  1. Role of coal in the development of the Industrial Revolution:
    1. Coal=more efficient fuel. Led to the following two things. Can be better controlled than wood
    2. produces coke when roasted in low oxygen environment
      1. cleaner-burning nearly pure chunk of carbon.
  2. Role of Coal Gas in the development of the Industrial Revolution:
    1. First industrial pollution
    2. Williams Murdoch figures out how to burn it and leads to gas lamps (methane)
  3. Role of Coal Tar in the development of the Industrial Revolution:
    1. First industrial pollution
    2. A bunch of leftover crap after coal burned
      1. A bunch of stuff can be extracted to make stuff like plastic
    3. Can be used to make dyes (aniline dyes)
      1. Beginning of Industrial Chemistry
    4. Who discovered Aniline Dyes? Why is this a crucial part of the history of chemistry?
      1. William Perkins
      2. Beginning of Industrial Chemistry
    5. Identify 4 important chemical products or processes that originated with the desire for more brilliant colors.
      1. Artificial sweetener saccharine
      2. creosote for preserving wood timbers
      3. colors in children's cereals
      4. surgical disinfectants
  4. What role did Bunsen's burner play in chemistry?
    1. More controlled and hotter flame using coal gas
    2. Used to identify chemicals using spectra
  5. What role did s spectral grating play in furthering chemistry?
      1. What does an optical or spectral grating do to light?
        1. It splits the frequencies to show each one.
        2. It is important to identify elements and to identify energy tiers.
