Pure chemistry, applied chemistry, or both?
I'm trying to figure out if these actions would be pure chemistry, applied chemistry, or both pure and applied chemistry.
1. Determining how much energy is released when iron forms rust.
2. Determining how the size of silver grains on photographic film affects the resolution of the finished print.
3. Isolating a chemical compound from the leaves of a newly discovered tropical plant.
4. Developing a method of purifying the polluted well water in a small town.
5. Determining what elements exist on a distant star.
Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Pure chemistry ... facts and theories... purely scientific relations, without reference to practical applications.
Applied (practical) ... products of chemistry ... their applications to economical purposes, and ... their best use.

In more general terms: Basic (Pure) research: the primary objective is the advancement of knowledge and the theoretical understanding of the relations among variables ... It is conducted without any practical end in mind ...
Applied research is everything else, i.e. built on basic research with a practical end in mind ...
------------------------------...
From your list, I would say that
1, 3, and 5 are Pure chemistry.
2 and 4 are Applied (practical) chemistry.
