The Objectives:
Identify five traditional areas of
study in chemistry.
Relate pure chemistry to applied
chemistry.
Identify reasons to study chemistry.
Part I
Areas of study in chemistry
Chemistry
The study of:
What is matter?
Anything that:
has mass
and
occupies space (volume).
Mass vs Weight
Inorganic Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
The study of chemicals that
contain carbon.
Origin: study of chemicals in
living organisms.
Organic or Inorganic ?
Sulfuric Acid
Methane
H2SO4
CH4
Hydrochloric Acid
Ethane
C 2H 6
HCl
Analytical Chemistry
Composition of matter.
Ex:
Mass
Spectrometer
Gas

Physical Chemistry
The study of :
The mechanism
The rate
The energy transfer
Biochemistry
Study of processes that take
place in organisms.
Chemistry of living things
Science
What?
Why?
How?
When?
Science Pure
Technology Applied
Has practical applications in
society.
Engineering.

Microscopic- Macroscopic
Micro (small)
Macro-(from afar)
Physical chemistry
A physical chemist study
factors that effect
breathing rates during
exercise
Organic chemistry
Athletes inhale chemicals
developed by organic
chemist to control
symptoms of asthma.
Analytical chemistry
Analytical chemist develop
test to detect chemicals in
the blood. The test help to
show if organs in the body
are working properly.
Biochemistry
A biochemist study how
the energy used for the
concentration of muscles
is produced and stored
Inorganic chemistry
An organic chemist
explain how a lack of
calcium can affect the
growth and repair of
bones.
