Question

which correctly links the branch of chemistry with a sample application? a) inorganic chemistry—developing new types of paints and plastics. b) organic chemistry—developing new plastics and medicines. c) industrial chemistry—studying how quickly chemical reactions occur. d) analytical chemistry—studying how the body breaks down and uses nutrients.

Explanation:

Organic chemistry deals with carbon - containing compounds, and plastics and many materials are made of organic compounds. Inorganic chemistry focuses on non - carbon compounds. Industrial chemistry is about large - scale chemical processes in industry. Analytical chemistry is concerned with the separation, identification, and quantification of matter. The study of how the body breaks down and uses nutrients is related to biochemistry rather than analytical chemistry. The study of the rate of chemical reactions is related to chemical kinetics, not industrial chemistry. Developing new types of paints and plastics is more related to organic chemistry.

Answer:

B. Organic chemistry—developing new plastics and materials
