Answer to Question #246256 in General Chemistry for Jess

Question

Find the difference between the pure Chemistry course with the Chemistry for Engineers. Find the applicability of this subject to computer engineering course

Answer 1

Pure chemistry course mainly involves Pure chemistry which is a branch of science focused on conducting basic research for personal knowledge gain. It is often called the theoretical branch of chemistry. A curiosity about why something happens and investigating that issue is the basis for pure chemistry while Chemistry for engineers is applied in the field of chemical engineering which is a multi-disciplinary branch of engineering that combines natural and experimental sciences (such as chemistry and physics), along with life sciences (such as biology, microbiology and biochemistry) plus mathematics and economics to design, develop, produce, transform, transport, operate and manage the industrial processes that turn raw materials into valuable products.

Computational chemistry is a branch of chemistry applied in computer engineering that uses the results of theoretical chemistry incorporated into efficient computer programs to calculate the structures and properties of molecules and solids, applying these programs to real chemical problems.
