- Usage, management, and handling of apparatus and materials
Chemicals in Daily Life
- Chemicals are present in food preservatives, coloring, flavoring, stabilizers, and other household items.
- Medications and medicines utilize chemicals.
- Agriculture chemicals like herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, and hormones.
- Industries use paints, polymers, glass, ceramics, detergents, colorings, and alloys.
Careers Related to Chemistry
- Careers in biotechnology, biomedical engineering, pharmaceuticals, medicine, and cosmetics require knowledge in chemistry.
- Nanotechnology engineering and green technology also depend on chemistry knowledge.
Scientific Investigation in Chemistry
- Scientific investigations use the scientific method to solve problems.
- The method involves observation, hypothesis development, testing, and reporting conclusions.
- A scientific method investigates a problem, tests a hypothesis, and analyzes data to determine the validity of the solution.
Scientific Method Steps
- Observation: Observing and recording occurrences in the experiment.
- Inference: Using data and past experience to make conclusions and explanations.
- Identifying the problem: Recognizing the issue or question to be addressed.
- Forming a hypothesis: Making an educated guess about the relationship between variables.
- Identifying the variables: Determining the manipulated, responding, and controlled variables in the experiment.
- Controlling the variables: Maintaining constant conditions for all variables except the one being tested.
- Planning the experiment: Designing steps to test the hypothesis.
- Collecting data: Methodically gathering and recording the experiment's observations.
- Interpreting data: Analyzing and organizing collected data using graphs, tables, and calculations.
- Making a conclusion: Determining the acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis based on data analysis.
- Preparing a report: Detailed communication and documentation of the results.
Importance of Chemical Storage and Disposal
- Chemicals in the lab are hazardous and need proper storage and disposal.
- Chemicals must be stored according to their categories and the hazards they present.
- Correct and safe disposal of chemicals prevents environmental pollution.
- Disposal should focus on safety and the environment.
Laboratory Safety
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Using safety goggles, facemask, gloves, and laboratory coats.
- Proper handling of chemicals: Labelling hazards and risks of chemical substances.
- Fire and emergency management: Proper management of fire and other emergencies in the lab.
- Waste disposal: Correct procedures for disposing all types of toxic materials, used apparatus, and waste products.
Experiment on Solubility
