FOR INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGISTS
“UNDERSTANDING CHEMISTRY’S ROLE IN INDUSTRY AND
INNOVATION”
PRESENTED BY: MARIMEL P. CAAGAY, LPT
WHAT IS CHEMISTRY?
• CHEMISTRY IS THE BRANCH
OF SCIENCE THAT STUDIES
MATTER, ITS COMPOSITION,
STRUCTURE, PROPERTIES,
AND THE CHANGES IT
UNDERGOES.
• IT EXPLAINS HOW
SUBSTANCES INTERACT,
COMBINE, AND TRANSFORM.
IMPORTANCE OF CHEMISTRY IN DAILY
LIFE AND INDUSTRY
• CHEMISTRY IS
ESSENTIAL FOR
UNDERSTANDING
NATURAL
PROCESSES AND
DEVELOPING NEW
TECHNOLOGIES.
• IT HELPS IN THE
PRODUCTION OF
MEDICINES, FOOD,
ENERGY, AND
MATERIALS WE USE
EVERY DAY.

MATTER AND ITS PROPERTIES
DEFINITION OF MATTER
- MATTER IS ANYTHING THAT HAS MASS AND OCCUPIES SPACE.
CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER
• SOLIDS – FIXED SHAPE AND
VOLUME (E.G., METALS, PLASTICS).
• LIQUIDS – FIXED VOLUME, NO
FIXED SHAPE (E.G., WATER, OILS).
• GASES – NO FIXED SHAPE OR
VOLUME (E.G., OXYGEN,
NITROGEN).
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER
⮚ CHARACTERISTICS THAT CAN BE
OBSERVED OR MEASURED WITHOUT
CHANGING THE SUBSTANCE.
PROPERTI ⮚ EXAMPLES: COLOR, DENSITY,
MELTING/BOILING POINT, SOLUBILITY.

INTERACT WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES.
⮚ EXAMPLES: FLAMMABILITY,
OXIDATION, REACTIVITY WITH ACIDS.
MEASUREMENT AND UNITS
IN CHEMISTRY
WHY ARE ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS IMPORTANT IN
INDUSTRY?
• ENSURES QUALITY CONTROL IN FOOD, MEDICINE, AND
MATERIAL PRODUCTION.
• MAINTAINS SAFETY STANDARDS IN MANUFACTURING AND
LABORATORIES.
SI UNITS USED IN
CHEMISTRY
MASS: LENGTH: VOLUME: TEMPERATUR
KILOGRAM (KG) METER (M) LITER (L) E: KELVIN (K)

ONE MOLE OF WATER = 18G = 6.022X1023
= 36G OF H20 = 2 MOLES
