    This document summarizes an experiment conducted by chemistry students to differentiate organic and inorganic compounds based on their solubility, flammability, combustibility, and conductivity. The experiment involved testing various samples - like sodium chloride, iodine, benzoic acid, aniline, sugar, and ethanol - in different solvents and conditions. Through this, the students were able to define and distinguish organic compounds, which contain carbon, from inorganic compounds, which do not. Key findings were that organic substances like benzoic acid and ethanol dissolved in solvents like kerosene, while inorganic salts like sodium chloride did not.

    Difference Between Organic And Inorganic Compounds

    Matthew Florian Uy Dealca Group VI BS-Chemistry II-A Nov. 23 2011 Nov. 29 2011

    1. Introduction
    In the world of Chemistry we understand how materials are made. Chemistry is defined as the science of matter specially its chemical reactions. It is like what is an object made of? For example water. Water is made up of two atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen. Why does water look like that? Chemistry explains it all. To be specific, the question can be answered by Organic Chemistry. Organic Chemistry is defined as the study of carbon. Why Carbon? Carbon if you may ask Carbon atoms covalently bonded to other carbon atoms such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and many more. In contrast to Organic Chemistry we have the Inorganic Chemistry which deals with the study of non-carbon atoms. In this activity will be the basis of differentiating Organic and Inorganic compounds.

    Objectives
    Were talking about Organic and Inorganic Chemistry after this activity we should have found out the difference of the two. We should define the two. We should differentiate the two in compounds based on solubility, flammability, and conductivity.

    Hypothesis
    We should prepare series of activity. Activities which we will define Organic and Inorganic compounds based from solubility, flammability, combustibility and conductivity.

    Simple Background Information


    In this activity is said that we will going to define Organic and inorganic compounds by solubility, flammability, combustibility and con or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution of the solute in the solvent. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the used solvent as well as on temperature and pressure. The extent of the solubility of a substance in a specific solvent is measured as the saturation concentration where adding more solute does not increase the

    concentration of the solution. Flammability is defined as how easily something will burn or ignite, causing fire or combustion. The degree of difficulty required to cause the combustion of a substance is quantified through fire testing. Combustibility is a measure of how easily a substance will set on fire, through fire or combustion. This is an important property to consider when a substance is used for construction or is being stored. Special precautions are usually required for substances that are easily combustible. These measures may include installation of fire sprinklers or storage remote to possible sources of ignition. Conductivity or specific conductance is the reciprocal quantity, and measures a material's ability to conduct an electric current.

    2. Materials and Reagents


    In this activity were going to use these following materials and reagents: Test tubes(16), droppers(4),spatula(5),graduated cylinder 10ml,evaporating dish small(2),alcohol lamp, test tube rack, beaker 250ml(3), match, conductivity apparatus, sugar, NaCl, Aniline, I2, Benzoic Acid, HCl solution, NaOH solution, Kerosene, hot pad, clamp.

    3. Methods:
    In solubility prepare four clean test tubes and label each with samples to be used, namely NaCl, I2, Benzoic acid and Aniline. Place a pinch of the sample in their respective test tubes. To each test tube add approximately 5mL of water. Shake the test tube and observed. Repeat the procedure using the solvents HCl, NaOH and Kerosene. Observe the solubility of each sample to the solvent used. In flammability place approximately 5mL water in an evaporating dish. Ignite a match and place it in an evaporating dish. Observe. Repeat with ethanol. In combustibility, in a clean evaporating dish, place approximately 1g sugar crystals. Place the evaporating dish over a burner. Ignite the sample and observe. Repeat with NaCl crystals. In conductivity, determine the conductivity of sugar solution , NaCl, and ethanol using a conductivity apparatus

    Flammability

    Sample Water

    Observation When water happened. was ignited nothing

    Ethanol

    When the ethanol was ignited blue flame occurred.

    3.

    Combustibility

    Sample NaCl

    Observation When salt was ignited its particles

    compacted together. Sugar When sugar was ignited it caramelized , burned and bubbles occurred. Its color turned into dark brown.

    4. Discussion
    During the activity, We encountered problems, problems like the distribution of labor and discipline. When it comes to distribution of labor we have four procedures to be done to be specific solubility, flammability, combustibility and conductivity. We were six members in the group at first we had to think who can perform a certain procedure and those who cant but luckily weve organized and planned ourselves to be efficient. In discipline perhaps we were not as disciplined as we hope to because all of us were pumped up to perform the first activity. In the end we performed every procedure flawlessly.

    5. Conclusion
    In the activity by performing test (solubility, flammability, combustibility, conductivity) we defined and got the definitions of organic and inorganic compounds. We can conclude that organic and inorganic compounds cannot co-exists in a certain material. Benzoic acid, Aniline, Ethanol and sugar are organic compounds. Water, Salt and Iodine are inorganic compounds.
