Home Chemistry: Introduction

Aim: To learn the names of 10 household chemicals and identify if they are a solid, liquid or a gas.

Definitions:

1. Element; A single form of a chemical 
2. Compound: A mixture made up of 2 or more elements
3. Reaction: A process in which chemicals mix together to form a new substance.
4. Mixture: When two or more elements are mixed together.

Equipment:

1. Lemon Juice 
2.  Salt 
3.   Sugar
4.   Vinegar
5.   Lemonade Bubbles
6.   Onion Gas
7.   Baking Soda
8.  Milk
9.  Cornflour (Starch)
10. Banana 

Steps:

1. Make Chart
2. Research Chemical Name
3. Search Image
4. Write the Conclusion

Repeat the steps for all the chemicals.

Task 1: Put the 10 chemicals in a chart with the titles - Name, Chemical ingredient(s), Image, Solid/Liquid/Gas.

Name	Chemical	Image	Solid/Liquid/Gas
Lemon Juice	Citric Acid		Liquid
Salt	Sodium Chloride		Solid
Sugar	Copper (ll) Sulfate, Glucose		Solid
Vinegar	Acetic (Ethanoic Acid		Liquid
Lemonade Bubbles	Carbon Dioxide		Gas
Onion Gas	Propanethial S-Oxide		Gas
Baking Soda	Sodium Bicarbonate		Solid
Milk	Magnesium Hydroxide		Liquid
Cornflour	Amylum		Solid
Banana	Isoamyl Acetate		Solid

CONCLUSION: ( WHAT DID YOU LEARN OR SEE)

In this post, I learned that Lemon Juice has Citric Acid in it and it is a liquid chemical. I also learned other things, so Sugar has Glucose and other chemicals in it like Copper ll Sulfate which is a solid, another one was Vinegar it has Acetic Acid/Ethanoic Acid, which was a liquid.  I also learned that Onion has a gas called Propanethial S-oxide in it that makes you cry when you cut it, which is a gas. Two things that both have a solid chemical was a banana and Cornflour/Starch, a banana has Isoamyl Acetate chemical and Cornflour/Starch had Amylum in it. Another one I didn't know about was that milk had Magnesium Hydroxide and it is liquid (of course). The last one I didn't know about was Baking Soda it had Sodium Bicarbonate in it and it is, of course, a solid. Salt has sodium chloride and it is a solid, Lemonade bubbles have carbon dioxide and it is a liquid.
