Making a petrochemical

The branches of chemistry being studied in this activity are organic, inorganic, and physical. The compounds being used are salicylic acid, salicylate, and methanol acid. H2SO4 is the catalyst and the role of it in this was to initiate the reaction. The material safety data sheet is used to make the people performing the experiment aware of the properties of the substances being used. Organic farming is farming without the use of chemicals i.e. Pesticides. Farmers use organic farming techniques in order to eliminate harmful chemicals out of the produce that we consume. Organic compounds can be defined as covalently bonded compounds containing carbon, excluding carbonates and oxides. Organic compounds come from carbon’s electronic structure which allows it to bind itself to form chains and rings, to bind covalently to other elements, and to bind to itself and other elements in different arrangements. The difference between organic far...
