RESEARCH WITH CHEMISTRY 8 The Studie Group FIRST QUARTER | MODULE Introduction To Chemistry- Head Writer: Maxine Abrenica (8-Leeuwen) Writer(s): Adriel Shawn S. Flores (8-Leeuwen) Jhun Arwin S. Madrilejos (8-Watson) What is Chemistry? - deals with the study of matter - properties, composition, and the changes it undergoes Seven Branches of Chemistry: 1. Analytical Chemistry - involves identifying and analyzing the chemical components of samples - 2 types: Qualitative and Quantitative 2. Biochemistry - study of chemical processes in living organisms 3. Organic Chemistry - deals with the study of compounds that contain carbon which are covalently-bonded with hydrogen - Ex: Hydrocarbons 4. Inorganic Chemistry - analysis of substances without a carbon-hydrogen bond 5. Physical Chemistry - uses notions of physics as it deals with the mechanism, rate, and energy transfer that matter undergoes during a chemical reaction 6. Environmental Chemistry - deals with the chemical reactions that happen in natural places such as in the atmosphere, bodies of land, and bodies of water. 7. Nuclear Chemistry - deals with radioactivity, nuclear processes, and transformations in the nuclei of atoms, such as nuclear transmutation Chemists and Their Contributions Filipino Chemists 1.

Lise Meitner - primary discoverer of nuclear fission Laboratory Apparatus - set of materials or equipment designed for a particular use - can be grouped into: - glasswares and porcelains - metal equipment and accessories Two types of glassware are used in the laboratory: 1. Soft glass/Soda-lime glass - 10% sodium; 5% calcium; 1% aluminum - remainder percentages are silicon and oxygen - Tip: 10, 5, 1 = NaCaAl 2. Hard glass/Pyrex glass - boro-alumino silicate glass - 4% alkali and alkaline earth metal ions - does not expand as much as soft glass therefore it doesn't break easily Laboratory Glassware: Volumetric Glassware: - apparatuses used to measure the volume of a substance in an accurate and precise manner - subdivided into 2 types:  - to contain a specified amount of liquid (marked as TC or In) - to deliver a specified amount of liquid (marked as TD or Ex) 1. Volumetric Flask - thin-walled, flat-bottom glass flask - long narrow neck - used to measure a precise volume of a liquid and preparing a desired concentration of solution 2. Capillary Pipette - designed to measure and deliver a precise and accurate volume of liquid though it is calibrated to contain liquids 3. Burette - a long graduated tube used in volumetric titration process 4. Graduated Pipette - long graduated glass tube used for accurate measurements of volume when fixed volumes are transferred directly from reagent bottles 5. Bulb Pipette - a bulb-shaped material used to draw/deliver liquids into a pipe Non-Volumetric Glassware: - apparatuses that are not designed to give a precise measurement of volume - instruments used for: - mixing - stirring - titration - etc. 1.
