    This document provides a historical overview of chemistry from ancient times to modern times. It describes how early humans discovered fire and began using it for tasks like cooking and metallurgy. Metals like copper, tin, and iron were used to make tools and ornaments. Alchemy sought to transform metals into gold and find an elixir of life. Modern chemistry emerged from the scientific work of early Muslim scholars like Jabir ibn Hayyan and European scientists like Robert Boyle and Antoine Lavoisier. The production of materials like sulfuric acid, coal tar dyes, steel alloys, and petroleum products marked the beginnings of the modern chemical industry.

    Backgroun
    d
    Fire
    • The very first chemical reaction
    • Known to be a mystical force which
    transform a substance to another
    • Led to the development of tools for
    the early man such as
    – Cooking
    – Pottery
    – metallurgy
    The Age of Metals
    • Early man began working
    with metals when he
    observed that certain
    kinds of stone formed
    small beads of metal
    when heated in fire.

    • Metals were used as


    ornaments as well as for
    everyday use
    The Age of Metals
    • Tin ores were
    discovered and mixed
    with copper to
    produce bronze
    • Then came the
    discovery of steel
    during the Iron Age.
    Acquisition of Knowledge
    “Khem” was the term for
    metallurgy in Egypt

    hemistry was derived from “Khem”


    Alchemy
    • Practiced by many
    cultures throughout
    history
    • Commonly known for its
    transmutation of
    common base metals
    into gold
    • It also seeks to find the
    elixir of life which would
    free someone from any
    illnesses and eternal
    youth
    Alchemy to Chemistry
    • Early scientific method
    emerged in the Muslim
    countries
    • Jabir ibn Hayyan, also
    known as “Gaber” in
    Europe, was considered
    as the father of chemistry
    by many
    • Early Arabic science was
    available through Latin
    translations
    Age of Modern Chemical
    Industry
    • Started in 1660-
    1670 by Robert
    Boyle
    • Credited by his
    discovery of
    Boyle’s Law
    Age of Modern Chemical
    Industry
    Antoine Lavoisier
    • Known as the
    father of Modern
    Chemistry
    • Discovery of the
    Law of
    Conservation of
    Mass
    Age of Modern Chemical
    Industry
    • Production of sulfuric acid was the
    first modern chemical industry
    • The manufacture of urea, an organic
    fertilizer from inorganic materials, by
    Friedrick Wohler started the great
    advances in commercial
    developments of materials
    Age of Modern Chemical
    Industry
    • Organic materials
    – Coal gas for lighting
    – Phenol for antiseptic
    – Alcohol, ether, & chloroform as solvents
    • Coal Tar Dye (synthetic dye) by
    William Perkins led to the discovery
    of colorful clothing
    Age of Modern Chemical
    Industry
    • Other developments
    – Alloys of steel for machinery parts
    – Aluminum for strength and lightness of
    construction materials
    – Petroleum to provide fuels and produce
    lubricants
    – Inorganic fertilizers
    – Plastics, drugs and radioactive substances
