This Week in SCY High Chemistry

For February 18-29

We are continuing learning about organic chemistry. Now that you have learned how to determine the name of hydrocarbons, we will learn about the other organic functional groups. You will also be presenting your pharma brochures and media. Remember that you will be graded on presentation too!

NEW ANNOUNCEMENT! Class will meet Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from now on!

In-class: Functional Groups, Functional group media, glue polymer lab; empirical formula

Monday - Present Element tiles, Functional Groups; Polymer lab;

Wednesday - Biochemicals and Funtional groups; Empirical Formula

HOMEWORK:

Sign up for blogger.com account, and decide which vitamin/antioxidant you are using.

Answer the following questions in your blog.

1. Give your blog a clever RELEVANT title (not "Biochem Project")
   
2. Choose a vitamin or nutrient in your Jamba Juice to research (no duplicates) such as: vitamin A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, other antioxidants...
3. Cite the important chemical and physical properties (find them at webstites like chemfinder.com)
   

• Formula
• Molar Mass
• Physical state at room temperature
• Water soluble/insoluble?
  
• Picture of your chemical structure on your blog
• List the different functional groups on your molecule.
  
• MP, BP
  
• Physical hazards (MSDS)
• Why is your molecule importatnt to your health?
  
• What conditions can result from a lack of your chemical in a diet?
• What can happen if you ingest too much of your chemical?
  

1. Explain what a biomolecule is.
2. List the 4 main types of bio-molecules and what their functions in the body are.
3. Find a pciture of each type of biomolecule for your blog.
   
4. Choose a class of biomolecules from Chapter 24.2 and answer the "Section Assessment" questions IN FULL SENTENCES in your blog.
   

KEY ASSESSMENT CONCEPT QUESTIONS: Intro. to Organic Chemistry

1. Be able to name at least 3 allotropes of carbon.
2. KNOW parent alkanes from 1C to 10C long.
3. KNOW how to name simple and branched hydrocarbons
