Why do we cook food? Kill microbes Improve texture Improve taste Improve flavour Makes food easier to digest
What happens to protien during cooking? For example: egg change from colourless to white during cooking. This is because the protein in the egg permanently changed shape ( ), denatured an irreversible chemical change.
Cooking Potatoes List the differences between raw and cooked potatoes. Colour Texture cooked are softer Taste cooked are sweeter HEAT What has cooking done to the chemicals that potatoes are made of?
Cooking Potatoes Being plants are made of typical plant cells Which have cell walls made of a CELLULOSE.
Close up of cell walls Cooking Potatoes We cannot digest cellulose (also called fibre) What is it made from? Glucose
Cooking Potatoes What does cooking do to CELLULOSE? Cellulose is broken down into smaller molecules Which are easier to digest and make the potato taste sweeter
Why do we cook potatoes? Explain why potato is easier to digest if it is cooked: o cell walls rupture resulting in loss of rigid structure and a softer texture o starch grains swell up and spread out.
C1f Cooking Additives Baking Powder Objectives 1. Explain the use of baking powder in cooking.
Equations- These will be tested Word equation sodium hydrogencarbonate sodium carbonate carbon + + dioxide water Formula equation 2NaHCO 3 Na 2 CO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O
How do we test for carbon dioxide? To test for carbon dioxide we pass it through limewater. Limewater is colourless to start with If carbon dioxide is present it goes cloudy.
Additives Everything in food is made of chemicals. Some foods have chemicals added to them. These are known as ADDITIVES. There are four main types, each does a different job. What do they do?
Antioxidants I carried out an experiment to see what chemicals could stop an apple from browning. The results are shown below. The chemicals are called antioxidants. Lemon juice Candessence Triple C Vitamin C Nothing Some chemicals work better than others as antioxidants.
Additives Link the additive to its function. Antioxidants Keeps ingredients mixed together Colouring Stops food from reacting with oxygen and becoming rancid Emulsifiers Helps to improve the taste of food Flavours Makes food look better and appealing
Solutions- WHY? When two different liquids come together they mix and we form a solution. They are said to be miscible, an example of this would be Ribena and water.
Oil and Water Oil and water don t mix. We say they are immiscible. There is a definite layer between them Even when they are shaken they separate out again.
KEY WORDS Two liquids that DO NOT mix are called IMMISCIBLE A mixture made from 2 or more immiscible liquids is called an EMULSION.
Mixing oil and water with mustard Conclusion: Oil and water do not naturally mix. When we added the mustard powder we found out that they do. This is an example of how you make an emulsion. The mustard powder acts as an EMULSIFIER.
Making Mayonnaise In mayonnaise the egg yolk acts as the emulsifier.
How do emulsifiers work Hydrophilic- Hydrophobic- Water hating which attaches itself to the oil in the mixture. To help you remember: hydro= water and phobic=fear like phobia Water loving, this attaches itself to the water molecules in the mixture. The hydrophilic 'head' dissolves in the water and the hydrophobic 'tail' dissolves in the oil. In this way, the water and oil droplets become unable to separate out. The mixture formed is called an emulsion. Oil Water
Dissolving Some substances cannot dissolve and are insoluble. Other substances do dissolve - they mix completely with a liquid such as water to form a mixture. Dissolving is a physical change that can be reversed.
Seven S Words (keep it clean).. Soluble - substances that can dissolve are soluble. Solution - the mixture formed when a substance dissolves is called the solution. Solute - a solid that dissolves is called the solute.
Solvent Seven S Words.. - a liquid that can dissolve a substance is the solvent. Saturated - when no more solute will dissolve in the solvent, we have a saturated solution.
Sediment Seven S Words.. - at the bottom of a saturated solution there can be a layer of undissolved solute called the sediment. Solubility - the amount of solute that can dissolve in a litre of solvent.
Particles When a solute dissolves, its particles become completely mixed with the solvent particles. The mass of the solution is the same as the mass of the solute and solvent added together. This is because the solute particles are still present, even though we may no longer see the solute itself. For example, if 1g of table salt dissolves in 100g of water, the mass of the solution is: 1g + 100g = 101g.
Smell: What is an ester? Esters are chemicals with pleasant smells. They are used in perfumes, as solvents and flavourings
Making esters Esters occur naturally, but can be made in the laboratory by reacting an alcohol with an organic acid A little sulfuric acid is needed as a catalyst. word equation: alcohol + organic acid ester + water For example: methanol + butanoic methyl + water acid butanoate
Perfumes Perfumes have a pleasant smell they stimulate sense cells in the nose. Some perfumes are obtained from natural sources, such as lavender oil or sandalwood oil. Others are made synthetically (in the lab).
What properties do perfumes need to be successful?
Why are perfumes volatile? Volatile liquids evaporate easily. They readily change from a liquid to a gas. This is because there are only weak attractive forces between particles in the substance. These forces are overcome easily, so particles with enough energy can escape from the liquid.
An opinion on testing cosmetics on animals!! http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2006/mar/04/businessofresearch.rese arch
Why do cosmetics need to be tested? So that they do not cause harm to humans They must not cause rashes or itchiness They must not cause skin damage or lead to cancer or other lifethreatening conditions in long-term use Testing may take many years
What are the objections to cosmetics being tested on animals? Animals may be harmed. Animals have no control over what happens to them. Some people believe that there are other ways of testing products that are less damaging to living things.
What are the objections to cosmetics being tested on animals? Chemicals can have different effects on different species, e.g. bleach causes severe irritation to human skin, but only mild irritation to rabbit skin. Testing on animals can only let scientists predict what effects a product or ingredient will have on humans.
Some people support animal testing on cosmetics.what are their reasons? They feel safer if the cosmetics have been tested on animals. An animal s reaction to a chemical closely mimics the reaction in a human. If there is no danger to the animal then it is likely that the cosmetic or perfume will be safe for use by people.
Hydrocarbons Hydrogen Carbon A molecule containing only jjjjhydrogen and carbon
Alkanes Alkanes have the general formula: C n H 2n+2 Alkanes are SATURATED hydrocarbons. This means that they contain only single covalent bonds between carbon atoms. Each carbon has 4 bonds Each hydrogen one bond C 2 H 6 C 3 H 8

What is crude oil? Crude oil is a fossil fuel 1. Name two other fossil fuels; Coal and gas Fossil fuels are non renewable. 2. What is meant by non renewable? Something that takes along time to make and is used up faster than it is made. It will run out one day.
What do we use crude oil for? Petrol & diesel Fuel Plastics Drugs
Crude oil It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, all of which have different boiling points. Can you name any of them? = Hydrogen =Carbon
Explaining boiling point Covalent bonds Intermolecular forces Intermolecular forces In a liquid hydrocarbon there are two forces acting at the same time: 1. Covalent bonds (between atoms) 2. Intermolecular forces (between molecules) During boiling it is the intermolecular forces that are broken because these are weaker than the covalent bonds.
Which has the highest boiling point, long or short chain hydrocarbons? Intermolecular forces 6 Intermolecular forces to break to make it boil 2 Intermolecular forces to break to make it boil The longer chain hydrocarbon has the higher boiling point because the intermolecular forces are stronger between long chain hydrocarbons compared to short chain hydrocarbons.

Some Terms Polymers are materials made from very large molecules. Types of polymers include plastics, rubbers, and gels. When a plastic is stretched or pressed, the change is permanent. After a rubber is stretched, it can return to its original size and shape. This deformation is elastic. Plastic cup Rubber balloons
What is a polymer? Polymer has a Greek origin: poly = many mer = parts mono = one A polymer consists of many monomers joined to make a long chain. Each chemical group is like a bead in a necklace.

What is paint? Paint is a colloid- What does this mean? Solid particles are mixed and dispersed with particles of a liquid but are not dissolved. The particles are small enough so that the particles don t drop to the bottom of the liquid.
Solvent What do the ingredients in paint do? In a paint this is the liquid that suspends the other ingredients so it can be applied to a surface. It evaporates quickly so that the paint dries. Binding medium- This ensures that the paint adheres (sticks) to the surface, otherwise it would peel off. Pigment This is the colour in the paint. It is normally insoluble, suspended in the solvent.
How do paints dry? For all but a few paints to dry the solvent must evaporate. Oil Paint For an oil paint to dry, the solvent does not evaporate, instead it must undergo oxidation. What do you think this process involves? Emulsions paint- the solvent is water. What must happen for this paint to dry?

Upsetting the balance Until recently, the environment has maintained a balance of carbon dioxide: Carbon dioxide is produced by respiration and used by photosynthesis Unfortunately, this balance is being upset by two main factors: 1) Excessive burning of fossil fuels is producing too much carbon dioxide 2) Large scale deforestation is slowing down the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
In the beginning - The Earth was formed about 4500 million years ago. The very first atmosphere mainly consisted of hydrogen and helium gases. Frozen giant planets like Saturn and Jupiter still have atmospheres like this but on the warmer, smaller Earth these light gases were largely lost into space. Jupiter Saturn
The early atmosphere During the first billion years on Earth there was intense volcanic activity. This produced the next early atmosphere. It would have contained large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), along with methane (CH 4 ), and ammonia (NH 3 ). This is rather like the atmosphere on Mars and Venus today. The Earth s atmosphere would also have contained water vapour which condensed to form the oceans. Mars Venus
Oxygen levels increase Carbon dioxide reacted with rocks and much became trapped in them. The evolution of algae some 3000 million years ago, and subsequently plants which successfully colonised the Earth s surface, led us towards the present atmosphere. Their photosynthesis replaced carbon dioxide with oxygen. Over a period of time billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide became locked up in fossil fuels. Earth Photosynthesis increased oxygen levels
Nitrogen makes an appearance As oxygen levels rose atmospheric ammonia (NH 3 ) reacted with oxygen(o 2 ) to form water(h 2 O) and nitrogen (N 2 ) Also, living organisms, including denitrifying bacteria, broke down nitrogen compounds releasing more nitrogen into the atmosphere. Nitrogen is inert so remains constant. And so the atmosphere headed towards a composition that has remained fairly constant for the last 200 million years. 21% 1% 78% Nitrogen Oxygen Other
Forming the atmosphere Lots of volcanic eruption, releasing CO 2, NH 3, CH 4 and H 2 0 [Degassing] Earth cools and water condenses forming oceans Some CO 2 trapped in rocks and later fossil fuels Algae and plants begin to evolve and grow, turning CO 2 into O 2 [Photosynthesis] O 2 + NH 3 H 2 O + N Earths present atmosphere, 2 with constant amounts of nitrogen and oxygen As O 2 levels increase this reacts with NH 3 forming H 2 O and N 2 Bacteria + legumes turn nitrogen compounds into inert N 2 gas.

Tuesday, February 24, 2015 Air pollution Objectives 1. Know how air pollutants are formed & their effects. 2. Know how atmospheric pollution is controlled.
Polluting gases; Carbon monoxide (CO) Problem; A poisonous gas with no smell Source; incomplete combustion of petrol or diesel in car engines
Polluting gases; Oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) In car engine: O2+N2 2NO Problem; Causes photo chemical smog and acid rain Source; Formed in the engine of a car. The high temperatures provide the right conditions for nitrogen to react with oxygen
Photo chemical smog Nitrogen dioxide and various hydrocarbons produced through combustion will interact with sunlight to break down into hazardous chemicals. It doesn't have to be sunny for photochemical smog to form; UV light can also penetrate clouds. The pollutants released through human activity in this situation are known as primary pollutants, and they include sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and other volatile organic compounds. When these compounds interact with the sun, they form secondary pollutants like ozone and additional hydrocarbons.

Air pollution Pollution is caused by the activity of human beings. Even small amounts of can pollution ruin growing, crops corrode and metal erode carved. stonework Incomplete combustion may produce carbon monoxide gas, which is poisonous. Fossil fuels contain traces of sulphur, which are given off during as combustion sulphur dioxide. When sulphur dioxide dissolves in water, it makes the water. acidic Acid rain is rain that has sulphur dioxide dissolved in it. Acid rain can fall very close to the factory where the fuel was burned or many miles away. Acid rain created in the North of England can fall on Newcastle or can be carried on the wind and ruin trees in. Norway Photochemical smog, however, normally occurs closer to where it was produced, whether that is Los Angeles or Athens. Photochemical smog is caused by sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
