CHEMISTRY COMPEND 6
Protein Molecules
Many amino acids linked together
Ammonia
NH3
Is a product of protein decomposition
NH3 has significance for the embalmer because it

Aromatic Compounds
Organic compounds containing a benzene ring
Occur in the Same Reaction
Oxidation reactions and reduction reactions always
They are saturated hydrocarbon compounds
Property of alkane compounds
Amphoteric
Proteins are
Acids
Substances which ionize in solution to produce H ions are
Bases
Substances which ionize in solution to produce OH ions are
Electrolytes
Substances which release both positively and negatively charged ions when in solution are classified as
Non-electrolytes
Substances which would release no free ions in solution would be
Fatty acids and Glycerol
The by-products of the hydrolysis of fats are
Oxidation Reactions
The chemical reactions which involve reduction reactions are always accompanied by
Oxidation
The name given to the chemical reaction in which oxygen combines with another substance is
Reduction
The name given to the chemical reaction which involves the removal of oxygen from an inorganic substance
Formic Acid
The oxidation of formaldehyde forms
Aldehyde
The partial oxidation of a primary alcohol yields
Cause Blood Clotting
The significance of hard water to the embalmer is that the salts that cause hardness in water also
Temporary Hardness
The type of hardness which could be removed by boiling
Hydrates
Water will combine chemically with certain compounds to form crystalline compounds known as
Protein
What type of compound is hemoglobin?
Ether
A dehydration reaction between two alcohols will form
One cannot take place without the other
Accurately states a basic fact about oxidation and reduction reactions

An alcohol with a single hydroxyl unit attached to an end carbon atom
Benzene
Basic unit of all aromatic compounds
Redox Reactions
Chemical reactions involving both oxidation and reduction reactions are sometimes referred to as
Carbon Tetrachloride
Classified as a halide compound
Propanone
Classified as a ketone
Ethane
Classified as an alkane
Release both positive and negative ions
Electrolytes are substances which, in solution,

Heating
Hydrates can easily be broken up to form anhydrous compounds by
Unsaturated
Hydrocarbon compounds that contain at least one double or triple bond between two adjacent carbon atoms
Presence of Metallic Salts
In the compound water, hardness is caused by
Formaldehyde
It is produced by the oxidation of methanol, it is a colorless gas at room temperature, It is soluable in water
