Question

1. Pick an occupation that you know must use solution chemistry. Describe what that career is and how one gets trained for it. Describe how the chemical principle you have identified is used by the individual in that career. Give some examples.
2. Note: No two people can talk about the exact same occupation for their primary task, so the faster you are at posting your idea the better your chances are at discussing your favorite topic. Please make sure to state clearly your topic in your Subject line so that others know what you are posting about.
3. Create an initial post that explains what you learned about this career and why it would be important to understand the chemical principle you chose (at least 2-3 paragraphs with sources). Finish your post with a references (and proper citations).

Answer 1

There are various occuation that requires a solution chemist but the one that I like the most is of Forensic scientists.

A forensic scientist is the person who investigates crime scenes, collect and analyze unknown evidences found at the crime scenes for the search of truth. In order to become a forensic scientist an individual must have at least a bachelor's degree in forensics.

The chemical principles used by the forensic experts includes:

• Chromatography for identifying and separating unknown liquids found at the spot of investigation.
• Blood sample and fingerprint collection by spraying ferric oxide powder.
• Analyzing the samples using different spectroscopic techniques.

Apart from the above mentioned chemical principles, high mental ability and problem solving skills are the benchmarks required to become a good forensic expert.
