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.

products preserved correctly. It is most commonly used
in things that have a super high acidity rate. Those things
need to stay fresh and preserved and that is why Sodium
Benzoate is used.
