Fundamental Concept Of Organic Chemistry Flashcards
Formula of starch
(C6H10O5)n
Proteins are very complex compounds having mass ranging from
a few thousands to a million
The rate of reaction of organic compounds is slow due to
It’s molecular nature
Organic compounds are
Non polar
Formation of coal from wood
Wood is converted into peat by bacterial and chemical action
Peat is converted into lignite under high temperature and pressure
Under high pressure lignite is converted into bituminous coal
Which under high pressure is converted into anthracite
Temperature required for pyrolysis of coal
500-1000 degree Celsius
Pyrolysis is also referred to as
Destructive distillation
Carbonization
Destructive distillation of coal produces
Coke(reducing agent)
Coal tar, mixture of many liquids
Coal gas
Carbon content in peat is
30-45%
Carbon content in lignite is
50-60%
Carbon content in bituminous is
Upto 86%
Carbon content in anthracite is
95%
%of total coal resources used in brick industry
80%
Fractional distillation of coal tar gives
Benzene
Toulene
Xylene
Phenol
Natural gas is a mixture of
Low boiling hydrocarbons
