Some burning questions
• If we’re 99% homologous with them, why are we so different from chimps?
![Page 19: General Chemistry 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568140be550346895dac8275/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Also…
• We live in a chemically-dependent world
• Critical thinking involved in science is useful to learn in life
![Page 20: General Chemistry 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568140be550346895dac8275/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Some useful developments
• Sucralose, marketed as Splenda• Teflon
![Page 21: General Chemistry 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568140be550346895dac8275/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Chemistry as a science
• The scientific method
![Page 22: General Chemistry 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568140be550346895dac8275/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Don’t try this at home…
• Tate & Lyle, a British sugar company and Queen’s College
• Adding laboratory chemicals to sucrose (table sugar)
• Shashikant Phadnis, a research assitant, was asked to test a chemical
• He misheard it as taste!
![Page 23: General Chemistry 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568140be550346895dac8275/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
He tasted it???
• It tasted sweet• the discovery of sucralose
(Splenda)
![Page 24: General Chemistry 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568140be550346895dac8275/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The scientific method
• Observation• The substance tasted very sweet.
• Statement of the problem• Why was it sweet? Is it safe for human
consumption?
• Hypothesis• Because of its particular structure, it
reacts with taste receptors in the tongue similar to sucrose
![Page 25: General Chemistry 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568140be550346895dac8275/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The scientific method
• Experimentation• Characterization of the molecule, toxicity tests
• Observations and analysis
• Conclusions• Similar structure, not particularly toxic
• Application – artificial sweetener
sucralose Table sugar
![Page 26: General Chemistry 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568140be550346895dac8275/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Chemistry as a science
• Science depends on observable, and measurable phenomena
• Accurate and honest data collection is paramount
![Page 27: General Chemistry 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568140be550346895dac8275/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Teflon
• In 1938, Roy J. Plunkett, a researcher at DuPont makes a curious observation: A tank of the gaseous compound tetrafluoroethylene, CF2=CF2, that was supposed to be full had no gas in it.
• He found that the inside of the tank was coated with a white waxy substance that was remarkably unreactive toward even the most corrosive chemical reagents.

Scientific method
• Observation• Statement of the Problem• Hypothesis• Experiment• Observations and Analysis• Drawing Conclusions• Finding Applications

Applications
• Cooking materials, space vessels
• Uranium hexafluoride is corrosive
• Science is merely a tool
![Page 30: General Chemistry 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568140be550346895dac8275/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What then is chemistry?
• Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties and changes of matter
• Matter• Anything that has mass
and occupies space
