1 The scope of Chemistry

2 Objectives  1.1a Explain why the scope of chemistry is so vast.  1.1b Identify five traditional areas of study in chemistry.  1.1c Identify the central themes of chemistry.  1.2a Identify three general reasons to study chemistry.  1.2b Identify some outcomes of modern research in chemistry.

3 What is Chemistry?  Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space  Chemistry: The study of matter and the changes it undergoes

4 The five traditional areas of chemistry:  Organic Chemistry: The study of all chemicals containing carbon

5 The five traditional areas of chemistry:  Inorganic Chemistry: The study of chemicals that do not contain carbon

6 The five traditional areas of chemistry:  Biochemistry: The study of (chemical) processes that take place inside living organisms

7 The five traditional areas of chemistry:  Analytical Chemistry: The area of study that focuses on the composition of matter

8 The five traditional areas of chemistry:  Physical Chemistry: The area that deals with mechanism, rate and energy transfer when matter undergoes a change

9 Pure and applied Chemistry Pure ChemistryApplied Chemistry  Pursuit of Chemical Knowledge for its own sake.  Research directed towards a practical goal and application.

10 What branch of chemistry?  Measure the level of lead in blood  Analytical Chemistry  Study non-carbon based chemicals in rocks  Inorganic Chemistry  Investigate changes that occur as food is digested in the stomach  Biochemistry  Study carbon-based chemicals in coal  Organic Chemistry  Explain the energy transfer that occurs when ice melts  Physical Chemistry

22 1.2 Chemistry and you (p.6-11) Why study Chemistry?  Being an informed citizen  You will (or at least, should) vote after you turn 18  Think of some political issues that deal with chemistry or science in general

23 Chemistry, technology, and society  Look at some of the electronics in the classroom.  What is similar about their construction?  Why are they made this way?  Look at the graph on p. 8  How much plastic waste do you think was produced prior to 1960?  What do you think accounted for the increase in plastic waste around 1960?

24 Technology  Technology is the means by which a society provides its members with those things needed and desired Internet comes out of this end

Interpret Graphs Note: The amount of plastics packaging in U.S. waste includes plastics packaging that is to be recycled. Although plastics are a part of most of our daily lives, there is concern that their use is taking a toll on the environment and on natural resources. Year 15,000 12,500 10,000 7500 5000 2500 0 Waste produced (thousands of tons) 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2007

26 Examples of technology with chemistry  Materials and the environment  Energy

27 Examples of Technology  Medicine/Biotechnology  The universe

By analyzing light from stars, scientists can study their composition, and data gathered by probes can be used to analyze matter in space.

31 Current Event Assignment  Find an article about a current event in chemistry. Here are some possible websites:  www.chemistry.about.com/og/chemistryinthenews www.chemistry.about.com/og/chemistryinthenews  www.cen.acs.org www.cen.acs.org  www.nytimes.com/pages/science/index/html www.nytimes.com/pages/science/index/html  Write a summary of the article in 2 paragraphs.  Answer the following OEQ:  Developments in Chemistry can have an impact on the political, economical, or technological world. Some are just there to advance our knowledge of the natural world  Which category does your article fall under? Why?  How could this development impact your life personally?

32 Homework!  Finish Current Event Assignment

33 Homework:  Read 1.1 and 1.2  Answer all questions in lesson check for 1.1 and 1.2  (p. 5 questions 1-7, p. 11 questions 8-13) Be ready for a lab tomorrow

34 Chemistry Do-now  Make Three columns. Label them Predict, Observe, and Explain. You will fill these in during the course of the demo

35 Objectives  1.3a Describe how Lavoisier transformed chemistry.  1.3b Identify three steps in the scientific method.

36 1.3 Thinking like a scientist  Chemistry comes from a more ancient science known as alchemy  Alchemy was devoted to certain pursuits that we now know are impossible, such as trying to turn lead into gold.  Equipment developed that we still use today- crucible, tongs, mortar & pestle, etc.

37 Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier  In the late 1700’s this French scientist started the shift from alchemy to chemistry  Based on observation  Lavoisier developed instruments to measure matter very precisely

38 The Scientific Method  A logical, systematic approach to the solution of a scientific problem  Many approaches are possible, but they all contain the same basic steps.

39 Step 1: Make Observations  When you use your senses to obtain information, you make an observation.  Not just sight! Observing: Where’s Waldo?

40 Step 2: Test Hypothesis  A hypothesis is a proposed answer to a question  An educated guess

41 Step 2: Test Hypothesis  Experiment: Procedure used to test a hypothesis  2 Variables  Independent Variable: Variable that is changed  Dependent Variable: Variable that is observed  Sometimes an experiment cannot be tested conventionally in a lab  Models are used instead

42 Step 3: Making Theories and Laws  Scientific Theory: well tested explanation for a broad set of observations  Scientific Law: Concise statement that summarizes the results of many observations and experiments

43 What are some Scientific theories and Laws?  Global Warming, Evolution, Atomic theory of matter, Continents  Gravity, motion

44 Homework  Study for Ch. 1 Test tomorrow! (There will be a review)

45 Chemistry Do-Now  Solve the crossword puzzle.  Describe the process you use to solve a crossword puzzle on the back of the sheet in one sentence
