CHEMISTRYMedicines containing derivatives of salicylic acid, structurally similar to aspirin, have been in medical use since ancient times. Salicylate-rich willow bark extract became recognized for its specific effects on fever, pain and inflammation in the mid-eighteenth century.

In 1897, scientists at the drug and dye firm Bayer began investigating acetylsalicylic acid as a less-irritating replacement for standard common salicylate medicines. By 1899, Bayer had dubbed this drug Aspirin and was selling it around the world. The name Aspirin is derived from A = Acetyl and "Spirsäure" = an old (German) name for salicylic acid.

At the beginning of 20th century heroin was touted as a wonder drug promising to solve all of life's maladies ranging from tuberculosis to a disagreeable stomach.

Question: What Is Chemistry?

Answer: If you look 'chemistry' up in Webster's Dictionary, you'll see:

"chem·is·try n., pl. –tries”

1. the science that systematically studies the composition, properties, and activity of organic and inorganic substances and various elementary forms of matter.

2. chemical properties, reactions, phenomena, etc.: the chemistry of carbon.

3. a. sympathetic understanding; rapport. b. sexual attraction.

4. the constituent elements of something; the chemistry of love.

CHEMISTRY

El Camino College Chemistry 21A Dr. Dragan Marinkovic

Chemistry (from Egyptian kēme (chem), meaning "earth“

1)Chemistry is the science concerned with the composition, structure,

and properties of matter, as well as the changes it undergoes

during chemical reactions.

2) Chemistry is a physical science for studies of various atoms, molecules, crystals and other aggregates of matter whether in isolation or

combination, which incorporates the concepts of energy and

entropy in relation to the spontaneity of chemical processes.

Modern chemistry evolved out of alchemy after the

chemical revolution (1773)

Why Study Chemistry?

Because understanding chemistry helps you to understand the world around you. Cooking is chemistry. Everything you can touch or taste or smell is a chemical.

When you study chemistry, you come to understand a bit about how things work.

Chemistry isn't secret knowledge, useless to anyone but a scientist.

It's the explanation for everyday things, like why laundry detergent works better in hot water, or how baking soda works, or why not all pain relievers work equally well on a headache.

If you know some chemistry, you can make educated choices about everyday products that you use.

CHEMISTRY 21A

The real importance of Chemistry is that it serves as the interface to practically all of the

other sciences, as well as to many other areas of human endeavor.

For this reason, Chemistry is often said (at

least by chemists!) to be the "central science".

Chemistry can be "central" in a much more

personal way: with a solid background in Chemistry, you will find it far easier to

migrate into other fields as your interests develop.

(scientific terms): PROPERTIES OF MATTER

Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter.

Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter.

Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, and many others.

El Camino College Chemistry 21A Dr. Dragan Marinkovic

MATTER

Chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during a chemical reaction.

Chemical property is any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's composition.

Simply speaking, chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance.

The substance's internal structure must be affected for its chemical properties to be investigated.

SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Scientific method refers to bodies of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.

To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable,

empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.

The essential elements of a scientific method are:

Characterizations (observations, definitions, and measurements of the subject of inquiry)

Hypotheses (theoretical, hypothetical explanations of observations and measurements of the subject)

Predictions (reasoning including logical deduction from the hypothesis or theory)

Experiments (tests of all of the above)

•Gather information and resources (observe)•Form hypothesis•Perform experiment and collect data•Analyze data•Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis•Publish results•Retest (frequently done by other scientists)

energy (from the Greek ἐνέργεια - energeia "activity, operation", from ἐνεργός - energos, "active, working") is a scalar physical quantity that describes the amount of work that can be performed by a force.

Energy is an attribute of objects and systems that is subject to a conservation law. Several different forms of energy exist to explain all known natural phenomena. These forms include (but are not limited to) kinetic, potential, thermal, gravitational, sound, light, elastic, and electromagnetic energy. The forms of energy are often named after a related force. Any form of energy can be transformed into another form, but the total energy always remains the same.

CALCULATING PERCENTAGES

What is a percentage?

Percent means “for every 100” or "out of 100." The (%) symbol as a quick way to write a fraction with a denominator of 100. As an example, instead of saying "it rained 14 days out of every 100," we say "it rained 14% of the time."

12 people out of a total of 25 were female. What percentage were female?

The price of a $1:50 candy bar was to be increased by 20%. What was the new price?

LARGE AND SMALL NUMBERSScientific notation is simply a method for expressing, and working with, very large or very small numbers.

5.67 x 105

This is the scientific notation for the standard number, 567 000. Now look at the number again, with the three parts labeled.

5.67 x 105         coefficient base exponent

1. The coefficient must be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.2. The base must be 10.3. The exponent must show the number of decimal places that the decimal needs to be moved to change the number to standard notation. A negative exponent means that the decimal is moved to the left when changing to standard notation.

Changing numbers from scientific notation to standard notation. Ex.1 Change 6.03 x 107 to standard notation.

remember, 107 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10 000 000 so, 6.03 x 107 = 6.03 x 10 000 000 = 60 300 000

answer = 60 300 000Instead of finding the value of the base, we can simply move the decimal seven places to the right

because the exponent is 7.So, 6.03 x 107 = 60 300 000

Now let us try one with a negative exponent.Ex.2 Change 5.3 x 10-4 to standard notation.

The exponent tells us to move the decimal four places to the left.so, 5.3 x 10-4 = 0.00053

El Camino College Chemistry 21A Dr. Dragan Marinkovic

LARGE AND SMALL NUMBERS

Rule for Multiplication - When you multiply numbers with scientific notation, multiply the coefficients together and add the exponents. The base will remain 10.

Ex 1. Multiply (3.45 x 107) x (6.25 x 105)first rewrite the problem as: (3.45 x 6.25) x (107 x 105)

Then multiply the coefficients and add the exponents: 21.5625 x 1012

Then change to correct scientific notation: 2.16 x 1013

NOTE - we add one to the exponent because we moved the decimal one place to the left.

Rule for Division - When dividing with scientific notation, divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents. The base will remain 10.

Ex. 1 Divide 3.5 x 108 by 6.6 x 104 rewrite the problem as: 3.5 x 108

--------- 6.6 x 104

Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents to get: 0.530303 x 104 Change to correct scientific notation to get: 5.30303 x 103

Note - We subtract one from the exponent because we moved the decimal one place to the right.

Rule for Addition and Subtraction - when adding or subtracting in scientific notation, you must express the numbers as the same power of 10. This will often involve changing the decimal place of the coefficient.

Ex. 1 Add 3.76 x 104 and 5.5 x 102 move the decimal to change 5.5 x 102 to 0.055 x 104

add the coefficients and leave the base and exponent the same: 3.76 + 0.055 = 3.815 x 104

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

"The population of our city is 157,872.""The number of registered voters as of Jan 1 was 27,833."

The first statement cannot possibly be correct. Even if a city’s population could be defined in a precise way (Permanent residents? Warm bodies?), how can we account for the minute-by minute changes that occur as people are born and die, or move in and move away?

Making sure that numbers make sense

157900 (the significant digits are underlined here) implies that the population is believed to be within the range of about 157850 to about 157950. In other words, the population is 157900±50. The “plus-or-minus 50” appended to this number means that we consider the absolute uncertainty of the

population measurement to be 50 – (–50) = 100. We can also say that the relative uncertainty is 100/157900, which we can also express as 1 part in 1579, or 1/1579 = 0.000633, or about 0.06 percent.

The value 158000 implies that the population is likely between about 157500 and 158500, or 158000±500. The absolute uncertainty of 1000 translates into a relative uncertainty of 1000/158000 or 1

part in 158, or about 0.6 percent.

El Camino College Chemistry 21A Dr. Dragan Marinkovic

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

A significant digit is all the numerals in a measured quantity (counting from the left) whose values are considered as known exactly, plus one more whose value could be one more or one less.

The concept of significant digits has less to do with mathematics than with our confidence in a measurement.

Rounding off always leads to the loss of numeric information, what we are getting rid of can be considered to be “numeric noise” that does not contribute to the quality of the measurement.

The purpose in rounding off is to avoid expressing a value to a greater degree of precision than is consistent with the uncertainty in the measurement.

El Camino College Chemistry 21A Dr. Dragan Marinkovic

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

The concept of significant digits has less to do with

mathematics than with our confidence in a measurement.

It is "six point something": more than six but less than seven. With certainty we can say it is in the range of 6 to 7. Exactly where in that range is a estimate. We might guess it is 40% of the way, just less than halfway, between 6 and 7 or 6.4.

If we had more marks on the scale we could make a better guess.

It is clear that our estimate was close, but the measurement still does not align with a mark. Not only that, but we are having trouble reading the marks now because they are so fine. Now we can estimate with a higher precision that the measurement is 6.39, although you might say that it is 6.38 or even 6.40. Whatever it is, your best guess is 'correct' although it is not certain.Note the distinction between 6.4, 6.40, and 6.400. The three numbers indicate that the measurements were made with three different instruments. If you don't understand why they are different carefully readthe section on significant figures below.

If the first non-significant digit is less than 5, then the least significant digit remains unchanged. If the first non-significant digit is greater than 5, the least significant digit is incremented by 1. If the first non-significant digit is 5, the least significant digit can either be incremented or left unchanged, All non-significant digits are removed.

34.216 / 3 34.2 First non-significant digit (1) is less than 5, so number is simply truncated.

2.252 / 2 2.2 or 2.3

First non-significant digit is 5, so least sig. digit can either remain unchanged or be incremented.

39.99 / 3 40.0 Crossing "decimal boundary", so all numbers change.

85,381 / 3 85,400 The two zeros are just placeholders

0.04597 / 3 0.0460 The two leading zeros are not significant digits.

MATTER

Matter exists in three distinct physical states:

GAS

LIQUID and

SOLID

El Camino College Chemistry 21A Dr. Dragan Marinkovic

MATTER

Gases take the shape of a container and fully fill the (closed) container – i.e. have the same

volume as the inside of the container.

Solids retain the shape regardless of the size or shape of the container they are in.

Liquids take the shape of a container, but retain their volume.

El Camino College Chemistry 21A Dr. Dragan Marinkovic

MATTER

Scientific models are explanation of observed behaviour.

A MODEL OF MATTER

All matter is made up of particles that are too small to see. These particles are named MOLECULES.

MOLECULES are the smallest particle of pure substance that has properties of that substance and is capable of stable independent existence.

MOLECULE is the limit of physical subdivision for a pure substance.Any further separation has to be done chemically creating new entities that would not have the properties of the larger sample.

The smaller particles that make up MOLECULES are called ATOMS.

Basic concepts of MODEL OF MATTER:

MATTER

A MODEL OF MATTER

3. Compounds consisted of atoms of different elements combined together.

4. Compounds have constant composition because they contain a

fixed ratio of atoms and each atom has its own characteristic weight, thus fixing the weight ratio of one element to the other.

5. Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement, separation or combinations of atoms, but the atoms are never created or destroyed

John Dalton developed first ATOMIC THEORY (1808).

1. Elements (and all matter) consist of tiny particles called atoms. 2. All atoms of an element are identical and they have the same mass.

The reason elements differ from one another is that atoms of each

element are different from one another; in particular, they have different masses.

El Camino College Chemistry 21A Dr. Dragan Marinkovic

DENSITY

Each box has the same volume. If each ball has the same mass, which box would weigh more? Why?

The box that has more balls has more mass per unit of volume. This property of matter is called density.

The density of a material helps to distinguish it from other materials.
