Chemistry is the science that studies the composition, structure, and properties of matter as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions and their relationship with energy. Chemistry is part of our life because it is present in all the fundamental aspects of our daily life (what we do every day, voluntarily or involuntarily). The variety and quality of personal hygiene products, canned food, computer circuits and the television screen, the colors of houses, the cold of the refrigerator and provides us with energy that is produced by different chemical reactions within our cells. We use this energy to run, play, study and work, among other activities, all thanks to the study of chemistry.
Chemistry contributes in an essential way, through pharmaceutical products, in the fight against diseases and in the improvement of the quality of life up to very advanced ages. This revolution in the improvement of human health has contributed, among others, two groups of medicines: antibiotics, which have revolutionized the cure of infections caused by microorganisms, and vaccines, which have been in the first line of defense against epidemics, contagious diseases, and foreseeable pathologies.
For all this relate to everyday life is easy and fun so we can achieve a reflective and creative learning, which allows to reach the essence, establish links and relationships and apply the content to social practice.
- Chemistry in relation to food.
Chemistry influences food so that everything we consume in our lives such as fruits and vegetables, meat, cereals, pasta, sugars have a certain amount of calories and proteins that will help us in the short term, or at the same time, they will harm us, either by giving us energy or in what would be a bad food habit. To all this chemistry, with the help of carbohydrates determine our energy, and there is a food pyramid in which we talk about how to consume and consume less.
Biological substances appear in some foods such as meats and vegetables, and in drinks such as milk or beer. This study is very similar to that of biochemistry from the point of view of the main ingredients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, etc. It also includes the study of water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, flavors, and color.
- Chemistry in relation to clothing
Well, what chemistry has to do with the garment industry is that there is a branch of chemistry called the chemical industry and within it is the textile industry that is responsible for making the dresses. The relation to which I am referring is that a natural resource is the wool of the sheep, this must carry a process through a chemical reaction which makes the wool become a thread that will be transformed into a dress
A very common example is if a type of fabric does not fall well with your skin cause that in your skin there is some kind of chemical reaction with the rash or an allergy, it all depends on the type of skin you have and how it reacts with the cloth.
- Chemistry in relation to health
Medicines and vaccines have eradicated practically large pathologies such as poliomyelitis, smallpox or tuberculosis. On the other hand, antiseptics and antibiotics help save mothers' lives in childbirth. But modern chemistry not only helps save millions of lives thanks to medicines but also through other products that break the chain of transmission of terrible diseases such as insecticides, disinfectants and other protectors of various kinds. Always, diseases are accompanied by very different kinds of suffering, pains, and disabilities. Medicines relieve pain and improve the quality of life.
- Chemistry in relation to physical and mental development
At this point, the chemistry has a very important aspect that would be
In the physical, human beings have to be a chemical hormonal change in our body to develop as it should and for that chemistry is what causes all this. In plants to grow and change their shape and birth, photosynthesis is needed, which in turn depends on the sun and water plus CO2, which is the same as carbon dioxide.
In the mental, humans to work well and how our brain must reproduce the neurons that are the ones that serve us to be able to reason which is the most specific characteristic of the human and for the proper functioning of this oxygen must get (O) to get air and so to speak "breathe."
- Chemistry in relation to culture and leisure
Paper and ink, photographs, films, diskettes, CDs, and DVDs are the results of processes involving Chemistry. Paints, pigments, adhesives, new materials such as plastics and alloys, are present in the development of the arts.
- Chemistry in relation to the means of transport
Three-quarters of the materials used in the manufacture of automobiles are chemical products. Since fuels, lubricants and additives to tire rubber, the metallic paint to ceramic materials or carbon fiber to multiple polymers that make them lighter, efficient, durable, environmentally friendly, silent.
- Chemistry in relation to hygiene products
For the care of our body, we use a variety of personal hygiene products such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste among others. Soaps are made up of molecules with double personality: one likes water and the other fats. So they cling to the fats that make up the dirt, and the water drags them away, leaving us clean.
