3.1 Organic Chemistry Introduction

I. Objectives
At the end of this simulation, you will be able to. . .

• Give example of uses of organic compounds

• Identify the carbon valence electrons and the hybridization of their orbital
• Predict the angles of covalent bonds of carbon atoms in hydrocarbons
• Apply the nomenclature of simple hydrocarbons
• Give examples of functional groups of organic compounds and their reactions
II. Introduction
• Organic chemistry is a complex series of synthesis organic molecules and the
study of applications of advanced methods of polymeric materials. Study of
structures determines their chemical formula and composition to understand their
properties like physical and chemical properties. Also, organic compounds
include a synthesis of natural products, polymers, individual organic molecules
and acids. In this simulation, you will learn the basics of organic chemistry and
how it relates to carbon and essential elements for all life, understand how
organic compounds can be represented, and identify some functional groups.
The lab relies on a high level of interactivity. When manipulating the types and
angles of carbon bonds, you can build your own 3D carbon molecules on the
holotable. With deductions, you can mistake dangerous solutions without
consequences and get used to the equipment we use.At the end of an
introductory organic chemistry simulation, you need to combine test results and
knowledge to solve organic chemistry puzzles. You must know how to identify
the correct functional group of Simon's drug and make sure he is fine when
taking it.
III. Materials and Procedure
Materials:
• Sodium Bicarbonate
• Spatula
• Ceric ammonium nitrate
• Beaker
• Pipette tip rack
 • Pipette
• Micro vortex
• Bromine
• 15 ml tube
• Waste bin
• Fume hood
• Safety googles
• Table
• Gloves
• Lab coat
• Alcohol/phenol
Procedure:
1.) For the bromine test, take two empty tubes from the tub pack and place them in the
tube rack.
2.) Take a pipette and add a tip of it. After that, take some bromine and add them to the
empty tubes.
3.) Add pentane to one of the tube the tubes containing bromine and add hexene to the
remaining tube containing bromine.
4.) Use vortex to mix both tubes and perform the test with the two unknown compounds.

1.) For the ceric ammonium nitrate test for alcohols, take a pipette and add new tip to it.
2.) Add the solution from the beakers to a different test tube. And then, add the ceric
ammonium nitrate to all tubes.
3.) Vortex the tubes and observe the results.
4.) Prepare and start the 2nd test.
5.) Take a spatula and get some sodium bicarbonate.
6.) After that, transfer the solution to the tube and add sodium bicarbonate again to the
remaining tubes.
7.) Observe the final product of the test.
IV. Data and Results
• For this experiment, the ceric ammonium nitrate test was used with (-OH). For
column number 2, the compound A, B, and D turns out to be positive and the
color of the solution becomes brown and red. In the sodium bicarbonate test,
only the two compounds turn out to be positive, which are the compound A and
E.
• Finding the Salicylic Acid Solution

• Positive results in both test that contains carboxylic and phenolic acid function
groups

V. Discussion
• The table shows the compounds A, B, C, D, E and F and the two tests conducted
on the experiment on the two columns. Ceric ammonium nitrate test (-OH) as
stated on the data and results part, compound A, B, and D became positive and
the color became brown and red. Earlier on the experiment, there is a hypothesis
formulated that a compound with salicylic acid will turn out as brown or red in
color after this test. Compound A, B, and became a candidate on the possible
compound with salicylic acid. The second test which is the sodium bicarbonate
test conducted. Compound A and E showed positive results. Compound A is the
compound with salicylic acid due to the results on the experiment. The result of
experiment is similar to the hypothesis given by the researchers that it will turn to
red or brown color and positive for effervescence. Simon can trust his friend that
gave the medicine because it is a compound with salicylic acid that is good for
pain relief.
VI. Conclusion
• After doing the simulation, we can conclude that bond angles are very important
 in many reactions in organic chemistry, where they determine the structure of the
products. Carbon bonds are affected by the sort of hybridization that happens in
the electron orbital. The carbon bonds are angled in a distinct way. Bond angles
play a crucial role in many organic chemistry reactions because they influence
the final product’s structure. The importance of functional groups in organic
chemistry processes cannot be overstated. As a result, they play an important
role in life’s molecule. As an organic compound, salicylic acid, also known as 2-
hydroxybenzoic acid, was created. An organic compound with an alcohol or
phenol group is treated with the ceric ammonium nitrate reagent. The compound
solution turned a dark red color and triggered an effervescence response. Aspirin
was among the medications brought into the lab. Aspirin, also known as
acetylsalicylic acid, is converted to salicylic acid in our bodies. For basic paints
and inflammatory conditions, this is very common and successful treatment. The
part of our mission is to give Simon a medicine and it was great because we
treated Simon’s pain in his teeth.
