what is the difference between the organic chemistry and analytical chemistry.?

Question

Chemistry

Answer 1

Organic chemistry deals with carbon-based compounds. Organic chemists typically synthesize compounds in a laboratory.

Analytical chemistry is the chemistry of analysis, and may be equally applied to organic and inorganic compounds. A lot of what you will learn in college analytical chemistry will be acid-base calculations, and theory applied to modern analytical techniques (at least that's what I remember).

Analytical chemists typically analyze compounds in a laboratory (to let the organic chemist know that he/she actually made what they thought they did).

Answer 2

Chemistry as a science deals with the background of the topic; it goes into all the aspects of chemistry; inorganic, organic, biochemistry, etc. Chemical engineering is a focus on the design side of chemistry, where, although both majors share similar classes, the engineering is more difficult because you will be learning how to use your knowledge of chemistry and mathematics to engineer polymers, plastics, fertilizers, and much more. If you want to be a scientist and do research in a chemistry field, major in chemistry as a science. If you want to learn about reaction engineering, materials science, transport phenomena; for example the chemistry science behind concrete and such, pick the engineering. Needless to say, there is much more to both fields than what i've said; both are very broad. chemical engineering is known as the "universal engineering" because its applicable to so, so many different fields. type in both majors in google and do some research and i'm sure you'll find which one you want to do. If you hate math then i would stay away from engineering altogether. I hope at least something I said helped. Good luck.

Answer 3

Organic chemistry is the chemistry of predominantly carbon compounds. Analytical chemistry focuses on the identification and evaluation of chemical compounds.

In practical terms, organic chemists make and study compounds made largely from carbon, like natural products, many pharmaceuticals, biopolymers, etc. Analytical chemists study compounds in order to figure out what they are, how pure they are, what their physical and chemical properties are, etc.

Being a synthetic organic chemist is kind of like a cross between being an architect and a chef. Being an analytical chemist is kind of like being a detective. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Organic chemistry is the study of most carbon-based chemicals where analytical chemistry is the use and study of testing equipment and analysis of chemicals.

Answer 5

Organic chemistry typically deals with carbon and its myriad of compounds, like octane, methane, sucrose, glucose, etc. Carbon has 4 attachment points, so it can have many, many compounds.

Analytic chemistry is based more on inorganic compounds and getting very technical in regards to balancing equations, etc. Did you know a solid object weighs less when heated? I didn't before taking F*in analytic chemistry.
