Course content

1 section • 10 lectures • 2h 15m total length

  • 16.1. Contents to Chemistry in Everyday Life11:21

    Explore the contents of chemistry in everyday life, including drugs, medicines, enzymes, cosmetics, and antibiotics. Examine fuels, ceramics, foods, soaps, detergents, rocket propellants, and high-performance carbon fibers.

  • 16.2. Important terms11:10

    Explore key terms in chemistry for everyday life, including medicines, drugs, drug design and targets, metabolism, lead compounds, enzymes, inhibitors, hormones, antihistamines, and antacids.

  • 16.3. Medicine and Health Care20:10

    Explore medicines and health care, defining chemotherapy, chemotherapeutic agents, and the difference between drugs and medicines, with natural and synthetic chemicals curing disease and relieving pain.

  • 16.4. Antibiotics13:44

    Discover how antibiotics work to stop or kill microorganisms, with examples like penicillin, broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum drugs, and the difference between bactericidal and bacteriostatic actions.

  • 16.5. Dyes10:43

    Explore how dyes color textiles and fabrics, how fixation and fastness to light and water determine performance, and classify acid, basic, direct, fiber-reactive, vat, and metal-ion based dyes.

  • 16.6. Cosmetics13:41

    Explore everyday cosmetics as chemicals, including cleansing, cold, vanishing, sunburn, and bleach creams, plus perfumes, talcum powder, deodorants, and antibacterial aluminum salts that protect and beautify the skin.

  • 16.7. High Performance Materials16:57

    Explore high-performance materials, especially carbon fibers and carbon fiber reinforced plastics, that are stronger than steel, stiffer than titanium, and lighter than aluminum, with aerospace, sports, and biomedical applications.

  • 16.8. Ceramics10:30

    Explore ceramics as inorganic non-metallic covalent network solids, their high-temperature strengthening, lightweight and corrosion resistance, insulative properties, and automotive applications such as long-lasting engines that require no lubrication.

  • 16.9. Soaps13:36

    Explore how soaps form from triglycerides and sodium hydroxide, producing hard and soft soaps with cleansing action, and contrast them with detergents in hard water.

  • 16.10. Rocket Propellants13:22

    Explore rocket propellants, including solid, composite, gaseous, liquid, and hybrid fuels and oxidizers; learn classifications, examples, thrust differences, and how propellant state affects performance.

Requirements

  • The child should have a clear concepts of matter in surroundings..

Description

Chemical substances of natural or synthetic origin which are used for

curing diseases and reducing suffering from pain are called medicines or

drugs. The branch of science which deals with the treatment of diseases

using suitable chemicals is known as chemotherapy.

A medicine is a chemical substance which cure the disease is safe to use

has negligible toxicity and does not cause addiction. In contrast, a drug is

a chemical substance which also cures the diseases but habit forming

causes addiction and serious side effects.

Antacids are drugs which raise the pH to an appropriate level in the

stomach. Some basic compounds like sodium bicarbonate, magnesium

carbonate, aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide gel act as

antacids by neutralizing hydronium ions in stomach acid.

The drugs cimetidine (Tegamet) and ranitidine (Zantac) act as antacids by

preventing the interaction of histamine with the receptors present in the

stomach wall resulting in release of lesser amount of acid.

Omeprazole and lansoprazole are also marketed as antacids.

The drugs which act on the central nervous systems (CNS) and help in

reducing stress and fatigue by inducing a sense of well being are called

tranquillizers. The most commonly used tranquillizers are barbituric acid

and its 5, 5 – disubstituted derivatives such as veronal, luminal, seconal

amytal and membutal.

Cleordiazepoxide and meprobante are relatively mild tranquillizers and

hence are used for relieving tension. Equanil is used for reducing

depression and hypertension.

Reserpine isolated from the Indian plant Rauwolfia serpentine is also a

powerful tranquillizer. It also slows down the pulse rate and lowers the

blood pressure.
