Organic Clothing, A Safe Choice For Everyone

People around the world are becoming aware of our environment's situation. There are so many factors that contribute to the depletion of our ecosystems including human activities and technological changes.

This awareness has brought about concerns to help restore our environment's condition. Each one of us has to do something to reduce these environmental risks. And it has to start somewhere; with each individual. The use of organic clothing is one good way to start.

Today, organic clothing is a safe choice for everyone. Organic clothing is clothing made from materials raised or grown in compliance with organic agricultural standards. One main ingredient for such product is cotton. Cotton is the world's most popular fabric. It is soft and comfortable and it is used in almost every type of clothing like socks, shirts, sweaters, dresses, jackets, sleepwear, sportswear and a lot more. However, traditional farming of cotton can be hard on the environment it uses a lot of chemicals in order to grow. Organic clothing materials come from plants that have not been radiated genetically modified or treated with synthetic or chemical pesticides. And if you are aware of the hazards that you'll get, you should consider using clothes made organically produced cotton.

The use of organic clothing can help the environment in so many ways. Organic fabrics are manufactured without using harmful chemicals; therefore exposure of humans, animals and the environment to toxins are lessened. You must take note however, that any product labeled as organic, whether socks or shirts, it must meet the national standards set up by The National Organic Standards Board. You must make sure that the products you are buying are truly organic.

Organic products like organic clothing are very beneficial to mankind because it lowers our exposure to toxins that we get from pesticides and it is at the same time friendly to the ecosystems.

HELP - 11th grade organic chemistry : What's the relative molecular mass and the formula of the alcohol?

1.6 grams of alcohol was found to react with excess of metallic sodium producing 0.56 dm^3 of hydrogen gas measured at standard temperature and pressure (s.t.p). What's the molecular mass of the alcohol and what's the formula?

idea here is ...

2 R-OH + Na -----> 2 R-O-Na + H2

so let's

1) calculate moles H2 from PV = nRT
2) calculate moles R-OH from the balanced equation.
3) calculate molar mass R-OH from moles = mass / molar mass..
4) then the formula...

*** 1 ***

PV = nRT
n = PV/RT

P = 1 atm
V = 0.56 dm³ x (10 cm / 1 dm)³ x (1 ml / 1 cm³) x (1 L / 1000 mL) = 0.56 L
R = 0.0821 L atm/moleK
T = 273 K

n = (1 atm) x (0.56 L) / [ (0.0821 Latm/moleK) x (273K) ] = 0.0250 moles H2

*** 2 ***

from balanced equation, 2 moles alcohol ---> 1 mole H2

0.0250 moles H2 x (2 moles Alcohol / 1 mole H2) = 0.0500 moles R-OH

*** 3 ***

moles = mass / molar mass
molar mass = mass / moles = 1.6 g / 0.0500 moles = 32 g/mole

*** 4 ***

you know the formula has 32 g/mole. you also know it contains at least 1 O and 1 H. Which have mass = 17 g/mole. So the remainder of the alcohol can have only 32 -17 = 15 g/mole

Since the alcohol needs a carbon, mass = 12, there are only 3 g/mole left. that has to be 3 H's...

makes your compound... CH3-OH.. methanol.. methyl alcohol.
