Our Chemistry and Technology Box on the next page gives more information about the role of equilibrium in the chemical industry. 

The amino acids, basic building blocks of proteins, all share this dual acid-base character. See Chapter 13 for a description of the amino acids and their biological chemistry. Organic bases also have a long and varied history as painkillers and narcotics, as our Chemishy and Life Box on the next page describes. 

Our Chemistry and the Environment Box on the next page describes a detoxification problem that was solved by applying redox chemistry. 

In the real world of defect chemistry, we find that in addition to the simple defects, other types of defects can also appear, depending upon the type of crystal we are dealing with. These may be summarized as shown in the following, given as 3.7.1. on the next page. 

The Chemistry Bulletin, on the next page, introduces you to the terms oxidant and antioxidant How may oxidants and antioxidants affect human health Consider this question to prepare for your Chemistry Course Challenge. 

That is all we shall say in the way of introduction. On the next page the real chemistry starts, and our intention is to help you to learn real chemistry, and to enjoy it. 

Characteristics that help you describe and identify matter are called properties. Figure 1.2 on the next page shows some properties of water and hydrogen peroxide. Examples of properties include physical state, colour, odour, texture, boiling temperature, density, and flammability (combustibility). Table 1.2 on the next page lists some common properties of matter. You will have direct experience with most of these properties during this chemistry course. 

One of the problems with air bags (see Figure 12.15 on the next page) is that they can harm a child or small adult because too much gas is produced. To find out what volume of nitrogen gas in an air bag is safe for a child, go to the web site above. Go to Science Resources, then to Chemistry 11 to find out where to go next. Use the volume you find to calculate the mass of NaN3(s> that is needed to produce this volume at 22.0°C and 105 kPa. 

It is worth repeating that one of the real advantages of preparing interfaces by simple adsorption of a preformed polymer is ease of fabrication. Another is chemical versatility which is limited only by the synthesis of new polymers. One recent synthetic development is reductive loss of Cl" followed by re-oxidation and pyridyl incorporation, all of which can be made to occur within a preformed electrode-polymer interface, as shown on the next page. The work is described in another paper in this volume (34). Another development is the preparation of an extended series of related PVP polymers based on Ru-bpy chemistry, -(py)Ru(bpy)2X2+... 

The chemistry outlined on the next page was used to produce a cyclic arene-chromium carbene complex.100... 

D) Acids do not spontaneously spit out a proton Despite our way of writing ionization equilibria as shown on the next page, acids do not give up a proton unless a base comes by to take the proton away. The reactions as drawn in the table should be considered half-reactions, just as the reactions in the electromotive series were half-reactions for balancing oxidation-reduction reactions in general chemistry. 

The chemistry laboratory is a safe place to work if you are aware of important safety rules and if you are careful. You must be responsible for your own safety and for the safety of others. The safety rules given here will protect you and others from harm in the lab. While carrying out procedures in any of the ChemLabs, notice the safety symbols and caution statements. The safety symbols are explained in the chart on the next page. 

The principles of chemistry have been modified over time and are still evolving. At the dawn of human experience, our ancestors survived through knowledge acquired by trial and error which types of stone were hard enough to shape others, which plants were edible, and so forth. Today, the science of chemistry, with its powerful quantitative theories, helps us understand the essential nature of materials to make better use of them and create new ones specialized drugs, advanced composites, synthetic polymers, and countless other new materials (Figure 1.4, on the next page).

BASF worked out a procedure (second scheme on next page), which does not require any protecting group chemistry. Actinol is reacted at low temperature with dichloromethyilithium to form initially a chloro-oxirane, which undergoes upon warming a rearrangement to a bicydic aldehyde. The side-chain is... 

Most of the results were obtained in the past ten years with divalent lanthanides (9). These elements tend to revert to trivalent state by one. electron transfer which can initiate useful organic chemistry. A mechanistic presentation is in the scheme of the next page, where A-B stands for an organic molecule. ...
