Am going to write a few posts about organic chemistry, the half life, and the esters and esterfication.I will try explain what all of this means, and what is short chain or long chain. I will just focus on the tests. The other compounds can be on another day.
So all vegetable oils are different for one reason. The ratio and makeup of the fatty acids. So there is walnut oil,seasame oil,cottonseed oil and on it goes. These oils are like fingerprints because they all have different amounts and ratios of the same odl fatty acids over and over. You probably know a few of them, oleic acid,linoleic acid,proprionic acid, linolenic acid. Well these are all call acids because they all have at the end of their molecule a C=OH group. If this c=o group undergoes a reation with another compound such as test then the resulting molecule is call an ester. The process of connecting a fatty acid to the test molecule is called esterfication. If we say Chain we mean how many carbon atoms make of the train or the ester! Is it 1 carbon,12carbons,25 carbons... C or C-C ,C-C-C, C-C-C-C, and on it goes. So we have one carbon thru 4 carbons here. How about 8 carbons? That would be nonaic acid. 10 carbons deconaic acid, 12 carbons undecoanic acid. So here is undecoanic acid c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-=o-oh. Every dam one of these is same thing except for the number of carbons on the chain. All of organic chemistry works on this principal. Gases..the simplest is methane with 1 carbon with 4 hyrdrogens Ch4. One carbon is methane, c-c-oh is ethane,3 is proane, 4 is butane, 5 is pentane, heptane, octane, nonane, decane and on it goes again.
Alcohols- ch3ooh...1 carbon is methanol, 2 carbons is ethanol...hey ethanol...the only one you can drink!!! Then propanol, then butanol and on it goes again. Notice that it is always the same name....meth, eth, prop, butt, pent, hep...on it goes with every chemical there is. Now test is also a fatty acid,but to be exact these fatty acids and the test all belong to the group called carboxylic acids. Meaning c=oh. So test by itself has a molecular weight of 288.5. Molecular weight means we count up all of the carbons and hydrogens and other elements, add them up using a periodic chart. Now take test and hook it to cypionic acid and you have a new molecule ,a new compound called an ester or.. test cypionate. If it ends in ate it means there are no more active spots on the molecule. If it ends in ic then it is reactive. So we reacted test with cypionic acid and have a new molecular weight of 412.
So what % of test are we really getting when we shoot 100mgs of test cypionate? Ok the test weighs 288gms and the entire molecule weighs 412. So test cyp is actually only 69.9% test. So if we shoot 100mgs then we get 69.9 mgs from it.Yet if we shoot test prop it is 83.7% test, so 100mgs of test prop delivers 83.7mgs of test.
The reason is that the proprionic acid is a short chain so the ratio of test to the entire ester is close to each other. The smaller the chain the more test it delivers.
The drawback is the half life! Next post
