  • 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)
  • Disaccharides
    Double sugars (C12H22O11) Maltose (malt sugar) Lactose (milk sugar) Sucrose (table sugar) Glucose + Fructose
  • Polysaccharides
    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
    1. Change of Color 2. Formation of gas 3. Temperature change 4. Change in smell 5. Formation of precipitate
