Applied chemistry is the discipline that relies on the processes of pure chemistry to solve problems of the different areas. In recent times, this discipline has gained special relevance in the areas of chemical technology, engineering and pharmacy. Other fields of study include organic synthesis, surfactants, formulation of pesticides, catalysts, interfaces and sleep chemistry. For its part, pure chemistry is the science that deals with the organic and inorganic matter of the universe and the changes that this matter undergoes. It is often called the central science.
