Linda asked: We did it in class and saw a clear layer of what I assume is the organic solvent(light petroleum) on the top and the underneath layer was murky white. Why does this happen?

Sarah L Lawliet asked: My book says that organic compounds contain carbon, and all others are classified as inorganic, but then it says that carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbon disulphide, compounds in the cyanide group, and carbonate, and bicarbonate are inorganic, don’t these compounds have carbon? Why are they considered inorganic?! I’m so confused. Please help me out.
Thank you

Theresa asked: I’m working on naming some organic compounds and a list of priorities of functional groups according to IUPAC rules would be awesome. I’ve looked a little, but I can’t find a good one. Thanks!

Mike M asked: What’s a book that you would recommend that would serve as a good reference for a lot of the organic reaction mechanisms that you would see in undergraduate level organic chemistry classes (Organic I and II)? Thanks very much for your time!

tinalovesmac4ever asked: I got a c in organic i and ii and biochemistry. both classes were so hard for me and i really worked very hard but could not do anything above a c. it saddens me so. i graduate in may with my bachelors but part of me wants to take at least one of these courses again just because. what did you guys make in these classes? what advice can you offer on excelling in these courses? should i take the class over? i don’t think they will replace the grade though.
