Activity No. 1 Difference Between Organic and Inorganic Compounds Objective

This document describes an experiment to differentiate between organic and inorganic compounds based on their solubility, flammability, combustibility, conductivity, and bonding properties. The experiment involves testing the solubility of NaCl, I2, benzoic acid, and aniline in various solvents. It also tests the flammability of water and ethanol, and the combustibility of sugar and NaCl. The results show that organic compounds like sugar and benzoic acid are soluble in organic solvents, combustible, and have covalent bonds, while inorganic compounds like NaCl are soluble in water, non-combustible, and have ionic bonds.

1. Define organic and inorganic compounds. 
2. Differentiate organic and inorganic compounds.  
MATERIALS  REAGENTS

PROCEDURE:  
A. Solubility  
1. Prepare four (4) clean test tubes and label each with the samples to be used namely NaCl, I , 2

2. Place a pinch of the sample in their respective test tubes.  
3. To each test tube add approximately 5 mL of distilled water. 
4. Shake the test tube and observe. 
5. Repeat the above procedure using the other solvents. 

B. Flammability 
1. Place approximately 5 mL distilled water in an evaporating dish. Ignite a match and place it  in
the evaporating dish. 
2. Observe the result  
3. Repeat with ethanol  

C. Combustibility  
1. In a clean evaporating dish, place approximately 1 g sugar crystals.  
2. Place the evaporating dish over a Bunsen burner.
