Chemistry in the Kitchen
Did you ever laugh at the Chemistry lab being blown up by Archie? Did you sympathize with Professor Flutesnoot? Did you ever think that you could do the same science experiments in your kitchen?
Now hold on and pay attention. I don’t want you to go blowing up the kitchen at home and saying it was my idea. However I do want you to understand that you can do a whole lot of chemical reactions in the kitchen.
Think of the kitchen as a place where you have acids available to you without adult supervision. Citric acid for instance, is present in the lemon you cut to make your lemonade. Add rock salt and the lemonade turns pink because of the chemical reaction that takes place.
Another highly reactive substance lying around in a kitchen is Baking Soda. You mom makes use of it to make the cakes she bakes light and fluffy. Ever wonder about the chemical reaction behind that which helps trap air in the cake batter?
