Description

Book Introduction

Selected as an excellent publication content in 2015 by the Korea Publication Industry Promotion Agency
We can do chemical experiments that change the fate of humanity too!!
Time to get familiar with chemistry through easy and fun experiments!

Unfamiliar terms and chemical formulas, complex formulas, and the periodic table that you just have to memorize.
Is the world of chemistry remote and complex? Not at all.
Let's put aside books full of difficult symbols for a moment and turn our eyes to everyday life.
The principles of chemistry are hidden in the trees that fill the streets, in the blue sea that makes you want to dive, in the rice bowl you ate this morning, and even in our bodies.
"The Chemistry is Amazing" is the first story in the Blue Fields popular science series, which aims to make scientific principles accessible to the general public.
The reason science is difficult is because we only learn about scientific principles through theories in textbooks.
As a result, it is not easy to fully understand the concept.
This book moves away from theory-focused science textbooks and approaches the principles of chemistry in a more approachable way through experiments that students can easily try, instead of unfamiliar terms and complex chemical formulas.
The author is the No. 1 chemistry teacher who has guided students across the country through the world of chemistry for 10 years on EBS's College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) broadcast.
I rolled up my sleeves and headed into the lab to show that the world of chemistry is not about complex formulas, but rather about the magic hidden in everyday life.

The content is filled with experiments that students can easily do at home or in the school laboratory, explaining the experiments and theories of famous chemists using everyday examples.
Don't think it's just an experiment! The results are explained in an easy-to-understand way, explaining why certain phenomena occur and how they can be applied in real-life situations. This approach also includes familiar examples to help readers understand the principles of chemistry.
The chemical experiment stories in this book are the basic topics covered in middle and high school chemistry.
It can also be used as a general textbook for students who want help understanding the chemistry concepts presented in textbooks, and for teenagers and adults who are generally interested in science.
Also, if you do light experiments at home with your parents, in a club, or follow along with the experiments in the book, chemistry will become much more familiar.
Chemistry experiments don't have to be grandiose.
The chemists who changed the fate of mankind were all students at first.
They, too, followed the experiments of the previous generation and found brilliant ideas in the chemical principles hidden in everyday life.
Let's open the door to the fun and exciting world of chemistry through the stories of chemists who left their mark on the history of science, their research, and experiments worth trying.

Into the book

Water is essential for human survival.
In English, it is 'water', in Japanese, it is 'mizu', in German, it is 'Wasser', and in Chinese, it is 'shui'. Each country has a different way of expressing water.
So, how many languages around the world are there that describe water? With thousands, even tens of thousands, of languages on Earth, there must be countless languages for water.
Okay, so let's express water as a chemical formula.
The chemical formula for water is simply one word, 'H2O'.
That is why, as I said before, chemical formulas allow people all over the world to speak and empathize with things in one language.
Is chemical formulas still so difficult? Think of them as "a new language for dealing with the world of matter."
If you think of the process of acquiring that language as chemistry, you will be able to open the door to chemistry with a much lighter heart.

In 1869, Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907) of Russia wrote the chemistry textbook 『Principles of Chemistry』 while working as a professor at St. Petersburg University.
While writing his textbook, he tried to study the relationships between chemical elements.
Each of the 63 elements known at the time was made into a card, and necessary information about the atom, such as its atomic number (14), was written down.
He even arranged the cards according to their elemental properties.
Then one day, while taking a nap, Mendeleev suddenly had the idea, “Wouldn’t it be logical to arrange the cards in order of atomic weight?” This was because atomic weight is related to the ‘volume of an atom’, the ‘number of protons’ and the ‘number of electrons’ in an atom.
Mendeleev made a striking discovery when he arranged the cards in order of atomic weight.
He arranged the atoms in order of atomic mass from top left to bottom, with elements with similar properties in the next row.
Instead of forcing things together, if there are no elements that exhibit similar properties, we coolly leave that space blank.

This time, we will use Boyle's Law to make a 'King Choco Pie'.
This is an experiment where Choco Pies are placed in a vacuum container used in the kitchen and the pressure inside the container is lowered using a pump.

There are many air particles inside the marshmallow in the middle of the Choco Pie (A).
If you reduce the pressure inside the container using a vacuum pump, the volume of air inside the marshmallow will increase, right? (B) Therefore, as the marshmallow puffs up, the Choco Pie loses its original shape and becomes a king Choco Pie (C).
At this time, if you adjust the pressure of the vacuum device to inject air again, the pressure applied to the Choco Pie will increase, causing the volume of the marshmallow to decrease and disappear into the pie (D) --- p.129

These properties of water are utilized in various ways around us.
First, there is a boiler used at home.
The boiler heats water and sends it through pipes laid under the floor to provide heating.
At this time, water has a high specific heat capacity and temperature changes do not occur easily, so a lot of heat can be supplied from the boiler and transferred to the floor of the room.
This is also the reason why water is used to cool large refrigerators and air conditioners, in addition to heating.
Meanwhile, why doesn't anyone inside a sauna get burned even when the thermometer reads over 50℃? There are many reasons, but it's possible because our bodies are over 70% water.
By sweating and evaporating, we can maintain our body temperature at a normal level.
The phenomenon that occurs because the specific heat of water is large plays a role in maintaining a constant temperature not only for living things but also for the entire Earth.
A high specific heat means that temperature changes do not occur easily.

Now, depending on which electrolyte is in the aqueous solution, the substances obtained from the (+) and (-) poles, as well as the liquid properties, can be different.
So, let's go back to the woodcutter's story. How did he create gold-plated axes and silver axes? That's right! By using the principle of electrolysis.
In other words, connect the metal you want to plate (gold or silver axe) to the (+) pole to cause an oxidation reaction, and connect the object you want to plate (iron axe) to the (-) pole to cause a reduction reaction.
If you want to plate a silver spoon using a silver plate, you should connect the silver plate to the (+) pole and the spoon to the (-) pole as shown in the diagram on page 258, so that an oxidation reaction occurs at the (+) pole and a reduction reaction occurs at the (-) pole.
There is another important factor here.
It's the electrolyte.
For the electrolyte, don't forget that it must be matched to the plating solution in which the metal ions to be plated are dissolved!

Publisher's Review

From head to toe, from the moment you open your eyes until you fall asleep,
Meet the chemistry that permeates every corner of our lives!

There are about 7 billion people living on Earth.
The number of languages they use is as many as 6,700.
Needless to say, even languages that refer to the same thing are different.
But people who have studied chemistry can communicate in one language.
This is done by using the element symbol, which is a symbol that represents a substance, and the chemical formula, which is a combination of element symbols.
But to us, element symbols and chemical formulas are as unfamiliar as an alien language.
The reason is that rather than trying to understand the principles of chemistry, they just try to memorize the theories in the textbook.
What young people who find chemistry difficult, saying things like, “Why should I learn chemistry?” or “Chemistry has nothing to do with us,” need is not difficult chemical formulas or theories.
The first thing to do is to realize how close chemistry is to our lives.
Friends from all over the world gathered to play soccer.
I'm thirsty and want to drink some water, but the word for water is different in each country.
At this time, chemical symbols can be used to communicate easily.
This is the moment when chemical symbols, which were thought to be an alien language, acted as an interpreter.

Chemistry can be easily found in the things we use.
The air you breathe when you wake up in the morning is oxygen gas, and the water you use to wash your face is a compound of polar molecules.
The food we ate for breakfast can be expressed using chemical formulas such as carbohydrates and proteins, and the plastic cup we drank water from is a polymer compound of the polyethylene series, which was probably made through an addition polymerization reaction using a unit called ethylene.
Just by looking at the food we eat and the things we use, we can see that chemistry is hidden in each and every element of the composition and manufacturing process.
The world of chemistry is so intimate with us.
I just didn't realize it.
Still, chemistry is difficult? "Chemistry is Amazing" shows us that chemistry isn't some distant, difficult discipline.
Let's delve into the deep and mysterious world of chemistry by examining the chemical principles we encounter in our daily lives through experiments rather than text.

Welcome to the chemistry lab where the chemistry is amazing.

Okay, now let's put on our white coats and lab gloves and enter the "Chemistry is Amazing" chemistry lab.
"Chemistry is Amazing" boldly opens the door to the world of chemistry through 14 experiments.
The process is explained in detail so that you can try out the experiments of scientists who have illuminated the world of chemistry, such as 'Water Electrolysis Experiment', 'Thomson's Electron Discovery Experiment', 'Avogadro's Number of a Substance', 'Polar and Non-Polar Molecules', 'Charles's Law Experiment', 'Reactivity of Metals', and 'Changes in the State of a Substance'.
Does the title of the experiment sound daunting? Not at all! We can do it too.
You can recreate the experiments of famous chemists through examples that can be easily encountered in everyday life, such as 'What happens when you break down a substance, break it down again, and break it down again?', 'Why did Napoleon's army fail to conquer the world?', 'How to remove rust from a silver spoon?', and 'How to remove the sourness of kimchi stew.'
If you've opened your eyes to the principles of chemistry in everyday life, try conducting experiments yourself, following the experimental process of the Chemical Lab.
The author's personal experiments, photographs taken and helpful explanations help young people understand the principles through their own experiments and the results.

It doesn't end here.
Let's take a closer look at the experimental results with our teacher and find examples of how the laws of chemistry apply in real life.
You can think of more new examples yourself and discuss them with your friends.
If you search by area for the parts you were most interested in or the parts that appear in the textbook, you will be able to encounter a more flexible world of chemistry.
Don't have the conditions for experimentation? Our abundant experimental photos and illustrations will give you the vivid experience of conducting experiments in a lab.
You can also use the Chemical Lab page as experimental material for clubs or classes.
The Experiment Results section includes simple experiments that you can try right away, such as 'Making a King Choco Pie,' so you can become a chemist at home without any burden.
After all that hard work, it's time to take a breather! As you read about the achievements of the scientists featured in Chemical Story and the fascinating facts about the chemical world, you'll find yourself strengthening your chemistry.
