A chemical reaction takes place when a new product is created out of two different products. In science projects there is always an action to be done to get a reaction. This may be most vividly brought out by chemistry based science experiments as the reaction is often fast and furious allowing you to see changes in an instant.

Here are a few chemical reactions which you can conduct safely at home. Add some digestive salts to a glass and pour some water into it. You will see the hissing and foaming as the salts react with the water to produce a new fluid which will help you digest your meal. You have to drink it fast of it will lose the effervescence which help the digestive process.

Or you can use an iron nail and some vinegar to produce hydrogen bubbles. Pour in about 2 inches worth of vinegar in a test tube or a plastic cup. Now use a sandpaper on an iron nail and rub it well. Place the nail in the glass in the vinegar and observe. You will see bubbles coming up in the vinegar these are actually hydrogen bubbles.

Try out this edible science experiment. Oh Yes it is possible to use science with food. In fact almost all recipes involve chemical reactions in which two or more ingredients react together to form a different end product which you eat. Chemical reactions are a daily part of your life. All you need to do is look for them.
