Manahan, Stanley E "INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY" Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry Boca Raton: CRC Press LLC,2001 INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY 1.1 CHEMISTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY Chemistry is defined as the science of matter Therefore, it deals with the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil that grows our food, and vital life substances and processes Our own bodies contain a vast variety of chemical substances and are tremendously sophisticated chemical factories that carry out an incredible number of complex chemical processes There is a tremendous concern today about the uses—and particularly the misuses—of chemistry as it relates to the environment Ongoing events serve as constant reminders of threats to the environment ranging from individual exposures to toxicants to phenomena on a global scale that may cause massive, perhaps catastrophic, alterations in climate These include, as examples, evidence of a perceptible warming of climate; record weather events—particularly floods—in the United States in the 1990s; and air quality in Mexico City so bad that it threatens human health Furthermore, large numbers of employees must deal with hazardous substances and wastes in laboratories and the workplace All such matters involve environmental chemistry for understanding of the problems and for arriving at solutions to them Environmental chemistry is that branch of chemistry that deals with the origins, transport, reactions, effects, and fates of chemical species in the water, air, earth, and living environments and the influence of human activities thereon.1 A related discipline, toxicological chemistry, is the chemistry of toxic substances with emphasis upon their interaction with biologic tissue and living systems.2 Besides its being an essential, vital discipline in its own right, environmental chemistry provides an excellent framework for the study of chemistry, dealing with “general chemistry,” organic chemistry, chemical analysis, physical chemistry, photochemistry, geochemistry, and biological chemistry By necessity it breaks down the barriers that tend to compartmentalize chemistry as it is conventionally addressed Therefore, this book is written with two major goals—to provide an overview of chemical science within an environmental chemistry framework and to provide the basics of environmental © 2001 CRC Press LLC chemistry for those who need to know about this essential topic for their professions or for their overall education 1.2 A MINI-COURSE IN CHEMISTRY It is much easier to learn chemistry if one already knows some chemistry! That is, in order to go into any detail on any chemical topic, it is extremely helpful to have some very rudimentary knowledge of chemistry as a whole For example, a crucial part of chemistry is an understanding of the nature of chemical compounds, the chemical formulas used to describe them, and the chemical bonds that hold them together; these are topics addressed in Chapter of this book However, to understand these concepts, it is very helpful to know some things about the chemical reactions by which chemical compounds are formed, as addressed in Chapter To work around this problem, Chapter provides a highly condensed, simplified, but meaningful overview of chemistry to give the reader the essential concepts and terms required to understand more-advanced chemical material 1.3 THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF MATTER All matter is composed of only about a hundred fundamental kinds of matter called elements Each element is made up of very small entities called atoms; all atoms of the same element behave identically chemically The study of chemistry, therefore, can logically begin with elements and the atoms of which they are composed Subatomic Particles and Atoms Figure 1.1 represents an atom of deuterium, a form of the element hydrogen It is seen that such an atom is made up of even smaller subatomic particles—positively charged protons, negatively charged electrons, and uncharged (neutral) neutrons Protons and neutrons have relatively high masses compared with electrons and are contained in the positively charged nucleus of the atom The nucleus has essentially all the mass, but occupies virtually none of the volume, of Nucleus + n Electron “cloud” Figure 1.1 Representation of a deuterium atom The nucleus contains one proton (+) and one neutron (n) The electron (-) is in constant, rapid motion around the nucleus, forming a cloud of negative electrical charge, the density of which drops off with increasing distance from the nucleus © 2001 CRC Press LLC the atom An uncharged atom has the same number of electrons as protons The electrons in an atom are contained in a cloud of negative charge around the nucleus that occupies most of the volume of the atom Atoms and Elements All of the literally millions of different substances are composed of only around 100 elements Each atom of a particular element is chemically identical to every other atom and contains the same number of protons in its nucleus This number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of an element is the atomic number of the element Atomic numbers are integers ranging from to more than 100, each of which denotes a particular element In addition to atomic numbers, each element has a name and a chemical symbol, such as carbon, C; potassium, K (for its Latin name kalium); or cadmium, Cd In addition to atomic number, name, and chemical symbol, each element has an atomic mass (atomic weight) The atomic mass of each element is the average mass of all atoms of the element, including the various isotopes of which it consists The atomic mass unit, u (also called the dalton), is used to express masses of individual atoms and molecules (aggregates of atoms) These terms are summarized in Figure 1.2 - - - 6+ 6n - - - - An atom of carbon, symbol C Each C atom has protons (+) in its nucleus, so the atomic number of C is The atomic mass of C is 12 - 7+ 7n - - - An atom of nitrogen, symbol N Each N atom has protons (+) in its nucleus, so the atomic number of N is The atomic mass of N is 14 Figure 1.2 Atoms of carbon and nitrogen Although atoms of the same element are chemically identical, atoms of most elements consist of two or more isotopes that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei Some isotopes are radioactive isotopes or radionuclides, which have unstable nuclei that give off charged particles and gamma rays in the form of radioactivity This process of radioactive decay changes atoms of a particular element to atoms of another element © 2001 CRC Press LLC Throughout this book reference is made to various elements A list of the known elements is given on page 120 at the end of Chapter Fortunately, most of the chemistry covered in this book requires familiarity with only about 25 or 30 elements An abbreviated list of a few of the most important elements that the reader should learn at this point is given in Table 1.1 Table 1.1 List of Some of the More Important Common Elements Element Argon Bromine Calcium Carbon Chlorine Copper Fluorine Helium Hydrogen Iron Magnesium Mercury Neon Nitrogen Oxygen Potassium Silicon Sodium Sulfur Symbol Atomic Number Ar Br Ca C Cl Cu F He H Fe Mg Hg Ne N O K Si Na S 18 35 20 17 29 26 12 80 10 19 14 11 16 Atomic Mass (relative to carbon-12) 39.948 79.904 40.08 12.01115 35.453 63.546 18.998403 4.00260 1.0080 55.847 24.305 200.59 20.179 14.0067 15.9994 39.0983 28.0855 22.9898 32.06 The Periodic Table When elements are considered in order of increasing atomic number, it is observed that their properties are repeated in a periodic manner For example, elements with atomic numbers 2, 10, and 18 are gases that not undergo chemical reactions and consist of individual molecules, whereas those with atomic numbers larger by one—3, 11, and 19—are unstable, highly reactive metals An arrangement of the elements in a manner that reflects this recurring behavior is known as the periodic table (Figure 1.3) The periodic table is extremely useful in understanding chemistry and predicting chemical behavior The entry for each element in the periodic table gives the element’s atomic number, name, symbol, and atomic mass More-detailed versions of the table include other information as well © 2001 CRC Press LLC © 2001 CRC Press LLC Features of the Periodic Table The periodic table gets its name from the fact that the properties of elements are repeated periodically in going from left to right across a horizontal row of elements The table is arranged such that an element has properties similar to those of other elements above or below it in the table Elements with similar chemical properties are called groups of elements and are contained in vertical columns in the periodic table 1.4 CHEMICAL BONDS AND COMPOUNDS Only a few elements, particularly the noble gases, exist as individual atoms; most atoms are joined by chemical bonds to other atoms This can be illustrated very simply by elemental hydrogen, which exists as molecules, each consisting of H atoms linked by a chemical bond as shown in Figure 1.4 Because hydrogen molecules contain H atoms, they are said to be diatomic and are denoted by the chemical formula H2 The H atoms in the H2 molecule are held together by a covalent bond made up of electrons, each contributed by one of the H atoms, and shared between the atoms H H H The H atoms in elemental hydrogen H2 H are held together by chemical bonds in molecules that have the chemical formula H2 Figure 1.4 Molecule of H2 Chemical Compounds Most substances consist of two or more elements joined by chemical bonds As an example, consider the chemical combination of the elements hydrogen and oxygen shown in Figure 1.5 Oxygen, chemical symbol O, has an atomic number of and an atomic mass of 16.00 and exists in the elemental form as diatomic molecules of O2 Hydrogen atoms combine with oxygen atoms to form molecules in which H atoms are bonded to O atom in a substance with a chemical formula of H2O (water) A substance such as H2O that consists of a chemically bonded comH H H O Hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms bond together H O To form molecules in which H atoms are attached to O atom H2O The chemical formula of the resulting compound, water is H2O Figure 1.5 A molecule of water, H2O, formed from H atoms and O atom held together by chemical bonds © 2001 CRC Press LLC bination of two or more elements is called a chemical compound (A chemical compound is a substance that consists of atoms of two or more different elements bonded together.) In the chemical formula for water the letters H and O are the chemical symbols of the two elements in the compound and the subscript indicates that there are H atoms per O atom (The absence of a subscript after the O denotes the presence of just O atom in the molecule.) Each of the chemical bonds holding a hydrogen atom to the oxygen atom in the water molecule is composed of two electrons shared between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms Ionic Bonds As shown in Figure 1.6, the transfer of electrons from one atom to another produces charged species called ions Positively charged ions are called cations and negatively charged ions are called anions Ions that make up a solid compound are held together by ionic bonds in a crystalline lattice consisting of an ordered arrangement of the ions in which each cation is largely surrounded by anions and each anion by cations The attracting forces of the oppositely charged ions in the crystalline lattice constitute the ionic bonds in the compound The formation of the ionic compound magnesium oxide is shown in Figure 1.6 In naming this compound, the cation is simply given the name of the element from which it was formed, magnesium However, the ending of the name of the anion, oxide, is different from that of the element from which it was formed, oxygen 2e- Mg2+ ion O2- ion 12e- 8e- 10e- 10e- Mg 12+ O 8+ Mg 12+ O 8+ MgO Atom nucleus The transfer of two electrons from an atom of Mg to an O atom yields an ion of Mg2+ and one of O2- in the compound MgO Figure 1.6 Ionic bonds are formed by the transfer of electrons and the mutual attraction of oppositely charged ions in a crystalline lattice Rather than individual atoms that have lost or gained electrons, many ions are groups of atoms bonded together covalently and having a net charge A common example of such an ion is the ammonium ion, NH4+ , H + H N H H Ammonium ion, NH +4 consisting of hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single nitrogen (N) atom and having a net electrical charge of +1 for the whole cation © 2001 CRC Press LLC Summary of Chemical Compounds and the Ionic Bond The preceding several pages have just covered some material on chemical compounds and bonds that are essential to understand chemistry To summarize, these are the following: • Atoms of two or more different elements can form chemical bonds with each other to yield a product that is entirely different from the elements • Such a substance is called a chemical compound • The formula of a chemical compound gives the symbols of the elements and uses subscripts to show the relative numbers of atoms of each element in the compound • Molecules of some compounds are held together by covalent bonds consisting of shared electrons • Another kind of compound consists of ions composed of electrically charged atoms or groups of atoms held together by ionic bonds that exist because of the mutual attraction of oppositely charged ions Molecular Mass The average mass of all molecules of a compound is its molecular mass (formerly called molecular weight) The molecular mass of a compound is calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the relative number of atoms of the element, then adding all the values obtained for each element in the compound For example, the molecular mass of NH3 is 14.0 + x 1.0 = 17.0 As another example consider the following calculation of the molecular mass of ethylene, C2H4 The chemical formula of the compound is C2H4 Each molecule of C2H4 consists of C atoms and H atoms From the periodic table or Table 1.1, the atomic mass of C is 12.0 and that of H is 1.0 Therefore, the molecular mass of C2H4 is 12.0 + 12.0 + 1.0 + 1.0 + 1.0 + 1.0 = 28.0 From C atoms From H atoms 1.5 CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND EQUATIONS Chemical reactions occur when substances are changed to other substances through the breaking and formation of chemical bonds For example, water is produced by the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen: Hydrogen plus oxygen yields water © 2001 CRC Press LLC Chemical reactions are written as chemical equations The chemical reaction between hydrogen and water is written as the balanced chemical equation 2H2 + O2 → 2H 2O (1.5.1) in which the arrow is read as “yields” and separates the hydrogen and oxygen reactants from the water product Note that because elemental hydrogen and elemental oxygen occur as diatomic molecules of H2 and O2, respectively, it is necessary to write the equation in a way that reflects these correct chemical formulas of the elemental form All correctly written chemical equations are balanced, in that they must show the same number of each kind of atom on both sides of the equation The equation above is balanced because of the following: On the left • There are H2 molecules, each containing H atoms for a total of H atoms on the left • There is O2 molecule, containing O atoms for a total of O atoms on the left On the right • There are H2O molecules each containing H atoms and O atom for a total of H atoms and O atoms on the right The process of balancing chemical equations is relatively straightforward for simple equations It is discussed in Chapter 1.6 NUMBERS IN CHEMISTRY: EXPONENTIAL NOTATION An essential skill in chemistry is the ability to handle numbers, including very large and very small numbers An example of the former is Avogadro’s number, which is discussed in detail in Chapters and Avogadro’s number is a way of expressing quantities of entities such as atoms or molecules and is equal to 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 A number so large written in this decimal form is very cumbersome to express and very difficult to handle in calculations It can be expressed much more conveniently in exponential notation Avogadro’s number in exponential notation is 6.02 × 10 23 It is put into decimal form by moving the decimal in 6.02 to the right by 23 places Exponential notation works equally well to express very small numbers, such as 0.000,000,000,000,000,087 In exponential notation this number is 8.7 × 10-17 To convert this number back to decimal form, the decimal point in 8.7 is simply moved 17 places to the left A number in exponential notation consists of a digital number equal to or greater than exactly and less than exactly 10 (examples are 1.00000, 4.3, 6.913, 8.005, 9.99999) multiplied by a power of 10 (10-17, 1013, 10-5, 103, 1023) Some examples of numbers expressed in exponential notation are given in Table 1.2 As seen in the second column of the table, a positive power of 10 shows the number of times that the digital number is multiplied by 10 and a negative power of 10 shows © 2001 CRC Press LLC

p-Nitrophenol Manahan, Stanley E "Frontmatter" Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry Boca Raton: CRC Press LLC,2001 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry, 2nd edition, is written with two major objectives in mind The first of these is to provide a reader having little or no background in chemistry with the fundamentals of chemistry needed for a trade, profession, or curriculum of study that requires a basic knowledge of these topics The second objective of the book is to provide a basic coverage of modern environmental chemistry This is done within a framework of industrial ecology and an emerging approach to chemistry that has come to be known as “green chemistry.” Virtually everyone needs some knowledge of chemistry Unfortunately, this vital, interesting discipline “turns off” many of the very people who need a rudimentary knowledge of it There are many reasons that this is so For example, “chemophobia,” an unreasoned fear of insidious contamination of food, water, and air with chemicals at undetectable levels that may cause cancer and other maladies is widespread among the general population The language of chemistry is often made too complex so that those who try to learn it retreat from concepts such as moles, orbitals, electronic configurations, chemical bonds, and molecular structure before coming to realize that these ideas are comprehensible and even interesting and useful Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry is designed to be simple and understandable, and it is the author’s hope that readers will find it interesting and applicable to their own lives Without being overly simplistic or misleading, it seeks to present chemical principles in ways that even a reader with a minimal background in, or no particular aptitude for, science and mathematics can master the material in it and apply it to a trade, profession, or course of study One of the ways in which Environmental Chemistry Fundamentals presents chemistry in a “reader-friendly” manner is through a somewhat unique organizational structure In the first few pages of Chapter 1, the reader is presented with a “mini-course” in chemistry that consists of the most basic concepts and terms needed to really begin to understand chemistry To study chemistry, it is necessary to know a few essential things—what an atom is, what is meant by elements, chemical formulas, chemical bonds, molecular mass With these terms defined in very basic © 2001 CRC Press LLC ways it is possible to go into more detail on chemical concepts without having to assume—as many introductory chemistry books somewhat awkwardly—that the reader knows nothing of the meaning of these terms Chapter discusses matter largely on the basis of its physical nature and behavior, introducing physical and chemical properties, states of matter, the mole as a quantity of matter, and other ideas required to visualize chemical substances as physical entities Chapters 3–5 cover the core of chemical knowledge constructed as a language in which elements and the atoms of which they are composed (Chapter 3) are presented as letters of an alphabet, the compounds made up of elements (Chapter 4) are analogous to words, the reactions by which compounds are synthesized and changed (Chapter 5) are like sentences in the chemical language, and the mathematical aspects hold it all together quantitatively Chapters 6–8 constitute the remainder of material that is usually regarded as essential material in general chemistry Chapter presents a basic coverage of organic chemistry Although this topic is often ignored at the beginning chemistry level, those who deal with the real world of environmental pollution, hazardous wastes, agricultural science, and other applied areas quickly realize that a rudimentary understanding of organic chemistry is essential Chapter 10 covers biological chemistry, an area essential to understanding later material dealing with environmental and toxicological chemistry Beyond Chapter 10, the book concentrates on environmental chemistry Traditionally, discussion of environmental science has been devoted to the four traditional spheres—the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere—that is, water, air, land, and life It has usually been the case that, when mentioned at all in environmental science courses, human and industrial activities have been presented in terms of pollution and detrimental effects on the environment Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry goes beyond this narrow focus and addresses a fifth sphere of the environment, the anthrosphere, consisting of the things that humans make, use, and In taking this approach, it is recognized that humans have vast effects upon the environment and that they will use the other environmental spheres and the materials, energy, and life forms in them for perceived human needs The challenge before humankind is to integrate the anthrosphere into the total environment and to direct human efforts toward the preservation and enhancement of the environment, rather than simply its exploitation Environmental chemistry has a fundamental role in this endeavor, and this book is designed to assist the reader with the basic tools required to use environmental chemistry to enhance the environment upon which we all ultimately depend for our existence and well-being Chapters 11–13 address the environmental chemistry of the hydrosphere Chapter 11 discusses the fundamental properties of water, water supply and distribution, properties of bodies of water, and basic aquatic chemistry, including acidbase behavior, phase interactions, oxidation-reduction, chelation, and the important influences of bacteria, algae, and other life forms on aquatic chemistry Chapter 12 deals specifically with water pollution and Chapter 13 with water treatment Chapter 14 introduces the atmosphere and atmospheric chemistry, including the key concept of photochemistry It discusses stratification of the atmosphere, Earth’s crucial energy balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing infrared energy, and weather and climate as they are driven by redistribution of energy and water in © 2001 CRC Press LLC the atmosphere Inorganic air pollutants, including nitrogen and sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide (potentially a “pollutant” if excessive levels lead to detrimental greenhouse warming) are discussed in Chapter 14 Organic air pollutants and photochemical smog are the topics of Chapter 15 The geosphere is addressed in Chapters 17 and 18 Chapter 17 is a discussion of the composition and characteristics of the geosphere Chapter 18 deals with soil and agriculture and addresses topics such as conservation tillage and the promise and potential pitfalls of genetically modified crops and food Chapters 19–22 discuss anthrospheric aspects of environmental chemistry Chapter 19 outlines industrial ecology as it relates to environmental chemistry Chapter 20 covers the emerging area of “green chemistry,” defined as the sustainable exercise of chemical science and technology within the framework of good practice of industrial ecology so that the use and handling of hazardous substances are minimized and such substances are never released to the environment Chapter 21 covers the nature, sources, and chemistry of hazardous substances Chapter 22 addresses the reduction, treatment, and disposal of hazardous wastes within a framework of the practice of industrial ecology Aspects of the biosphere are covered in several parts of the book Chapter 10 provides a basic understanding of biochemistry as it relates to environmental chemistry The influence of organisms on the hydrosphere is discussed in Chapters 11–13 Chapter 23 deals specifically with toxicological chemistry Chapter 24 covers resources, both renewable and nonrenewable, as well as energy from fossil and renewable sources The last two chapters outline analytical chemistry Chapter 25 presents the major concepts and techniques of analytical chemistry Chapter 26 discusses specific aspects of environmental chemical analysis, including water, air, and solid-waste analysis, as well as the analysis of xenobiotic species in biological systems The author welcomes comments and questions from readers He can be reached by e-mail at
