Study Notes

General Chemistry - Lesson 1 - Fuels

  • Fuels are substances that can be combusted to produce heat or work.
  • Fuels are considered valuable if they ignite easily at low temperatures.
  • Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer.
  • Good fuels have high calorific values, low moisture content, moderate ignition temperatures, produce minimal harmful byproducts (like CO2, SO2, H2S), low non-combustible ash content, and controllable combustion velocity.
  • Fuels can be broadly classified as solid, liquid, and gaseous, or natural and manufactured.

General Chemistry - Lesson 2 - Crystal Structures

  • Crystalline solids have rigid, long-range order, with atoms, molecules, or ions occupying specific positions.
  • Amorphous solids lack a well-defined, long-range order.
  • Crystalline structures are characterized by a coordination number (for metals) and an atomic packing factor.
  • The basic repeating unit of a crystalline solid is a unit cell.

General Chemistry - Lesson 3 - Metals

  • Ores are mineral deposits concentrated enough for economical metal recovery.
  • Metal extraction involves ore preparation (separation of mineral from waste), metal production (chemical reactions at high temperatures).
  • 3 principle steps in the recovery of a metal from its ore are preparation, reduction and purification.
  • Key methods are flotation and ferromagnetism.
  • The most abundant metals in the Earth's crust are aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, and sodium.

General Chemistry - Lesson 4 - Polymeric Materials

  • Polymers are created from combinations of monomers. Some monomers include Teflon or polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and vinyl chloride.
  • Homopolymers contain only one type of monomer.
  • Copolymers contain two or more different monomer types. Example structures involve random, alternating, or block types.
  • Polymer structure can be linear, branched or crosslinked.
  • Common polymeric materials include polyethylene (LDPE, HDPE), polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate.
  • Factors to consider regarding polymers include molecular weight, degree of polymerization, and their effect on the properties

General Chemistry - Lesson 5 - Engineered Nanomaterials

  • Nanomaterials have properties that are dependent on size, shape, and composition.
  • Types of nanomaterials include metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites.
  • Nanomaterials are increasingly important due to their unique properties.

General Chemistry - Lesson 6 - The Chemistry of the Atmosphere

  • The atmosphere protects Earth from harsh conditions in outer space, primarily comprised of oxygen and nitrogen, and other trace gases.
  • Air pollutants are substances present at concentrations greater than natural levels, often detrimental.
  • Polluted air can impact human activities and ecosystems.

General Chemistry - Lesson 7 - Water Chemistry and Properties

  • Water is essential for life.
  • Water can form hydrogen bonds.
  • Important water properties include being a good solvent, having a high heat capacity, and a high heat of vaporization.
  • Factors affecting water quality include dissolved oxygen levels, temperature, and pressure.
  • Water can be chemically treated to remove impurities.
  • Specific types of water pollution sources include domestic, industrial, and agricultural runoffs, as well as various other forms of pollutants.

General Chemistry - Lesson 8 - The Soil Chemistry

  • Soil solution is the aqueous portion containing dissolved matter.
  • Soil contains various organic and inorganic components.
  • Types of organic constituents include humus, fats, resins, waxes, saccharides and others.
  • Macronutrients and micronutrients within soil are essential for plant growth.
  • Important soil chemistry processes include weathering, exchange capacity, and sorption.
  • Fertilizers like manure, ammonium nitrate, and others, improve soil.
  • Soil may contain metals, including zinc, and heavy metals.
