On one hand, isolating chemicals from stuff like artbeakers could have some sizable balance implications. On the other hand, you can already do it with brainfuck and I've never been partial to mechanics that are balanced through being annoying or difficult to use and the idea of vapor points and stuff like that would give chemistry a lot of character that it is truly, desperately missing. I really like the idea, but implementing it in a way that doesnt enable the worst, most unfun nerds might be tough.
