This book is about chemistry, one of the most important sciences studied by humanity. It consists of a series of essays, each considering one field of chemistry, or a key notion, or an important compound. A feature of this book is that each essay is accompanied by descriptions of simple experiments, which can easily be performed at home. Some of the principles by which experimental data are processed, are considered, and the reader will see how the properties of unstudied substances can be predicted. Far from all branches of chemistry are covered within this small book. Nevertheless, the book touches upon many fields of chemistry, such as inorganic, organic, physical, colloid, biological, analytical, and stereo-chemistry branches. The book will be of interest to senior pupils and chemistry teachers.
1. Chemistry: the Science of Molecular Transformations
2. The Rate of Chemical Transformations
3. About Catalysis
4. How Much Iron Is There in Tap Water?
5. Chemical Reactions and an Electric Current
6. Bust as Seen by a Chemist
7. A Substance on the Surface or the Chemistry of Laundering
8. Why Is the Sky Blue?
9. Chemistry and Light
10. Yellow Dye from Black Carbon
11. Perfume from Naphthalene
12. The “Black Box” of Chemical Transformations
13. Chemical Puzzles and Paradoxes
14. Plasticine Electron Clouds
15. Theoretical Predictions
16. Types of Polymers
17. Why Is Rubber Elastic?
18. Our Food
19. Vitamins and Chemistry
20. Experiments with Medicines
21. Why Are Poisons Toxic?
