6 Compounds

What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the nature of Organic Compounds. Most of the foodstuffs that we consume
every day such as sugar, fats, starch, vinegar, etc. are basically organic compounds.
Even though the organic compounds have been known to man since prehistoric
times, their study practically began from the eighteenth century! The term “organic
compound” was coined by Berzelius in 1807.

Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds, which extends to

understanding chemical reactions in living organisms and products derived from
them. There are numerous examples of organic chemistry in everyday life. Organic
chemistry plays an important part in our daily life because food, clothes, paper, ink,
rubber, soap, perfumes, medicines etc. are indispensable to us for proper living.

Let’s explore more about these compounds.

This module contains the following topics:

 Lesson 1 – General classes and uses of organic compound

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Recognize the general classes and uses of organic compounds
(S9MT- IIh -18)
Organic compounds are group of compounds that contain the element carbon.
Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen combined with other elements
namely oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur, and halogens (fluorine, chlorine,
bromine, and iodine) ethyl alcohol, acetone, gasoline, naphthalene, acetic acid,
vanillin, acetylene, and esters are just a few examples of many useful organic
compounds. These kinds of compounds are produced by plants and animals.
However, these carbon-containing compounds can also be produced artificially.
There are also organic compounds that are produced from petroleum: liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline, lubricating oil, and kerosene. These compounds have
different uses in the community.

What’s New
Organic Chemistry is a study of carbon containing compounds, usually
bonded to Hydrogen, Oxygen and sometimes Nitrogen. There are many types of
organic molecules. Hydrocarbons are examples of some of the simpler organic
compounds since they only contain carbon and hydrogen.
In addition, there are four groups of organic compounds found in all living
things namely: Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and nucleic acids.

You just learned the importance and uses of common organic
compounds that are commonly used. In the next activity, you will learn about
the other common organic compounds, alcohols and carbonyl group
containing compounds such as aldehydes and ketones.

 What is It
Many organic compounds are formed because of the special
characteristics of the element carbon. A carbon atom has four valence
electrons. This kind of atomic structure makes the carbon atom able to form
four covalent bonds with atoms of other elements and other carbon atoms.
Carbon atoms can also make many types of arrangements: single bonds
between carbon atoms and other elements can form different kinds of
compounds with short and long straight and branched chained structures
such as the following compounds; methane, Isopropyl Alcohol, and acetylene.

Properties of Common Organic Compounds

Every kind of organic compound has specific properties or
characteristics. Although these compounds may show similarities in some
properties, these compounds do not have exactly the same properties:
Gasoline, kerosene, diesel oil, vanillin, acetic acid, and ethyl alcohol are
organic compounds with different properties. Gasoline, for example, has a
strong odor, is volatile, and highly flammable.
Hydrocarbons
A molecule containing only carbon and hydrogen, bonded together by
covalent bonds. Hydrocarbons differ from each other in two ways: number of
carbon atom and the type of bonds between the carbon atoms (single, double,
triple bond).
TABLE 2. Types of Hydrocarbons:

Type of Hydrocarbon Bond found in the Ending use to name

molecule the Hydrocarbon
Alkane All single bonds -ane ending

Alkene 1 double bond -ene ending

Alkyne 1 triple bond -yne ending

An organic compound is any member of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or

solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. Organic molecules are
used by human in number of ways; it is used in industries like foods,
pharmaceuticals, fuels etc. Alkanes consist of chemicals like propane, octane, and
methane. These are used extensively as fuels for things like automobile gasoline and
home heating/cooling fuel.
Alcohols include chemicals like ethanol and isopropanol. These are used as
antiseptics and ethanol is a staple of the beverage industry (beer/wine). Finally,
carboxylic acids include a wide variety of chemicals including pharmaceuticals.
Aspirin, one of the oldest commercial drugs, contains a carboxylic acid.

What I Can Do
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds, which extends to
understanding chemical reactions in living organisms and products derived from
them. There are numerous examples of organic chemistry in everyday life.
Calcium Carbide (CaC2) is a compound that is commonly known as kalburo.
Fruit vendors use this substance to speed up ripening of fruits like mangoes and
bananas in just a couple of days. When Calcium Carbide reacts with water such as
moisture in the air, ethyne gas is produced. Ethyne or commonly known as acetylene
is a kind of alkyne.
Activity 6: Which Bananas Will Ripen Faster
Objective:
 Investigate how a common organic compound namely ethyne can ripen
fruits faster than than the natural way.
Materials:

Calcium Carbide (kalburo) hand gloves

Newspapers face masks
12 unripe, green bananas of same variety small plastic cups
2 empty shoe or fruit juice boxes packaging tape

7
 CAUTION: Wear a face mask before performing the following procedure. Calcium
Carbide has a strong and irritating odor. Make sure that calcium carbide does not come in
contact with water!

Procedure:
1.) Using a sheet of newspaper, wrap ¼ kg (250g) of crushed calcium
carbide (kalburo). Make sure that the wrapped calcium carbide will
just be enough to fit the area of the bottom of one shoe box.
2.) Put the wrapped calcium carbide at the bottom of the shoe box and
cover it with another piece of newspaper.
3.) Place five unripe (nearly maturity) bananas of the same kind inside
the first box with calcium carbide. This will be group A.
4.) Do not put wrapped calcium carbide in the other shoe box.
5.) Place another set of five green, unripe bananas of the same kind in
the second box. This will be group B.
6.) After putting all the bananas in box A and box B, cover both boxes.
7.) Leave the shoe boxes for 48 hours.
