EXERCISE 1: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INORGANIC AND ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

QUESTION 3. Differentiate organic chemistry from inorganic chemistry based on melting point, boiling
point, and flammability. Tabulate your answer.
- Organic can be synthesized by a special mechanism that can take place only inside living things. Hence,
unlike inorganic compounds, organic compounds cannot be prepared in the laboratory

ORGANIC COMPOUNDS INORGANIC COMPOUNDS

MELTING POINT LOW MELTING POINT HIGH MELTING POINT
BOILING POINT LOW BOILING POINT HIGH BOILING POINT
FLAMMABILITY FLAMMABLE AND INFLAMMABLE AND NON-
HIGHLY VOLATILE VOLATILE

EXERCISE 2: Ph DETERMINATION

QUESTION 3. HOW DOES THE FOLLOWING AFFECT THE ACIDITY OR BASICITY OF

COMPOUNDS?
A. BODY LENGTH
-AS THE BOND LENGTH INCREASES, THE ACID STRENGTH INCREASES. THUS,
LARGER X ATOMS LEAD TO STRONGER ACIDS.
B. BOND STRENGTH
-IN GENERAL AN ACID IS STRONGER WHEN H-A IS MORE POLAR ACIDITY IS ALSO
GREATER WHEN THE H-A BOND IS WEAKER AND WHEN THE CONJUGATE BASE A-
_ IS MORE STABLE.
C. BOND POLARITY
-THE MORE POLAR THIS BOND THE EASIER IT IS TO FORM THIS ION. THUS, THE
MORE POLAR THE BOND THE STRONGER THE ACIDS.

CONCLUSION: AS WE OBSERVED, EVERY TIME WE PUT METHYL ORANGE IN EVERY
SOLUTION THE COLOR OF THE SOLUTIONS ALWAYS CHANGED. WHENEVER WE ADD
SOME PHENOLPTHALEIN IT PRECIPITATES ON OTHER SOLUTIONN.
