Chemistry: Frequently Asked Questions

Why chemistry?

We like to think of chemistry as the "central science" as a knowledge of molecular structures and properties is crucial in our understanding a large parts of science, from semiconductors to proteins and from the composition of interstellar clouds to the human genome. By studying chemistry you will acquire a wide range of skills and learn about ideas and concepts which address all the important questions in modern science. ...

What is Chemistry?

Chemistry is concerned with the properties, composition and structure of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. These changes are seen as chemical reactions. Matter is the physical material of the universe. Chemistry is both a practical and a theoretical science since solutions to theoretical questions often lead to far reaching practical consequences
Chemistry is the study of interactions and changes. For example, if you have gelatin and you want to make jell-o, you pour the hot water into the jell-o and it dissolves - that's a reaction. Then, you let it cool, it sets up, and it goes from being a liquid to something that's solid - that's another reaction, a change or transformation. In chemistry, you're looking at those reactions at the fundamental level to see what made them happen.

Is chemistry provided?

Only for the color processor. Members must supply their own chemistry for black and white film development and printing.

Is general chemistry the same as inorganic chemistry?

For most schools, general chemistry is considered to be the same as inorganic chemistry. If you are unsure, contact your educational institution for a formal course description. We will be happy to assist you in determining if a class meets the inorganic chemistry criteria based on that description.

Does the Honors Chemistry or Regular Chemistry prepare me for the AP Chemistry exam?

Absolutely not. The Honors and the Regular course are high school chemistry classes and the AP chemistry class is equivalent to the first year college chemistry class .

What exactly is Chemistry 17?

Chemistry 17 is a preparation course that allows students to receive a basic background in Chemistry before they start either the 14 or the 20 series. It is designed for students who have either never taken Chemistry before or have not taken it for many years. It is taken P/NP and will not give students units toward GE, major, or graduation. It will, however, count toward units for full-time status. If a student does not pass this course, it will not restrict them from moving forward to the 14 or 20 series.

What majors require chemistry?

Most science and health related majors require one or more semesters of chemistry. Examples include pre-med, biology, physics, engineering, nursing, environmental studies, geology, and computer science. Students are encouraged to consult with their counselor and transfer university/college for specific advising and requirements.

What is the Chemistry Panel test?

What is the battery chemistry?

The Tesla Roadster uses Li-ion cells - the same kind of batteries used in most consumer-electronics devices, such as laptops, cell phones, and camcorders. Only a few more of them.

What is the chemistry of Teflon®?

The original form of Teflon® is polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE. The molecular structure of Teflon® is based on a chain of carbon atoms, the same as all polymers. Unlike some other fluoropolymers, in Teflon® this chain is completely surrounded by fluorine atoms. The bond between carbon and fluorine is very strong, and the fluorine atoms shield the vulnerable carbon chain. This unusual structure gives Teflon® its unique properties. In addition to its extreme slipperiness, it is inert to almost every known chemical. ...

How large is the chemistry department?

We have nine full-time, Ph.D. chemists plus a half-time laboratory coordinator, and there are currently about 35 chemistry majors in the program.

What is the chemistry of Chartwell products?

All products are proprietary metal organic solutions supplied in water or various glycols. The metals used are not any of the CONEG toxic or carcinogenic metals. 2.

How big is the Chemistry program?

The program is small in numbers but not in course offerings. We typically graduate two to five chemistry majors a year, a number which allows for small class sizes and student-faculty mentoring opportunities. Compared to our student body at Huntington, the chemistry major percentage is about average for liberal arts colleges. The interests of our current chemistry majors include the health professions, graduate work for research careers, industrial careers, and teaching.

Why learn surface chemistry?

Surface chemistry is an established technology in many industry sectors and the awareness of its importance is growing. Surface chemical phenomena are of importance in many industrial processes and products. Examples of processes are paper making, cleaning and lubrication. Examples of products are cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, paints, etc.

How does "No Chemistry" work?

Again read the "Turi Report". It is a repeatable process based on accepted science. For years workers have noticed that an emulsion of organic soil was formed on parts when they were bombarded with ultra-sonic pressure waves in batch cleaning tanks. Flo-Matic discovered how to provide those pressure waves in a continuous process, and how to rinse off the water-soil emulsion. This is not labratory equipment, this is continuous process equipment for use in on the factory floor.
