Talk:Chemical synthesis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Er, this page is about Louis Pasteur, not chemical synthesis. Anyone with chemistry knowledge want to have a go at this? -- April

Uhm. I can't agree that all chemical syntheses are a consequence of direct chemical combination. Otherwise, you put yourself in trouble when you synthesize caramel from sugar. All it requires is a carefully controlled heat source. Dwmyers 21:36, 15 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Good point. Also, take for instance the thermal decomposition of Calcium carbonate to Calcium oxide and Carbon dioxide. Another problem with the page is that it claims that a metal chloride reacts with Oxygen to form... that metal chloride again. Doesn't it seem like we aren't getting anywhere?
