    Study Notes

    Introduction to Chemistry

    • Chemistry studies matter, including its properties, composition, and changes.

    Seven Branches of Chemistry

    • Analytical Chemistry: Focuses on the identification and analysis of chemical components; includes qualitative and quantitative methods.
    • Biochemistry: Examines chemical processes in living organisms.
    • Organic Chemistry: Studies carbon-containing compounds, primarily those covalently bonded with hydrogen, like hydrocarbons.
    • Inorganic Chemistry: Analyzes substances that lack carbon-hydrogen bonds.
    • Physical Chemistry: Combines principles of physics and chemistry to understand mechanisms, reaction rates, and energy transfers in chemical reactions.
    • Environmental Chemistry: Investigates chemical reactions in natural settings such as the atmosphere and bodies of water.
    • Nuclear Chemistry: Deals with radioactivity and nuclear transformations.

    Filipino Chemists and Contributions

    • Julian Banzon: Researched alternative fuels from sugarcane and coconut.
    • Alfredo Santos: Studied properties of Philippine medicinal plants.
    • Jose O. Juliano: Renowned for work in nuclear chemistry and physics.
    • William Padolina: Advocated for developments in natural chemistry and biotechnology; received Young Scientist Award in 1982.

      • Erlenmeyer Flask: Cone-shaped glass for holding and mixing chemicals.
      • Vials: Small glass containers for storing substances.
      • Test Tubes: Used for mixing and simple chemical tests.
      • Florence Flask: Reaction vessel with a rounded body and long neck.
      • Distilling Flask: Used to separate liquid mixtures by boiling point.
      • Watch Glass: Covers beakers for contamination prevention.
      • Reagent Bottles: For storing chemical reagents.
      • Medicine Dropper: Measures liquids by drops.
      • Petri Dish: Cultures microorganisms.
      • Separatory Funnel: Separates immiscible liquids.
      • Funnel: Aids in pouring liquids into other containers.
      • Stirring Rod: Used for stirring solutions.
      • Condenser: Cools vapors back to liquid during distillation.

    Porcelain Equipment

    • Alcohol Lamp: Generates heat using denatured alcohol.
    • Bunsen Burner: Provides heat via gas or fuel.
    • Tripod: Supports laboratory apparatus.
    • Clay Triangle: Supports crucibles needing direct heat.
    • Wire Gauze: Protects beakers from direct flame.
    • Aspirator: Cleans balance pans and moves liquids into pipettes.
    • Test Tube Brush: Cleans narrow laboratory glassware.
    • Test Tube Holder: Holds test tubes securely.

    Laboratory Safety

    • Always prioritize safety procedures when using equipment and handling chemicals.
