What is the difference between a Chemist and a Chemical Engineer?
Asked by Peanuts Suck
Also what does a chemist do?

A:
Best Answer:
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.
