Study Notes
- Chemistry is the scientific study of matter and its properties, behaviors, and transformations, focusing on atoms, molecules, and compounds.
- It is an interdisciplinary science, providing a foundation for various fields like biology, physics, and environmental sciences.
- Alchemy, the precursor to chemistry, originated in Egypt, where it was called Kemet or χημεία. The modern term "chemistry" stems from the Arabic word al-kīmīā.
- The quantum mechanical model is the current atomic structure model in chemistry.
- Chemical reactions occur due to the rearrangement of electrons in chemical bonds, and are often studied in the context of different substances and their interactions.
- A chemical reaction results in the transformation of one or more substances into different substances, with equal number of atoms on both sides.
- Casein, a protein in milk, is the most predominant protein in milk and is a mixed phosphoprotein. It has an isoelectric pH of about 4.7 and readily dissolves in dilute acids and alkalies.
- Natural milk is composed of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, fats, and water, and is a complete balanced diet. Milk can turn sour due to bacteria converting lactose into lactic acid.
- The quantity of casein in different milk samples, including goat milk, cow milk, buffalo milk, and market samples, can be determined through chemical analysis.
- Cow milk contains more casein protein than goat and buffalo milk, potentially due to the latter having a higher fat content.
- Milk samples may exhibit differences, with market milk potentially being adulterated with water.
