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.
Maria Cristina Padolina: Focused on metal recovery from mine-water.
Clara Lim-Sylianco: Recognized for contributions in biochemistry and organic chemistry; labeled as a Nationalist Scientist.
Carlito Barril: Researched toxicology, water quality, and environmental pollution.
Benjamin Almeda Sr.: Inventor in food processing machines, known as “Father of Filipino Inventors.”
Amando Kapauan: Studied mercury levels in fish from the Philippines.
Gen. Florencio A. Medina: “Father of Philippine Atomic Energy,” researched nuclear science.
Anacleto Del Rosario: Known for producing alcohol from rice palm.

Foreign Chemists and Their Contributions

Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier: Known as the Father of Modern Chemistry; proposed the Oxygen Theory and Law of Conservation of Mass.
John Dalton: Developed the atomic theory.
Hard Glass/Pyrex Glass: A boro-alumino silicate glass resistant to breaking.

Laboratory Glassware

Volumetric Glassware: Used for precise volume measurement. Categories include TC (to contain) and TD (to deliver).
- Volumetric Flask: Flat-bottom with a long neck for measuring volumes and preparing solutions.
- Capillary Pipette: For precise liquid measurement.
- Burette: Graduated tube for titrations.
- Graduated Pipette: Measures fixed volumes directly.
- Bulb Pipette: For liquid delivery and measuring.
Non-Volumetric Glassware: Not designed for precise volume measurement; includes:
- Beaker: Mixing and heating liquids in a wide-mouthed cylindrical vessel.
- 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.
