Carbon Organic compounds

Molecular formula (Section 1 7) Chemical formula in which subscnpts are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element present in one molecule In organic compounds carbon is cited first hydrogen second and the remaining el ements in alphabetical order...

Pollution associated with petroleum refining typically includes volatile organic compounds (volatile organic compounds), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur oxides (SO c), nitrogen oxides (NO ), particulates, ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), metals, spent acids, and numerous toxic organic compounds (Hydrocarbon Processing, 2003). Sulfur and metals result from the impurities in crude oil. The other wastes represent losses of feedstock and petroleum products. 

The standard enthalpy of combustion, AHc°, is the change in enthalpy per mole of a substance that is burned in a combustion reaction under standard conditions. In a combustion of an organic compound, carbon forms carbon dioxide gas and hydrogen forms liquid water any nitrogen present is released as N2, unless we specify that nitrogen oxides are formed. 

In stable organic compounds, carbon must have four covalent bonds to other atoms. In (a), carbon has five bonds to other atoms. In (b), one carbon has four bonds to other atoms, but the second carbon has bonds to other atoms. 

In comparison with the vast number of known organic compounds, carbon forms few fully three-dimensional cage molecules, some common exceptions being cubane, adamantane, and triptycene. By applying the isostructural principle, chemists have built up an imposing array of adamantanes substituted with a variety of other nontransition elements, but until recently triptycene has strongly resisted most attempts to tinker with its structure in this way. 

These features explain why there are so many organic compounds Carbon forms four strong bonds with itself and other elements. Carbon atoms combine together to form rings and chains. 

Owing to several unique properties of carbon, such as its ability to form long chains, organic compounds—carbon compounds— come in virtually infinite variety. Organic chemists spend their time studying the ways that carbon reacts with itself and other compounds and... 

The first and until recently the accepted view is that in the cyanides nitrogen is trivalent while in the iso-cyanides it is pentavalent as shown in the above formulas. This is in accord with our assumption that in organic compounds carbon is tetravalenl. It also agrees with facts in regard to the element nitrogen for we know that nitrogen frequently changes valence from three to five. 

Fig. 1 above Conversion of CO2 respectively CO and yield of organic compounds, carbon deposited on the catalyst and CO respectively CO2 as function of duration of the experiment with the synthesis gases H2/C02=3 (left) and H2/CO=2.3 (right). Transient episodes of catalyst transformation are indicated at the upper rim of the diagrams ... 

Database organic compounds (carbon containing molecules with up to 1000 atoms) ... 

Structural formula writing becomes especially important when studying compounds containing carbon, which are called organic compounds. Carbon atoms have the ability to link together into long chains and rings,... 

Combustion reactions Oxygen in excess (usually from the air) combines with organic compounds (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the sole products. 

This book provides methods for measuring the major contaminants that cause "sick building syndrome, inducting volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, organochlorine pesticides, particulates, and other compounds. 

In contrast to its organic compounds, carbon s inorganic compounds are simple. Metal carbonates in marble, limestone, chalk, and coral occur in enormous deposits throughout the world. Carbonates are used in some antacids because they react with the HCl in stomach acid ...
