ChemicalsCompound Project

OBJECTIVE: Students will become better acquainted with the writingand naming of chemical compounds and the use of chemicals in everyday life in foods and products that are used in the home.

INSTRUCTIONS:1. Neatly cut out a minimum of 20 original labels from

foods and products you use everyday including the ingredients and the name/brand of the product. If you are unable to find all the labels at home you may use a maximum of 5 from the internet. Mount each label neatly on a clean sheet of white paper and number them from 1 to 20 (or more). Or with our circumstances create a google slideshow or google document. Just snap pictures of the labels to add to these documents. 2 points will be deducted for each missing label!

2. You may use any food product or any items with chemical compounds listed.

For example….

You may use medicines (this includes vitamins)

You may use pet products

You may use toiletriesExamples:- toothpaste- lotion- mouthwash- soap- shampoo- makeup- shaving cream

You may use cleaning products

You may use candies

You may useslim fast

or diet foodlabels

You may NOT use single elements. They must be compounds.

3. From these 20 labels (or more) you must find at least 35 different chemical compounds. You will write the chemical formulas and the chemical names using the internet for help. You must underline the name of each compound on the label.

4. Number each chemical compound sequentially from 1 to 35.

Any duplication of compounds will result in a

5 point deductionper duplication.

Example:The ingredient is

underlined in the label.

Each ingredient is numbered with the name and formula given.

On the next label, the number for the ingredients will start on number 5.

5. Some companies provide ambiguous or unconventional chemical names to protect trade secrets. If you choose to use these compounds, you must provide each possible standard way of naming and writing these chemical formulas.

Example one: Tin chloride would be written as:Tin (II) chloride / Stannous chloride SnCl2

Tin (IV) chloride / Stannic chloride SnCl4

Example two: Dipotassium phosphate would be:Potassium phosphate K3PO4

Potassium hydrogen phosphate K2HPO4

6. Take a photo of your completed project and send me the pictures. If you are doing this as a slide show then just share it with me. Also true for a google doc.

9. You will be graded on accuracy (2 points for each compound = 70 points) and neatness (10 points).
