Science 9 Quarter 2 Module 5: Uses of Organic Compounds

Grade 9 Science Q2 Module 5 self-learning module on the uses and properties of common organic compounds like LPG, butane, acetylene, and alcohol.

This is the Grade 9 Science self-learning module for Quarter 2 (Matter), Module 5: Uses of Organic Compounds. It was written for learners studying at home and comes from the Department of Education National Capital Region (First Edition, 2020). After working through it, learners should be able to name common organic compounds, explain what each is used for, and describe some of their properties.

What learners will learn

The module focuses on this learning competency:

  • Explain how the structure of the carbon atom affects the type of bonds form. (S9MT-IIg-h-17)

After going through the module, learners are expected to:

  • determine the different uses of organic compounds and cite examples of each organic compound;
  • find the properties of common organic compounds through experimentation; and
  • appreciate the uses of organic compounds.

The module has one lesson, Lesson 1: Uses of Organic Compounds. It builds on the previous module, which covered the differences between organic and inorganic compounds. It asks learners to think about three key questions:

  1. What are the uses of organic compounds?
  2. What are the examples of each organic compound?
  3. What are the properties of common organic compounds?

Common organic compounds and their uses

The module ties each compound to everyday situations at home, in school, and at work. These are the examples it uses in its stories, tests, and answer key:

CompoundUses named in the module
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)Cooking fuel. It is propane and butane in liquid form.
ButaneFuel for cigarette lighters and other small lighters, disposable lighters, and fuel canisters for camping stoves and lanterns. Also used in gasoline blending and as a solvent for extracting fragrances.
AcetyleneArtificial ripening of fruits, and oxy-acetylene welding and cutting of metals
GasolineFuel for cars. It is flammable, so children should not play with it.
Isopropyl alcoholCleaning wounds so they do not get contaminated. Also used to make alcohol wipes, swabs, hand sanitizers, disinfectants, and mouthwash.
Lubricating oilKeeps metal parts, such as bicycle parts, from rusting quickly
KeroseneFuel, and removing paint from a paint brush
Ethyl alcoholBeverages, antiseptic, and fuel
AcetoneCleaner
FormaldehydeEmbalming bodies, preserving tissue specimens, and sterilizing soil
EstersGive many flowers, perfumes, and ripe fruits their distinctive smells and flavors

The What’s In part opens with a short story. A mother and daughter find that their LPG tank is empty, so they cook with a butane stove instead. The What’s New part looks at isopropyl alcohol and the COVID-19 pandemic. It explains that the pharmaceutical industry uses isopropyl alcohol to make many of the sanitizing products people rely on.

Properties and bonds

The module also asks why it matters to know the properties of common liquid materials. The reasons it gives are to understand how they work, to know their uses, and to know the possible dangers they pose. The activities have learners compare properties such as:

  • how a liquid flows
  • its chemical behavior
  • its smell
  • its melting point
  • its boiling point

To link back to the competency on carbon bonding, the pretest asks which hydrocarbon has a double bond. The answer is propene.

How to use this module

The module follows the usual parts of a DepEd self-learning module:

  1. What I Know: answer the 10-item pretest first to see what you already know.
  2. What’s In and What’s New: review the butane story and read about isopropyl alcohol.
  3. Activities: do the activities, such as identifying compounds, matching compounds to their uses, and studying their properties.
  4. Assessment: take the post-test to check what you learned.
  5. Additional Activities: look for common organic compounds in your home, list them in a table, and write the uses of each.

Tips for each reader:

  • Learners: write all answers on a separate sheet of paper and do not mark the module. Use the answer key honestly, only after you finish each part.
  • Parents and facilitators: the module includes Notes to the Teacher with strategies for helping your child learn at home.
  • Teachers: the home inventory in Additional Activities is a simple way to see whether learners can connect the lesson to compounds they use every day.

What’s In

[illustration: hand holding a puzzle piece]

Let’s recall your understanding of concepts of organic compound application

A mother and daughter are living together. One morning the mother needed to leave their house for work. The mother told her daughter to cook their lunch. She instructed her daughter to cook using their stove, but unfortunately their LPG is empty. They have a stock of butane stove. The daughter asked her mother what butane is? Butane is blended with propane and other hydrocarbons. It is used for fuel primarily in cigarette or other small lighters; it is also used for gasoline blending as fuel gas, fragrance extraction solvent. So, the daughter got an idea to make use of butane stove to cook for their dinner.

Guide Questions:

  1. What is butane?
  2. How is butane utilized in the situation above?

I can’t transcribe pages 9 to 16 from this upload, because they aren’t in it. The attachment contains eight pages, numbered 1 to 8 in the file, and they are printed pages 5 to 12 of “CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module 4,” not the “Science-9_Q2_Mod5_USES-OF-ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS” file you named.

I haven’t transcribed these pages, because publishing Module 4 text under the Module 5 article would put the wrong document’s words on the page.

To continue, please upload the Module 5 PDF pages 9 to 16 as images. If the earlier pages were transcribed separately, I can match their style. If you meant for me to transcribe the Module 4 pages that were uploaded, tell me and I’ll do that instead, with page markers 5 to 12 as printed.
