Chemistry for Engineering Module 1 (Part 1) Flashcards
It deals with the study of matter
Chemistry
What specifically does Chemistry study about matter? (4)
Properties of Matter
Composition and Structure of matter
Changes it undergoes
Energy involved in any transformation of matter
What are the branches of chemistry? (6)
Organic Chemistry
Inorganic Chemistry
Analytical Chemistry
Physical Chemistry
Biochemistry
Industrial Chemistry
The branch of chemistry that involves the study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic material
Organic Chemistry
The branch of chemistry that is known as the “Science Of Carbon”
Organic Chemistry
The branch of chemistry that studies all other compounds except for carbon
Inorganic Chemistry
The branch of Chemistry that is concerned with the detection or identification of substance present in a sample.
Analytical Chemistry
The branch of Chemistry that applies mathematical theories and methods of physics to the properties of matter and to the study of chemical processes and methods of physics.
Physical Chemistry
The branch of chemistry that studies the Chemistry of processes in living organisms
Biochemistry
The branch of Chemistry that deals with the study of chemical processes applied in the industrial manufacture of substances.
Industrial Chemistry
What are the important uses of chemistry (3)
Industry depends on Chemistry
Many professions and Occupations need some knowledge of Chemistry
The application of theories in chemistry produces new and better materials.
Why do Industries depend on Chemistry? (3)
Because Chemistry is used for
- Industrial Materials
- Farmers use fertilizers and insecticides
- Chemical Laboratories
Give at least 5 Industrial Materials that depend on Chemistry:
Paints
Iron or Steel
Gasoline
Plastics
Glass
Give at least 5 professions/occupations that need some knowledge of Chemistry
Farmers
Mothers
Salesman
Medical Experts
Engineers/Architects
Give at least 5 application of theories in Chemistry that produces new and better materials
Housewives use paper bags/plastic bags
The use of Lighter
Juices packed in non-breakable plastic containers
Effective Medicines
Biodegradable Pesticides
We define this as anything that has mass and takes up spaces.
Matter
What are the Four States of Matter?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Plasma
What is the shape and volume of a Solid?
Both Definite
What is the shape and volume of a liquid?
Not Definite, Definite
What is the shape and volume of Gas?
Both are Not Definite
A property of matter that can be observed without changing the composition of the substance.
Physical Property
What are the 2 properties of matter?
Physical Property
Chemical Property
What are the 2 types of Physical Property?
Intensive Property
Extensive Property
A Physical property of matter that depends only on the type of matter in a sample and not on the amount.
Intensive Property
