A chemist is a scientist trained in the science of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties such as density, acidity, size and shape. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties.

Chemists use this knowledge to learn the composition, and properties of unfamiliar substances, as well as to reproduce and synthesize large quantities of useful naturally occurring substances and create new artificial substances and useful processes. Chemists may specialize in any number of subdisciplines of chemistry. Materials scientists and metallurgists share much of the same education and skills with chemists. Chemical engineers are concerned with the physical processes necessary to carry out industrial reactions (heating, cooling, mixing, diffusion etc) and to separate and purify the products, and work with industrial chemists on the development of new processes.

What is the difference between a Chemist and a Chemical Engineer?
Q. Also what does a chemist do?
Asked by Peanuts Suck - Wed Aug 9 20:49:54 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A chemist works in a laboratory. Various jobs that a chemist can have include quantitative analysis (running high pressure liquid chromatography tests, gas or mass spectrometer tests) organic (usually working with water, like at an electric company and they do tests for water quality), or trying out new formulations for plastics, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals, including oil. A chemist works on a bench or pilot plant (very small scale). A chemical engineer works at a manufacturing plant. The new formulations that the chemist creates will need an engineer's knowledge to manufacture them on a large scale. For instance, a distillation column in a lab will be 6 inches, but a distillation column at a refinery is over 100 feet long.

Can you help me find an Alchemist or a Chemist?
Q. I'm doing an important project, and need an alchemist or chemist that I can get lots of information on. If they made an impact on history somehow, that would be great. Links to biographies and such are appreciated. To the person who said I want someone to do my work, I'm not. I'm doing the entire project by myself. The people who I want to do, I've already done. My local library does't have much on the subject of alchemy, and a few other people taking the class have already taken some popular chemists. If I was goingto ask for help, I'd ask my classmates, not come online.
