Compounds make our world go round! SOME COMMON COMPOUNDS Compounds make our world go round!

TABLE SUGAR (sucrose) C12H22O11

When compounds form, some or all of each element’s properties change. White, solid that dissolves in water and is safe to eat Green, toxic gas Soft, silver, metal that reacts violently in water + Chlorine (Cl) Sodium (Na) NaCl (table salt)

Laughing Gas (dinitrogen oxide)

BAKING SODA (Sodium bicarbonate) NaHCO3

How is baking soda made? Then the sodium sesquicarbonate is placed in a centrifuge, this separates the crystals from the liquid. The crystal are then dissolved in a bicarbonate solution this creates a saturated solution which then gets carbonated in a carbon tower. The solution then reacts with the carbon dioxide which forms sodium bicarbonate crystals. The crystals then move through another centrifuge were the filtrate is removed. The crystals are then washed in bicarbonate solution The result is a cake-like substance which is ready to be dried. The washed cake-like substance is now dried in a vertical flash dryer. After this is done what you have left over is more then 99% pure Baking Soda. The first step in manufacturing baking soda, is creating soda ash. This is achieved by using Trona Ore (which must be mined first). The soda ash is refined to form sodium sesquicarbonate which contains both soda ash and baking soda. http://allaboutbakingsoda.blogspot.com/

Sodium Fluoride NaF

Silicon Dioxide (quartz) SiO2

Carbonic acid H2CO3 Removes CO2 out of our bodies during respiration

CALCIUM CARBONATE (Limestone) CaCO3 Building materials (sheetrock) Used in concrete Medicine to help with heartburn

CITRIC ACID C6H8O7 Most often used to add a sour taste to food and drinks

Dihydrogen Monoxide  Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to: mutate DNA denature proteins disrupt cell membranes and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol. Some dangers

Dihydrogen Monoxide Dihydrogen monoxide is commonly found in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere and even in the lithosphere and asthenosphere!
