4 Contents International University of Sarajevo 1. Chemistry in our lives 2. Chemistry and Chemicals 3. Scientific Method Next week: Chemistry and measurement Matter and Energy

5 Chemistry of our lives  Chemistry is the study of properties of substances and how they react with one another.  It is an experimental science based of the scientific method!  Hunderds of materials that we use EVERY DAY, directly and indirectly, are the products of chemical reseacrh.  For example: Plastics, Computer Chips, paper, fuels, cement, ceramics, sollar cells, Cosmetics and so on.........  WE NEED CHEMISTRY TO UNDERSTAND OUR ENVIRONMENT!! International University of Sarajevo Why we study Chemistry ?:

6 Important chemistry processess in our life !  Digestion..  Cooking..  When you write with ink on paper..!  Steel is 94% iron and 6% carbon. The carbon forms complex bonds making steel so strong that you can bend an iron crowbar, but not a steel one.  ANYTHING that burns is undergoing a chemical reaction and almost always creates some form of carbon as waste.

7 Figure1. Chemistry in every day life

8 Forensic scientist…

9 Hemoglobin Hemoglobin transports oxygen to the tissues and carbon dioxide to the lungs.

10 Chemistry  Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter.  Matter is another word for all the substances that make up our world.

11  Chemistry is not done only in lab…  Actually, chemistry happens all around you every day and has an impact on everything you use and do.  You are doing chemistry when you cook food, add bleach to your laundry, or start your car.

12 Antacid tablets undergo a chemical  A chemical reaction has taken place when silver tarnishes or an antacid tablet fizzes when dropped into water

13 Chemicals  A chemical is a substance that always has the same composition and properties wherever it is found.  All the things you see around you are composed of one or more chemicals.

14 Scientific method…

15 Scientific method  Help to explain how scientists think….

16 Approach …  1.Observations- look around you and ask yourself question !!  2. Hypothesis. Propose a hypothesis, which states a possible explanation of the observations.  The hypothesis must be stated in such a way that it can be tested by experiments.  3. Experiments.  4. Conclusion. When the results of the experiments are analyzed, a conclusion is made as to whether the hypothesis is true or false.

17 Scientific method cont…  If we gather enough data about our subject we will be able to form a HYPOTHESIS.  Hypothesis is a proposed explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation!  To test the hypothesis we perform EXPERIMENTS.If the experiments support the hypothesis we will perform another experiments(under various conditions) to verify our statement.  After many confirmed experiments( the results are reproducible) we can CONCLUDE and state a LAW or Scientific law.  A law simply says what happens but doesn't explain it (why this happens).

18 Scientific method cont….  Once a Law has been formulated, scientist try to develop a THEORY (unifying principle) that explains the law based on experimental methods( why nature behaved as it does ).  The theory can develop by time because new facts may arise. Scientific method

19  See you next Monday …
