Organic chemicals are in everything we eat, our bodies, plastics, shampoo, and so many other things

Sociology Nov 27, 2022

Organic chemicals are in everything we eat, our bodies, plastics, shampoo, and so many other things. There are federal and other rules about labeling consumer products. However, it is a challenge to figure out what the labels say! Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find up to 15 ingredients which are organic chemicals, and figure out what the compounds really are and why they're in the products you use. Please submit as a PDF (NOT A PICTURE) in Canvas by 11:59 pm Saturday May 15. It will be worth a maximum of 30 points, 2 per ingredient, about half a point for each of the four pieces of information listed below. The points will be added to your point total before making the curve. For each ingredient, list the following: 1. Name on label 2. IUPAC name 3. Chemical structure (show absolute configuration and stereochemistry if it's there) 4. Purpose (why is it in the product?) A fancy report printed on a computer is OK, but so is one written and drawn by hand. However, no matter how you prepare the report, we have to be able to read your writing and your drawing of the structures. If we can't read something we will not give credit. Make sure your PDF is legible. The ingredients can all be in one item, or several items. Remember sodium chloride and other inorganic compounds like bicarbonate don't count as organic. For help in decoding the label names, here are some online SDSU library resources: https://libguides.sdsu.edu/chemistry/background Merck Index Online (look at the link above, under "Properties Data") ChemSpider (look at the link above, under "Properties Data")
