Is camphor organic or inorganic?
Camphor is considered to be an organic compound. It is a naturally occurring substance derived from the wood of camphor trees or synthesized from the oil of turpentine.
Is turpentine soluble?
Turpentine is only soluble in organic solvents. However, it is insoluble in water since it is usually in form of oil.
How is turpentine made today?
Turpentine (AKA spirit of turpentine, oil of turpentine, wood turpentine, gum turpentine, and white spirit) is technically a blend of terpenes, mainly alpha-pinene and beta-pinene. It is still made from organic materials collected from the processing of pine pulp. The specific process leading to its production is the Kraft process where wood pulp destined to become paper is cooked in a strong caustic solution until the cellulose fibers can be collected. The rest of the organic material is distilled for organics removal. Turpentine is one of the products.

Ano ang turpentina?
Turpentina in English (which is also called spirit of turpentine, oil of turpentine, wood turpentine, terebenthene, terebinthine and (colloquially), turps) is a fluid obtained by the distillation of resin harvested from living trees, mainly pines. Mainly used as a specialized solvent, it is also a source of material for organic syntheses.
What happens when a person drinks turpentine?
It is not safe to drink turpentine oil. Turpentine oil is meant to be used on the skin. WebMD claims that when taken by mouth, turpentine oil can cause serious health problems including headache, sleeplessness, coughing, bleeding in the lungs, vomiting, kidney damage, miscarriage, coma, and death.
How does turpentine dissolve oil paint chemically?
Turpentine dissolves oil paint by acting as a solvent to break down the molecular bonds within the paint pigment. The organic compounds in turpentine are able to penetrate the paint layers, weakening the bonds between the pigment particles and the surface. This allows the paint to be lifted off the surface for cleaning or removal.
What is the viscosity of mineral turpentine oil?

Is turpentine an element or an compound?
Turpentine is not an element; it is a compound. Turpentine is a mixture of organic compounds obtained from pine trees, mainly composed of monoterpenes like alpha-pinene and beta-pinene.
Would turpentine settle to the bottom when mixed with water?
No. Turpentine does not sink in water. Like many oil based organic solvents, turpentine floats in pure water. Engineers and scientists use a measurement called Specific Gravity to measure how dense a liquid is in comparison to that of water. Pure turpentine has a Specific Gravity of 0.85(@25 deg Celsius). On the other hand, water has a specific gravity of 1.0. That means that turpentine at will eventually float to the top of a water bath.
Is mineral oil the same as mineral turpentine?
No. Because of the confusion between turpentine, mineral turpentine, mineral spirits and mineral oil, I have included links to all of these substances. All of the above except mineral oil are toxic if one drinks them. Turpentine is the only one that is not a petroleum distillate. Mineral oil as sold in a pharmacy is for constipation and to be used as directed. See related links.
