Course content
• Theory– Chemistry for the Health Sciences – G.I. Sackheim & D.D. Lehman– Applied Science for Nurses– I.M. Hofmeyr
• Practice: demonstrations in laboratory science– Chemical reactions– Physical processes
• Tests• Assignments• Final examination
Today
• Chemistry versus Physics– Chemical and physical change
• Matter– Mass and weight– Units– Conservation of mass
• States of matter– Solid, liquid, gas– Change of state– Properties
• Composition of matter– Elements, compounds, mixtures
Chemical & physical change
• CHEMISTRY– Change:
“Formation of new substances”“Making/breaking atomic bonds”
– Chemical reactions
• CHEMISTRY PHYSICS– Boiling water in a pan
• Physics: water becomes gas, but molecules are still the same– Burning glucose in your body
• Chemistry: water and carbon dioxide are formed– Milk became sour
• Chemistry: sour-tasting lactic acid is formed– Dissolving sugar in hot tea
• Physics: sugar molecules dispersed in water, but molecules are still the same
• PHYSICS– Change:
“No new substances”“Rearrangement of molecules”
– Physical processes
What is matter
• Topic of today: MATTER– Anything that occupies space– With a specific mass (weight)
Matter that we CANNOT see or feel
Matter that we CAN see or feel
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
Mass vs Weight
• Daily life: Mass is referred to as Weight • Science: Mass is not the same as Weight
– Mass = amount of matter in an object• Constant
– Weight = force experienced by an object due to gravity(depends on pull of gravity)
• Varies per “location”
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 1
Units
• SI system– To measure quantities– International system for units
• Fundamental units– Length: meter (m)– Mass: kilogram (kg)
• Or gram (1000 g = 1 kg)– Time: seconds (s)
• Not minutes, hours, days– Temperature: Kelvin (K)
• Absolute zero, “brrrrrrrrr”• Not degrees Celcius (K = °C + 273)
• Derived units– Volume: m3
• Or liter (1 m3 = 1000 L)• Derived from length
• Units in medicine– Length: meter (m)– Mass: gram (g)– Volume: liter (L)

Conversions
• Mass– 1 g = 10 dg = 100 cg = 1000 mg– 1 kg = 1000 g
• Length– 1 m = 10 dm = 100 cm = 1000 mm– 1 kg = 1000 m
• Volume– 1 L = 10 dL = 100 cL = 1000 mL – 1 kL = 1000 L = 1 m3
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 1
Conservation of mass
• Ancient Greek philosophy (500 BC)– “Nothing comes from nothing”– Early statement referring to…
• …Law of conservation of mass (1774)– “During chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed”– Mass before reaction (reactants) = Mass after reaction (products)
Antoine LavoisierSackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
Solid
• Piece of gold = solid– Definite shape
• Cannot be changed easily– Definite volume
• Cannot be changed easily– Particles are tightly packed (motion is restricted)
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
No flow
Liquid
• Pint of beer = liquid– No definite shape
• Can be poured from one glass to the other• Beer assumes shape of new glass
– Definite volume• Volume of beer remains the same regardless of glass
– Particles close together (motion is less restricted)
Flow
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
Gas
• When finished… empty bottle of beer filled with air = gas– No definite shape
• Gas can be transfered from one bottle to another– No definite volume
• More air can be forced in bottle– Particles are far from apart (motion is unrestricted)
• Low densitySackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
Solid, gas, liquid
• Definite shape• Definite volume• Particles tightly packed• No flow possibe• Incompressible• Expand slightly if heated
• No definite shape• Definite volume• Particle close together• Flow possible• Incompressible• Expand slightly if heated
• No definite shape• No definite volume• Particle far apart (low density)
• Compressible• Expand greatly if heated
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
Changes of state
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
Physical changes
• All about change in motion of particles– Melting/freezing– Evaporation/condensation– Sublimation
• T-t diagram– Phase changes
• Constant temperature
• Change the state: chemistry of physics?
Properties
• Distinguish materials: Properties – Identification– Sugar versus salt?
• Physical properties– Tells what a substance is– e.g. color, odor, taste, solubility, density, hardness, melting point
• Chemical properties– Tells what a substance does– e.g. reacting in air, reacting in acid, burning in flame
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
Elements
• Building blocks of matter: Elements– “cannot be broken down into any simpler substance”– Classification in two groups…
• Classification– Metals
• Conduct heat/electricity• Shiny surface, reflect light• High tensile strength• Easily processable• Solid or liquid at RT
• Elements identified by Symbols– Abbreviation of English name– Abbreviation of Latin name
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
– Nonmetals• Do not conduct heat/electricity very well• Not shiny, seldom reflect light• Frequently brittle• Not processable• Solid, liquid or gaseous at RT

Compounds
• Build from elements: Compounds– “can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means”
• Characteristics– Can be separated– Homogeneous
(every piece is the same)– Different properties compared
to substances from which theyoriginate
• Example: Water (H20)– Decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen– All water drops have same properties– Water has different properties
compared to hydrogen and oxygen
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
WaterWhat else?
Law of definite proportions
• Consider a pile of sugar– Sugar contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
– Two samples: both contain exact same percentage of C, H and O– This is in example of the law of definite proportions:
”Compounds are composed of fixed ratio of elements as determined by mass”– Sugar: Always 40% C, 7% H, 53% O
Sample 1:- Heat teaspoon of sugar until only carbon is left- Amount of carbon?
Sample 2:- Heat teaspoon of sugar until only carbon is left- Amount of carbon?
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2
Mixtures
• Combination of substances: Mixture– Either a combination of elements or compounds
• Characteristics (upcoming experiment)– No definite proportion / composition (unlike compounds)– Separated into their components by physical means– Components retain their individual properties
• Composition– Homogeneous
• Mixture of water and sugar: the same composition throughout
• Sugar cannot be distinguised anymore from the water
– Heterogeneous• Mixture of sugar and sand:
different composition throughout• One solid can be distinguished
from another
Sackheim’s Chemistry: Chapter 2

EXPERIMENT 001Title: Sugar with SandTopic: Separation by physical means
1. Composition is variable– Add more water or sand
2. How to separate?– Physical processes:
evaporation, filtering
3. Sugar and sand retain properties
