organic naming

1. copy the structural formulas for the following compounds.

methane

Explanation:

1. Defines organic chemistry as carbon-based compound study.
2. Lists common gasoline octane ratings, marks priciest.
3. Identifies benzene's top health risk.
4. Shows ethanol's structural formula.
5. Lists Alberta's 5 key hydrocarbon types.
6. Details organic names/functions for common substances.
7. Notes key hydrocarbon applications.
8. Shows methane's structural formula.

Answer:

1. Organic Chemistry: The branch of chemistry focused on the study of compounds containing carbon (typically bonded to hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements), excluding simple carbon-containing compounds like carbonates and oxides.
2. 87 (Regular), 89 (Mid-Grade), ✓91/93 (Premium)
3. Benzene health hazard: It is a carcinogen, linked to increased risk of leukemia and other blood cancers with prolonged exposure.
4. Ethanol structural formula:

      H H
      | |
    H-C-C-O-H
      | |
      H H

(or condensed as $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}$)

1. Alberta's Hydrocarbons:

• Methane
• Ethane
• Propane
• Butane
• Pentane (and heavier crude oil hydrocarbons)

1. | Substance | Organic name, function and/or diagram |

Aspirin (ASA)	Acetylsalicylic acid; functions as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and blood thinner.
Oranges	Contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C); nutrient for immune function and collagen synthesis.
Pine trees	Produce pinene (a terpene); acts as a defensive compound for the tree, and has aromatic/industrial uses.
Ester #1 (Choose one from list)	Ethyl acetate; used as a solvent in glues, paints, and nail polish removers, has a sweet, fruity odor.
Protein hemoglobin	Function: Transports oxygen from the lungs to body tissues, and carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs for excretion.
Glucose (sugar)	$\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6$; primary energy source for most living cells, used in cellular respiration to produce ATP.

1. Hydrocarbon Uses:

• Fuel for transportation (gasoline, diesel)
• Heating and electricity generation (natural gas)
• Feedstock for plastic and chemical production
