What is Chemistry?
❑Chemistry is the study of matter and
the changes that matter undergoes.
❑Chemistry has been called the
“central science” because it is
important to so many other fields of
scientific study
❑Matter is the physical material of
the universe; it is anything that has
mass and occupies space.
Chemistry in our lives.
❑ Examples:
1.Molecules align in the liquid crystal
display of your alarm clock and
electrons flow to create a noise.
2.You jump in the shower to
emulsify fatty substances on your
skin and hair with purified water
and formulated detergents.
Chemistry in our lives.
❑ Examples:
3. You adorn yourself in an array of
processed chemicals—pleasant-
smelling pigmented materials
suspended in cosmetic gels, dyed
polymeric fibers, synthetic footwear,
and metal-alloyed jewelry
Chemistry in our lives.
❑ Examples:
4. Breakfast is a bowl of nutrient-
enriched, spoilage-retarded cereal
and milk, a piece of fertilizer-grown,
pesticide- treated fruit, and a cup of a
hot aqueous solution of stimulating
alkaloid
Chemistry in our lives.
❑ Examples:
5. Washing of Hands.
Chemistry in engineering.
❑ “Engineering is the profession in which
a knowledge of the mathematical and
natural sciences gained by study,
experience, and practice is applied with
judgment to develop ways to utilize,
economically, the materials and forces
of nature for the benefit of mankind.”
Chemistry in engineering.
❑ Chemistry for Mechanical Engineers
Early movers: such as steam turbines,
combustion engines, machine tools, pumps and
compressors, cooling and heating, and certain
chemical appliances.
Chemistry in engineering.
❑ Chemistry for Mechanical Engineers
Physical properties and phenomena that occur
in a material. This includes the properties of the
material in support of tension, pressure, or twist.
Chemistry in engineering.
❑ Chemistry for Chemical Engineers
Processing of raw materials into more useful
items, either in the form of finished goods or semi-
finished goods.
Chemistry in engineering.
❑ Chemistry for Chemical Engineers
Design and maintenance of chemical processes.
“Process engineers”. Conduct research aimed at
discovering new materials and techniques: such as
nanotechnology, fuel cells, and biomedical engineering.
Chemistry in engineering.
❑ Chemistry for Biotechnology Engineers
Research in stem cell development also
allows stroke patients or other diseases that
result in loss or damage to body tissues can
heal as before.
Chemistry in engineering.
❑ Chemistry for Industrial Engineers Basic for
industrial engineering. An example of the
implementation of chemistry by the
Industry is the use of fertilizers in the field
of agriculture.
Chemistry in engineering.
❑ Chemistry for Civil Engineers
The application of Chemistry in civil
engineering has a similarity with Mechanical
Engineering.
How Chemistry and Engineering
transformed Aluminum
❑Where did the can of
this soda came from?
❑Aluminum is light but fairly
strong
❑An aluminum can is lighter
than steel or tin can
How Chemistry and Engineering
transformed Aluminum
❑In the 19th century,
Aluminum is a rare and
precious metal
❑Napoleon Bonaparte
impressed guests before
using aluminum table wares
How Chemistry and Engineering
transformed Aluminum
❑Before in US, architects
chose to use a100 ounce
Aluminum for the capstone
of a renowned Washington
monument
❑Nowadays, you can find 100
pounds of Aluminum in a
shop
Facts about Aluminum
❑3rd most abundant element
after Oxygen and Silicon
❑Occurs in an ore called
“Bauxite”.
Combination of rocks and
aluminum with oxygen
❑Extracting from ore and
purifying Aluminum is
challenging and expensive
Three levels of understanding
From Scientific Method
1. MACROSCOPIC
2. MICROSCOPIC
3. SYMBOLIC
Macroscopic
❑ Physical properties- we can measure without
changing the identity of the substance
❑ Mass is measured by comparing the object given and
some standard, using a balance.
❑ Density is a ratio of mass to volume. (This variable is
sometimes called mass density).
❑ Chemical properties are associated with the types of
chemical changes that a substance undergoes.
❑ Malleability is a measure of a material’s ability to be
rolled or hammered into thin sheets, and metals are
valuable in part because of their malleability
Microscopic
❑All matter comprises a limited number of
“building blocks,” called elements.
❑ Atoms are unimaginably small particles that
cannot be made any smaller and still behave
like a chemical system.
❑Molecules are groups of atoms held together
so that they form a unit whose identity is
distinguishably different from the atoms
alone.
Macroscopic & Microscopic
Symbolic
❑Use symbols to represent the atoms,
molecules, and reactions that make up
the science
❑Created by Dimitri Mendeleev
Numbers and Measurements
❑International System of Units (Système International
d’Unités, or SI), carefully defined units are combined
with a set of prefixes that designate powers of ten
Numbers and Measurements
Numbers and Measurements
Significant figures
1. All non-zero numbers ARE significant. The
number 33.2 has THREE significant figures
because all of the digits present are non-zero.
2. Zeros between two non-zero digits ARE
significant. 2051 has FOUR significant figures. The
zero is between a 2 and a 5.
3. Leading zeros are NOT significant. They're
nothing more than "place holders." The number
0.54 has only TWO significant figures. 0.0032 also
has TWO significant figures. All of the zeros are
leading.
Significant figures
4. Trailing zeros to the right of the decimal ARE
significant. There are FOUR significant figures in
92.00.
5. Trailing zeros in a whole number with the
decimal shown ARE significant. For example,
"540." indicates that the trailing zero IS
significant; there are THREE significant figures in
this value.
Significant figures
6. Trailing zeros in a whole number with no
decimal shown are NOT significant. Writing just
"540" indicates that the zero is NOT significant,
and there are only TWO significant figures in this
value.
7. Exact numbers have an INFINITE number of
significant figures. This rule applies to numbers
that are definitions.
For example,
1 meter = 1.00 meters=1.0000meters=
1.0000000000000000000 meters, etc.
Significant figures
8. For a number in scientific notation: N x 10x, all
digits comprising N ARE significant by the first 6
rules; "10" and "x" are NOT significant.
5.02 x 104 has THREE significant figures: "5.02."
"10 and "4" are not significant.
