Study Notes
Biological Processes
- Phagocytosis: Also known as "cell eating," a method for cells to engulf large particles and microorganisms.
- Pinocytosis: Referred to as "cell drinking," involves the ingestion of liquid into cells.
Chemical Cleanup and Reactions
- Hg spill cleanup: Use sulfur powder to effectively clean up mercury spills.
- Copper: Essential for the release and storage of iron in biological systems.
Scientific Principles and Techniques
- Tyndall effect: Phenomenon of light scattering observed in colloidal solutions.
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR): A technique used to determine the conformation of organic molecules.
- Mass spectrophotometry: Instrument used to ascertain the mass of organic molecules.
- Polarimetry: Measures the optical rotation of chiral molecules.
Concentration Measurements
- Molality: Defined as grams of solute per kilogram of solvent.
- Molarity: Grams of solute per liter of solution.
- Normality: Grams equivalent of solute per liter of solution.
- Formality: Grams formula of solute per liter of solution.
Laboratory Apparatus
- Cassia flask: Utilized for assaying aldehyde, ketone, and phenolic volatile oils.
- Acetylation flask: Designed for assaying alcohol volatile oils.
Chemical Properties
- Sulfanilamide: Known for its antimicrobial activity in Protonsil, aided by its red dye.
- Hygroscopic substances: Materials that absorb moisture without dissolving.
- Deliquescent compounds: Substances that absorb moisture from the air and dissolve.
Transport Mechanisms
- Passive transport: Energy-free process; substances move from high to low concentration.
- Facilitated diffusion: Carrier-mediated and saturable passive transport.
- Active transport: Requires ATP, moving substances from low to high concentration, also carrier-mediated and saturable.
Material Classification
- Allotropic: Elements that exist in different crystalline forms.
- Polymorphic: Compounds existing in different crystalline forms.
- Amorphous materials: Lack a defined crystal structure.
Thermodynamic Concepts
- Enthalpy: Represents the total heat content of a system.
- Entropy: Measures the degree of molecular randomness in a system.
Phase Changes
- Heat of Fusion: Energy required to convert one gram of solid to liquid at constant temperature.
- Latent heat: Heat absorbed or released during a phase change without a temperature change.
Significant Chemical Compounds
- Quartz: Known as silicon dioxide.
- Magnesia: Refers to magnesium oxide.
- Carbonic acid gas: Commonly identified as carbon dioxide.
Colorimetric Tests
- Turnbull’s blue: Represents ferrous ferricyanide.
- Prussian blue: Signifies ferric ferrocyanide.
- Barium sulfate: Used as a radiopaque contrast medium.
Biological Absorption and Excretion
- Small intestines: Primary site for drug absorption.
- Liver: Main organ for drug metabolism.
- Kidney: Responsible for drug excretion.
Acid-Base Properties
- Acids: Sour taste, change blue litmus to red.
- Bases: Bitter taste, change red litmus to blue.
Electron Configuration Rules
- Pauli Exclusion Principle: No two electrons in an atom can share the same four quantum numbers.
- Hund’s Rule: Electrons fill orbitals singly before pairing up.
Periodic Table Historical Contributions
- Antoine Lavosier: Established the law of conservation of mass.
- Dmitri Mendeleev: Developed the periodic table according to atomic weight.
- Henry Moseley: Revamped the periodic table based on atomic number.
Radioactive Isotopes and Their Uses
- Cr-51: Used to measure RBC volume and glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
- Ra-226: Employed in cancer therapy.
Acid-Base Theories
- Arrhenius theory: Defines acids as H⁺ donors and bases as OH⁻ donors.
- Bronsted-Lowry theory: An acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor.
Buffer Systems
- Borate Buffer System: Used in ophthalmic and nasal preparations.
Unique Elements
- Astatine (At): Noted as the rarest element.
- Hydrogen (H): Most abundant element in the universe.
Functional Isomers and Chirality
- Functional isomers: Compounds with the same molecular formula but different linkages.
- Chiral vs. Achiral: Chiral compounds are non-superimposable mirror images, while achiral compounds are superimposable.
Medicine and Pharmacology
- Streptomycin: The first aminoglycoside used in chemotherapy.
- Dextromorphan: An antitussive agent used as a codeine alternative.
