Compound 4
-
hydrochloride

Molecular Formula: HCl


inorganic, it does not contain carbon
Summary: In chemistry, a
hydrochloride is a
salt
that results
from the reaction of
hydrochloric acid
with an organic
base
. Converting
insoluble
amines
into hydrochlorides
is a common way to make them
water-soluble
. This characteristic is
particularly desirable for substances
used in medications. In addition,
many hydrochlorides of amines have a
longer shelf-life than their respective free bases

Compound 5 -
folic acid

molecular formula:
C19H19N7O6
Organic because it contains carbon
Summary: Folic acid is used for preventing and treating low blood levels of folate, as well as its
complications, including tired blood (
anemia
) and the inability of the bowel to absorb
nutrients
properly. Folic acid is also used for
other conditions commonly associated with
folate deficiency, including
ulcerative colitis
,
liver disease,
alcoholism
, and
kidney
dialysis
.

COMPOUND INFORMATION
Compound 1
-D
icalcium Phosphate

Molecular Formula: CaHPO4


inorganic because it does not contain carbon
Summary: Dicalcium phosphate is an ionic salt, meaning it's made
up of charged particles of calcium and phosphate, both of which
humans need in the diet. While dicalcium phosphate isn't as
common a nutritional supplement as the more familiar tricalcium
phosphate, it still shows up occasionally on nutrition labels as a
means of adding calcium to a food.

Compound 2
-
magnesium stearate

Molecular Formula:
Mg(C18H35O2)2
organic because it contains carbon
Summary:
Magnesium stearate is a salt that is produced
when a magnesium ion bonds with two stearate molecules.
Stearate is just the anion form of stearic acid. Stearic acid is
a long-chain saturated fat that is common in beef, cocoa
butter, coconut oil, and other natural foods.
Also the only long-chain saturated fat that scientists and
medical practitioners agree doesnt raise cholesterol levels,
and doesnt increase risk of heart disease.

cellulose

Molecular Formula:
(C6H10O5)
Organic because it contains carbon
Summary: Cellulose is the substance that makes up most of a plant's cell
walls. Since it is made by all plants, it is probably the most abundant organic
compound found on Earth. Aside from being the primary building material
for plants, cellulose has many others uses. According to how it is treated,
cellulose can be used to make many useful things in ones daily life.
Commonly made is paper, film, explosives, and plastics. For humans,
cellulose is also a major source of needed fiber in our diet.

Compound 4
-
aluminum lake

Molecular Formula: C111H102Al2N6O27S9


organic because it contains carbon
Summary: Aluminum Lake is a color commonly used to dye dosage formulas,
including tablets and capsules. Aluminum Lake is also FDA approved for use
in foods, drugs and cosmetics. Lakes are formed by reacting straight colors
with precipitants and salts. Lakes may be used as color additives for tablet
coatings due to their stability.

Compound 5
-
silica gel

Molecular formula: SiO2


inorganic because it does not contain carbon
Summary:
In this form, it is used as a barren item to control
humidity to avoid spoilage or degradation of some goods. Because
silica gel can have added chemical indicators, and absorbs moisture
very well, silica gel packets usually bear warnings for the user not
to eat the contents.

COMPOUND INFORMATION
Compound 1 -
Water
Molecular Formula
: H2O
inorganic because it does not contain carbon
Summary: Water is needed for all biological survival. T
he availability and
quality of water always have played an important part in determining not
only where people can live, but also their quality of life. Even though there
always has been plenty of fresh water on Earth, water has not always been
available when and where it is needed, nor is it always of suitable quality
for all uses.

organic because it contains carbon
Summary: Cocamidopropyl betaine is an
amphoteric surfactant. The particular behaviour
of amphoterics is related to their zwitterionic
character (both anionic and cationic structures
are found in one molecule).

Compound 3 -
Benzalkonium chloride

Organic because it contains carbon
Summary:
Benzalkonium chloride is a detergent and quaternary ammonium compound with a
large range of antimicrobial activity. In the beginning, it was introduced as a germicide in the
1910s and became more widely used throughout the 1940s. In the ophthalmic industry,
Benzalkonium chloride was first used in the 1940s in order to preserve hard contact lens
solutions. Since then, the compound has been used in
most ophthalmic solutions.

pigments globally. It is most commonly used to present
whiteness and opacity to products such as paints, plastics,
papers, inks, foods, and toothpastes. Not only that, but it is
also used in cosmetic and skin care products, including most
every sunblock as it protects the skin from ultraviolet light.
