Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Label each research topic below as an example of pure chemistry or applied chemistry.
1) developing a fire resistant fabric
2) reducing the active ingredient in a medication to minimize side effects
3) analyzing the compounds found in a soil sample from mars
4) measuring how much water expands upon freezing

Answer 1

Pure chemistry:

• Analyzing the compounds found in a soil sample from Mars

• Measuring how much water expands upon freezing

Applied chemistry:

• Developing a fire-resistant fabric

• Reducing the active ingredient in a medication to minimize side effects

Answer 2

These can be classified as

1) developing a fire resistant fabric : it will involve the application of chemistry as this is not direct chemistry so this will be applied chemistry

2) reducing the active ingredient in a medication to minimize side effects :

This will involve the pure chemistry

3) analyzing the compounds found in a soil sample from mars

This will involve again the analysis part hence it is pure chemistry

4) measuring how much water expands upon freezing

This is application of chemistry , hence applied chemistry
