Step-by-step solution for: 4.- Branches of chemistry online exercise for
Let's solve this step by step. The task is to match each Branch of Chemistry with its correct Area of Emphasis and corresponding Examples of Emphasis.
We are given:
- A list of branches (to be placed in the blank boxes)
- Descriptions of areas of emphasis
- Examples that help identify the correct branch
---
Here’s a quick overview of the branches listed:
1. Organic chemistry – Study of carbon-containing compounds (e.g., pharmaceuticals, plastics)
2. Inorganic chemistry – Study of matter that does not contain carbon (e.g., minerals, metals, semiconductors)
3. Physical chemistry – Focuses on behavior, changes of matter, energy changes (e.g., reaction rates, mechanisms)
4. Analytical chemistry – Determines composition and components of substances (e.g., food nutrients, quality control)
5. Biochemistry – Study of chemical processes in living organisms (e.g., metabolism, fermentation)
6. Environmental chemistry – Matter and environment interactions (e.g., pollution, biochemical cycles)
7. Industrial chemistry – Chemical processes in industry (e.g., paints, coatings)
8. Polymer chemistry – Polymers and plastics (e.g., textiles, coatings, plastics)
9. Theoretical chemistry – Uses models and theories to understand chemical interactions (e.g., many areas of emphasis)
10. Thermochemistry – Heat involved in chemical processes (e.g., heat of reaction)
---
Now let’s match each Area of Emphasis to the correct Branch using the Examples.
---
1. "most carbon-containing chemicals"
→ Organic chemistry
Example: pharmaceuticals, plastics ✔
2. "in general, matter that does not contain carbon"
→ Inorganic chemistry
Example: minerals, metals, nonmetals, semiconductors ✔
3. "the behavior and changes of matter and the related energy changes"
→ Physical chemistry
Example: reaction rates, reaction mechanisms ✔
4. "components and composition of substances"
→ Analytical chemistry
Example: food nutrients, quality control ✔
5. "matter and processes of living organisms"
→ Biochemistry
Example: metabolism, fermentation ✔
6. "matter and the environment"
→ Environmental chemistry
Example: pollution, biochemical cycles ✔
7. "chemical processes in industry"
→ Industrial chemistry
Example: paints, coating ✔
8. "polymers and plastics"
→ Polymer chemistry
Example: textiles, coatings, plastics ✔
9. "chemical interactions"
→ Theoretical chemistry
Example: many areas of emphasis ✔
10. "heat involved in chemical processes"
→ Thermochemistry
Example: heat of reaction ✔
