    Study Notes

    Unit Conversions

    • 1 oz = 29.6 ml
    • 1 ft^3 = 28.32
    • 1 m^3 = 35.3 ft^3
    • 1 yd^2 = 0.836 m^2
    • 1 cm^2 = 0.155 in^2
    • 1 km^2 = 1.196 x 10^6 yd^2
    • 1 acre = 4840 yd^2 = 4046.556 m^2
    • 1 hectare (ha) = 2.471 acres = 10,000 m^2
    • 1 calorie (cal) = 4.184 joules (J)
    • 1 British Thermal Unit (BTU) = 252 cal = 1055 J
    • 1 Pascal (Pa) = 1 kg/m s^2
    • 1 kPa = 1000 Pa
    • 1 atmosphere (atm) = 760 torr = 760 mm Hg = 101,325 Pa = 14.7 in Hg

    Mass & Weight

    • Mass measures the amount of matter in an object or substance and is constant throughout the universe.
    • Weight measures the effect of the gravity (attraction from another body) on an object.
    • Weight is related to mass, but varies depending on the gravitational force exerted on the object.

    Density

    • Density (ρ) is the amount of mass per volume of a substance.
    • It can be used to identify different substances and is calculated as:
      • ρ = m/V
    • The density of water at 4°C is 1.0000 g/mL, 1.0000 g/cm^3, 1000.00 kg/m^3, or 62.4 lb/ft^3.
    • The specific gravity (sp gr) of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of water at 4°C.
    • It tells how many times heavier a substance is compared to water:
      • sp gr = density of sample / density of water
    • An object denser than water will sink, while a less dense object will float.

    Temperature

    • The Fahrenheit scale commonly used in the US defines water's freezing and boiling points as 32°F and 212°F, respectively.
    • The Celsius scale (often called Centigrade) defines water's freezing and boiling points as 0°C and 100°C, respectively.
    • The Kelvin scale is an absolute scale for measuring temperature.
      • Temperature conversions:
        • T°C = (5/9)(T°F - 32)
        • T°F = (9/5)T°C + 32
        • T°R = T°F + 460
        • TK = T°C + 273

    Chemical Safety

    • Chemical safety focuses on minimizing risks associated with handling chemicals and chemical processes.
    • It involves understanding the physical, chemical, and toxicological hazards of chemicals.
    • Chemical safety aims to protect human health and the environment from the hazards of chemicals.
    • Key aspects of chemical safety:
      • Identify the hazard: Identify the chemicals in the workplace and their associated hazards.
      • Assess the risk: Evaluate the risks posed by chemicals or processes in the workplace.

    Toxic Chemical Examples

    • Hydrogen cyanide gas: Passes through the skin and lungs, prevents oxygen delivery to the brain and heart, and blocks cell respiration.
    • Organic solvents: Often flammable and can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
      • Benzene: Can cause leukemia.
      • Carbon tetrachloride: Causes severe liver damage.
      • Carbon disulfide: Affects the brain and nervous system.

    Acids & Bases

    • Acids and bases are corrosive. The severity of damage depends on concentration and exposure duration.

    Strong Acids

    • Have a pH less than 4 and can cause chemical burns.
    • Some strong acids are hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, and phosphoric acids.
    • Weak acids (acetic, citric, carbonic) are not corrosive and can be consumed safely.

    Strong Bases

    • Have a pH greater than 10 and can cause chemical burns.
    • Some strong bases are calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide.
    • Weak bases like ammonia and sodium bicarbonate are less harmful.
