Compound 1:Ferrous Sulfate• Molecular Compound: FeSO4• Organic or inorganic? Ferrous Sulfate is an inorganic

compound because there is no Carbon or Hydrogen located anywhere in the compound.

• Uses: Ferrous Sulfate is a type of iron. Irons such as Ferrous Sulfate help make sure that our blood is working properly and efficently. To relate this back to our original product which is Macaroni and Cheese the Ferrous Sulfate is apart of our normal diet to make sure that our blood can flow and receive oxygen properly.

Compound 2: Thiamine Mononitrate• Molecular Formula: C12H17ClNO3S• Inorganic or Organic? This is an organic compound

because as we can see by the molecular formula there is 12 Carbon atoms and 17 Hydrogen Atoms. • Uses: Thiamine Mononitrate is a salt with Vitamin B12. It

is a white powder and is used in foods so that people can get the recommended daily supplement. It’s used to treat malnutrition.

Compound 3: Riboflavin

• Molecular Formula: C17H20N4O6• Organic or inorganic? This is an organic compound

because it has 17 carbon atoms and 20 Hydrogen atoms. • Uses: Riboflavin is also called Vitamin B2. It is easy to get

because it is in most foods. Riboflavin helps with the growth of your body and the production of red blood cells. In America it is in most of the foods we eat, so not a lot of people have a riboflavin deficiency.

Compound 4: Disodium Phosphate• Molecular Compound: Na2HPO4• Organic or Inorganic? Disodium Phosphate is an inorganic

compound because it doesn’t have carbon bonded to it. • Uses: Disodium Phosphate is a clear powdery atom. It

helps with the use of enzymes and energy for the metabolism. Disodium Phosphate helps control the PH or acidity level of most foods. It would be in Macaroni and Cheese because the cheese needs to stay at a neutral level or else it wouldn’t be safe to eat.

Compound 5: Niacin

• Molecular Compound: C6H5NO2• Organic or Inorganic? Niacin is an organic compound

because it has 6 carbons and 5 hydrogen element's • Uses: Niacin is one of the most important nutritional

elements that a body can have. It is also vitamin B3. Vitamin B3 or Niacin is used to lower cholesterol and to keep the niacin levels in your body at a controlled number.

Compound 1: Potassium Chloride• Molecular Compound: • Organic or Inorganic: This Compound is inorganic because it is not

linked to a carbon or hydrogen atom which would then make it organic.

• Uses: Potassium Chloride is used to keep potassium at a constant level in your body. Making sure you have a regulated potassium level is important because potassium controls your kidney, cells, muscles, heart, and nerves. If you don’t have enough potassium in you it could eventually kill you, and potassium chloride is a molecule that balances it all out.

Compound 2: Ascorbic Acid• Molecular Compound: C6H8O6• Inorganic or Organic? This is an organic compound because it

is linked with both carbon and hydrogen, therefore making it organic.

• Uses: Asorbic acid is also known as Vitamin C. We all know that vitamin C helps heal wounds, protects us from colds, it helps move carbs, fats, and proteins, and if we don’t have enough of it we can get diseases like scurvy that will eventually kill us.

Compound 3: Nickel Sulfate

• Molecular Compound: NiSO4(H2O)6• Organic or Inorganic?: This is an inorganic compound

because it doesn’t have hydrogen or Carbon Atoms linked with it. • Uses: Nickel Sulfate is a blue substance that is used to

observe nickel. It would be used in the vitamins because nickel in your body is not healthy and the nickel sulfate will observe it so you can be healthy.

Compound 4: Manganese Sulfate• Molecular Compound: MnSO4• Organic or Inorganic? Manganese Sulfate is inorganic

because it isn’t linked with either a hydrogen or carbon atom. • Uses: Manganese Sulfate is used to help prevent

manganese deficiencies. Therefore when it is in your daily vitamin supplement you are taking a precaution of getting a manganese deficiency.

Compound 5: Potassium Iodide• Molecular Compound: KI• Inorganic or Organic? Potassium Iodide is an inorganic

compound because it doesn’t have a carbon or hydrogen element.

• Uses: Potassium Iodide is a stable salt without any radioactive products. Potassium Iodide helps your thyroid gland by blocking the absorption of radioactive iodide. Your thyroid gland will absorb any type of salt it can get, but if it has Potassium Iodide it helps prevent all the bad radioactivity.
