SOURCES OF ORGANIC COMPOUND :

 

There are two main source of organic compound namely things and minerals. These source are under as:

 

 

COAL:

              Coal is made up of variety of hydrocarbon. It is an important source of solid fossil fuel for us. It can  be found at various depth beneath the earth surface. Coal is formed in a  variety of ways.  Coal is said to have developed in nature 500 million years from the remnant of buried tree deep inside the soil. It was turned into peat as a result of bacterial and chemical process on the wood. Peat was converted into coal as a result of high temperature and process within the earth crust. Natural carbonization I the process of converting of wood into coal. Wood has a carbon content of 40%. Four variety of coal are created depending on the degree of carbonization.

United state , China , Russia , UK , Germany , Poland , Australia and Pakistan are the world top coal producer.

 

PETROLEUM:

                                        Petroleum is a thick dark brownish or greenish black liquid. It’s a complicated combination of solid, liquid , and gaseous hydrocarbons , together with  water, salt and earth particles.

 

Organic compounds are mostly derived from petroleum. It is made up of variety of substance, fractional distillation is used to separate these chemical ( separation of fraction or component from a liquid mixture depending upon their boiling point ranges is called fractional distillation ). Each fraction contain single chemical compound , rather than multiple component.

 

NATURAL GAS  :

                                                                     It’s a mixture of hydrocarbons with low molecular weight methane together with other gases such as ethane , propane an butane make up around 80% of the mixture

 

PLANTS:

                                     Macromolecules, such as carbohydrate, protein ,lipids, and vitamins are synthesized by living plant. Glucose is the fundamental unit of all carbohydrates, and it is produced by plant through photosynthesis. Starch, and cellulose are formed as glucose polymerizes further. Pulses and beans are high in protein. Protein are made by nitrogen fixing bacteria that live on the roots of plants. Seed from plant including sunflower, rapeseed ,palm, coconut, and groundnut contain oils. Apple and citrus fruit are high in vitamin. Plant provide us with gums, rubber, medication, and other products in addition to these primary food staples.
