Questions and Answers

What is the primary role of chemistry in the engineering profession?

  • To develop ways to utilize the forces of nature for the benefit of mankind
  • To only focus on environmental engineering problems
  • To study the properties of materials
  • To be used as a tool to utilize the materials and forces of nature (correct)

    • Why is aluminum chosen as the material for carrying sodas?

  • Because it is readily available, light weight, and doesn't react badly with soda (correct)
  • Because it is expensive
  • Because it is a juice box

    Study Notes

    Engineering and Chemistry

    • Engineering is the profession that applies mathematical and natural sciences to develop ways to utilize materials and forces of nature for human benefit.
    • Chemistry plays a crucial role in engineering as a tool to utilize the forces of nature.

    Importance of Chemistry in Engineering

    • Chemistry helps engineers to optimize processes used in materials conversions.
    • Knowledge of chemistry is essential in environmental engineering problems.

    Aluminum and Its Properties

    • Aluminum is the chosen material for carrying sodas due to its ready availability, lightweight, and non-reactive nature with soda.
    • Aluminum's widespread availability is a result of collaboration between basic science of chemistry and applied sciences of engineering.

    Extraction of Aluminum

    • Aluminum is typically found in one of three minerals: gibbsite, bohmite, and diaspore in bauxite.
    • Extensive knowledge in materials is required to extract aluminum.

    Scientific Method

    • Scientific method involves observation of nature, hypothesis or model building, and further experiments to either bolster or refute the hypothesis.
    • Hypothesis is an educated guess at ways to explain nature.

    Role of Math in Chemistry

    • Chemistry involves a lot of math, guided by knowledge of the sizes and properties of atoms of different elements.
