Gas Pressure is described as a force acting on a specific area.
Pressure (P) = Force/Area
Volume
Is the three-dimensional space occupied by a gas.
Temperature
measure of the warmth or coldness of a body
measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
Quantity
measured in moles (mol)
• 1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 units of a substance
Who created Boyle's law
Robert Boyle (1627-1691)
Boyle's Law
pressure is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to the volume at constant temperature. • When volume increases, pressure decreases. When volume decreases, pressure increases.
Application of Boyle's Law
Action of Syringe
Bringing a bags of chips
Who created Charles Law?
Jacques Charles (1746-1823)
Biomolecules
any molecules that are produced by a living organism, including large macromolecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Carbohydrates
most common biomolecule primary energy source of our body
Formula: (CH2O), where n is the number of molecules
Carbohydrates
monosaccharides
C-H-O Classifications:
1. Monosaccharides
2. Disaccharides
3. Polysaccharides
Monosaccharides
Simple sugars (C6H12O6) Glucose in blood
Glucose (blood sugar)
Fructose (fruit sugar)
Galactose (found in milk with glucose)
Complex sugars (C6H10O5)n where n is the number of carbon atoms 1. Starch
2. Glycogen
3. Cellulose
4. Chitin
Starch
Used for energy storage in plants They provide a quick form of energy for the body
Glycogen
Used for energy storage in animals When the body doesn't need glucose for energy, it stores it in the liver and muscles in the form of glycogen.
Cellulose
Found in plants, in cell walls and bark of trees Gives us fiber
Chitin
Forms the exoskeleton of certain insects and crustaceans
TESTS for CARBOHYDRATES
Iodine Test for Starch Benedict's Test
Iodine Test
test used to determine the presence of starch in materials A positive result for the iodine test: color change ranging from violet to black; a negative result: yellow color (no change) of the iodine solution.
Benedict's Test
test used for simple carbohydrates.
Protein
Body-building molecules which help us grow Transport molecules in and out of the cell
Control the speed of chemical reactions
Used for growth and repair
Building blocks: amino acids
Protein
General formula: RCH(NH2)COOH. R is a side chain, usually an amino acid • Elements: C-H-O-N
albumin
hemoglobin
Test for Protein
Biuret Test
Biuret Test
a chemical test used to determine the presence of a peptide bond (chemical bond between amino acids) in a substance.
Nucleic Acid
these biomolecules are not necessarily from food Building blocks: nucleotides
Elements: C-H-O-N-P
Lipids
Are also energy-giving molecules, but they are more commonly referred as the stored-energy molecules They store more energy than carbohydrates and proteins.
Building block: fatty acids
General formula: CH3(CH2)COOH
Lipids
Steroids, cholesterol, fats, oils, nuts, waxes They are hydrophobic and do not dissolve in water
Saturated
Unsaturated
Test for Lipids
Ethanol Emulsion Test
Ethanol Emulsion
Ethanol is added to the sample.
Chemical Reaction
is a process in which the properties of the original substance change into new substances with different physical and
Reactant
enter a chemical reaction
Product
produced in a chemical reaction
Law of Conservation of Mass
Matter is neither created nor destroyed. In any chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products.
Evidences
Change of Color 2. Formation of gas
3. Temperature change
4. Change in smell
5. Formation of precipitate
