Analytical chemists will use different types of analysis to identify chemical compounds and their properties. Some tests they may use to conduct this analysis include calorimetry, spectroscopy and chromatography. This type of workis used in a wide variety of industries such as mining and metal production industries.
Environmental
Environmental chemists investigate chemical phenomena in nature and the human effects on these. They use many of the same tests as analytical chemists to accomplish this. This type of work is often used in conjunction with environmental engineers.
Cereal
Cereal chemists study wheat and grains. Their work is very varied – some analyse the biochemistry of wheat and grain while others focus on improving and maintaining crop yields. This type of work is used in the agricultural industry.
Inorganic
Inorganic chemists research the behaviour and properties of inorganic compounds. They often use thermodynamic principles to determine the properties of these compounds. This type of chemistry is applicable to almost all other types of chemistry.
Material
Material chemists focus on synthesising and designing new materials. The often study the organisation of molecules in order to do this. This type of work has many applications such as cosmetics, drug delivery and electronic materials.
Many research teams will involve different types of chemists working together. This is because each scientist will have their own knowledge and skill set; some will be specialised in a certain type of chemistry, have expertise in certain machinery, or past experience that is pertinent to the experiment being undertaken.
Therefore, through collaboration, the team as a whole gains a wider base of knowledge.

...The steps of this experiment have been ordered with this in mind.
Measuring the pH and the turbidity are both quick, non-destructive tests, therefore they are performed first. The TDS and the DO can be measured destructively or non-destructively, however in this experiment they are measured through non-destructive methods.
Once the non-destructive tests are completed, the only destructive test with a time limit is the test for BOD; it is preferable performed within 2 hours of the sample being collected and must be performed within 24 hours of collection. This test also takes the longest amount of time to complete (5 days). Because of this, it is logical to perform the test for BOD next.
The tests for heavy metals and hardness are both destructive, though neither have a time limit that must be adhered to. Therefore, they are the last tests to be completed.
In life and society as most of you know, chemistry is involved in everything in this entire world including; animals, plants, and even food! Although most people don’t like chemistry due to all the equations and “Stoichiometry”, it plays a significant role in everyday life. Thanks to many scientists in the past, we can now use the knowledge of their theories and postulates to find new technology and other scientific advancements to help the evolvement of many organisms in this world.
Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to have the ability to observe what occurs during a chemical reaction, as well as being able to write the correct balanced equation for each reaction. While using stoichiometry concepts to also identify the four varying types of common chemical reactions. The four common chemical reactions include synthesis, which when two chemical components unite and become one component. Decomposition, one component becomes divided and
Chemists are the specialists in chemistry, that interact with chemical properties, and reactions. The earth is made up of different gases. Some of this gases are needed for life in the planet but other gases can be harmful to the living. Gas’s use in regular quantities are favorable to the earth. The world started to become more advance and had to use more of this gases to produce everyday objects and inventions by men. Little did we knew this chemicals we going to affect us in our life. Chemist Jose Mario Molina actually discovered that chlorofluorocarbons were affecting the ozone layer.
Chemical reaction can be a building blocks of chemistry such as atom, ions, molecules, and electrons. Thing we studied last week in week 3. It is important to healthcare professionals, because our bodies are made from chemicals, where all matters do matter, because chemistry are made of just about everything in our lives. Especially in our healthcare field environment we have labs, pharmacy, plants, and Industry plants in chemistry. These are some example we use of the three chemical

Chemistry has to do with everything. This is important, because everything revolves around Chemistry. Everything revolves around chemistry, because if you combine two things, not knowing its properties, there could be a reaction. To know what the substances are that you are combining; you need to use an indicator on the pH scale. You need to test this this way, because some chemicals or substance can be harmful towards yourself.
Chemistry is a unique thing to learn and do. Even though you have to be cautious and use exact measurements for different substances it is still fun. You can mix different substances and elements together to make a new mixture. Trial and error is often a big factor in chemistry due to the measurements needed. Failure is in chemistry a lot, but when you succeed you feel like you have learned something new.
Water pollution is always one of the major concerns for environmental engineering. Toxic water sources can be a critical problem, it will endanger some species or even the whole eco-system. Also, it might cause various problem of human's health. Water pollution can be caused by different reasons such as acid rain, runoff of fertilizer, industrial wastes etc. Treatment of water is necessary to prevent such pollutants. Engineers have several ways to measure the quality of water
Chemistry in Astronomy: Although it may not seem like there is much use of chemistry in the world of astronomy, knowing that everything is made of the elements in one form or another, astronomy must have some use of chemicals, and surprisingly there are many. For starters what powers the International Space Station? Solar panels, and many of them. The solar panels found on the space station are made of silicon, a direct element from the periodic table, as well as phosphorus, another element. Through bonding and breaking apart these elements, the solar panels are able to harness the sun’s energy, transport it, and then with the help of a generator, create electricity that can be used by the space station operators.
Every element is valuable and unique due to the endless arrangements of sub-atomic particles, which fascinates me. This allows for a diversity of elemental properties, sparking innovation for chemists to develop new products from different tasting chocolates to materials used for rockets- shaping society and the environment of the modern world. The sheer range of applications where chemistry is involved inspires me to contribute, while learning, unlocking why everything behaves the way it does.
Biochemists are scientists who study the chemistry relating to, biological organisms. It forms a bridge between biology and chemistry by studying how complex chemical reactions and chemical structures give rise to life and life's processes. Their work includes studying the complex chemical combinations and reactions involved in metabolism, reproduction, growth, and heredity. Biochemistry is sometimes viewed as a hybrid branch of organic chemistry which specializes in the chemical processes and chemical transformations that take place inside of living organisms, yet the reality of the situation is that the investigation of natural chemistry ought to for the most part be viewed as none, of these completely “biology” nor completely "chemistry" in nature. Organic chemistry fuses everything in size between an atom and a cell and all the connections between them. The point of organic chemists is to portray in sub-atomic terms the structures, instruments and synthetic courses of action imparted by all creatures, giving sorting out standards that underlie life in all its diverse forms. All life forms alive today are generally believed to have descended from a single proto-biotic precursor, which could clarify why all known living things characteristically have comparative biochemistries (InnerBody. N.p., n.d.).
Though many people fail to realize it, chemistry is a subject essential to everyday life, due to the fact that it is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. But what we must understand is that everything in the universe is composed of matter, hence chemistry is necessary in learning more about the world and universe that we live in. There are many careers and fields affiliated with chemistry that people pursue to learn more about the composition of the universe, but for now, let us examine the logistics of three of these careers. These three careers involving chemistry are geochemistry, environmental chemistry, and chemical engineering.
Having a degree in chemistry opens the door to a wide array of careers. These jobs include chemical engineer, analytical chemist, and pharmacologist. The job that has me most interested is a Chemical Engineer. These top of the line engineers turn raw materials into useful products. They can make petrochemicals,
Chemical engineering, a prominent and growing career, requires a detailed understanding of the how and why chemical processes work and also how they can be further improved. To develop new improvised methods for these processes to function more useful and economical, a chemical engineer uses theories and laws of chemistry. They are, however, often referred to as the "universal engineer" because they must not only have a broad knowledge of chemistry and physics but also of mechanical and electrical engineering.
My main aim during my undergraduate studies was to get an overview of the various fields in chemical engineering and identify a field of interest in which I could pursue my research career. Because of their vast applications, Materials & Polymer Sciences, in general, have attracted m...
