a working definition, now we think of organic chemistry as primarily being the chemistry of carbon-containing compounds. Most carbon-containing compounds have one or more of the\nfollowing: H,N,O,S,P. Some authors describe organic chemistry as the study of compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen. By this definition, CO2 would be "inorganic." But I would\nlike to stress that in fact there is no general agreement on such semantics, and I'd bet that a lot of chemists consider CO2 to be "organic" because it contains C and O.\nTopper
