ORGANIC CHEMISTRY PRODUCT INVESTIGATION CARD

1. PRODUCT INFORMATION 2. PRODUCT PICTURE 3. MAIN ORGANIC INGREDIENT 5. CLASSIFICATION

Ingredient: Limonene (calamansi peel) Cyclic aliphatic compound


Product Name: Disinfectant Spray
The ring has no alternating double bonds or benzene structure,
Brand: CitraClean so it isn't aromatic.
4. MOLECULAR / STRUCTURAL FORMULA

Category: Multipurpose Disinfectant Molecular formula: C₁₀H₁₆


6. FUNCTIONAL GROUP
Structural formula:
Group Members: Juan Sunga, Hanz Gabriel, Marky Alkene (C=C)
Osuyos, Frince Gallego, Fritz Galuno, Elifry Panagiton,
Christynelle Dorothy Beluso, Yuri Aduana, Quin Sorilla How this group affects the product's behavior: The two C=C bonds
make limonene reactive enough to disrupt bacterial membranes and
cut grease, while its nonpolar structure dissolves oils.

7. USES OF THE PRODUCT 8. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 9. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

• Disinfects kitchen counters, bathroom surfaces, and doorknobs • Use on surfaces only, keep away from eyes Biodegradable: Yes

• Kills or lowers bacteria and mold on contact • Flammable, keep away from open flame or heat
Water pollution risk: Low
• Cuts grease, so it doubles as a light all-purpose cleaner • Store somewhere out of direct sunlight
• Smells like fresh calamansi, no harsh chemical smell • Keep away from small children
Proper disposal: Don’t dump large amounts down the drain or in
| waterways — follow local rules

10. SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION (HOTS) TEACHER'S NOTES / SCORE


Scientific Accuracy: ____ / 10
How does the structure and functional group of the compound make the product effective for its intended use?
Limonene is made mostly of carbon and hydrogen, so it doesn’t mix with water — it mixes with oils and fats instead. That’s the first reason it works so Analysis & Explanation: ____ / 10
well as a cleaner: it grabs onto grease the same way oil grabs onto oil. The two double bonds in its structure make the molecule more reactive, letting it Creativity & Presentation: ____ / 10
break into the outer layer of bacteria and stop mold from spreading. Because it evaporates fast, it doesn’t leave a sticky film behind, just the smell of
calamansi. Put together, the nonpolar structure and the reactive double bonds are what make limonene from calamansi peel good at both disinfecting Oral Presentation: ____ / 10
and light cleaning.
TOTAL: ____ / 40
