== == A chemist is someone who studies chemicals. They are descended, philosophically from the mediaeval Alchemists who studied chemicals also however they were studying all things, not just chemicals in an attempt to discover the philosopher's stone. The alchemists were also very interested in the philosphical nature of things generally, as well as more esoteric knowlege about God and the Soul.

Simply put the Alchemist studied chemicals and performed experiments to understand himself and God, wheras the Chemist studies Chemicals in order to produce new compounds and understand nature.
