CHEMISTRY 

Chapter 1: Introduction to Chemistry

1.1 Chemistry

Definition: Chemistry is the study of the ________________ and the ______________________ and the changes it undergoes.

 There are 3 main branches of Chemistry:

a. Inorganic Chemistry – specializes in substances without carbon

b. Physical Chemistry – specializes in description and behaviour of 

chemical substances

c. Biochemistry – specializes in composition of living organism

1.2 Chemical in Daily Life and Its Importance

Chemical is everywhere around us. All matter is chemicals.

Some chemical are synthetic while some are natural.

Chemicals can be found in food, medicine, vitamin, glue, clothing, paint,

household cleaning products and everything around us.

Chemicals are used in almost every aspect of our lives. Examples:-

a. Sodium chloride is used as salt

b. Acetic acid is used as food preservatives

c. Barium sulphate is used in paints

d. Ammonia is used to make fertilizer and explosive

e. Magnesium hydroxide is used in toothpaste to neutralize acid

1.3 Scientific Method

Scientific method is a systematic method used to solve problems in

science.

Making Observation

Gathering information about a phenomenon using our sensesEg: Hot water turns colder when it is left at room temperature  

Making an inferenceMaking a tentative explanation about a phenomenon based onoebservation

Eg: The hot water turns colder because its temperature changes  

Identifying the Problem

Asking a question based on the inference madeEg: How does the temperature of the hot water change when the hot water is left?

Making hypothesisMake a general statement about the relationship between amanipulated variable

and a responding variable to explain the questions askedEg: The longer the hot water is left at room temperature, the lower isthe temperature

Identifying VariablesManipulated Variable - variable that is changed in anexperimentResponding Variable - variable that respond / changes with theexperimentControlled Variable - variable that is kept constant throughout theexperiment

Eg:Manipulated Variable - Time taken to cool down thewater   

Responding Variable - Temperature of water   

Controlled Variable - Pressure

Controlling VariablesDecide how to manipulate the chosen variables, what to be measuredand

how to keep the controlled variables constantEg: The temperature of water is measured at intervals of 1 minute for a

 period of 

5 minutes and also measured at atmospheric pressure.  

Planning Experiment

Determine the list of material and apparatus, procedure of experiment,method of collecting data, ways to analyse and interpret the datacollected

Eg:

Material: Hot water

Apparatus: Thermometer , stopwatch, beaker

Procedure: 1)A beaker is filled up with hot water2) The initial temperature of water is recorded andstopwatch is

started

 3) The temperature of water is measured atatmospheric pressure

Results:

Interpreting DataOrganise and analyse thedata recordedCan be interpretated in graphs, charts orcalculations

Making ConclusionMaking a statement about the outcome of the experiment and whetherthehypothesis is accepted orrejected.Eg: The temperature of hot water decrease with time. Hypothesis isaccepted
