weeeman Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well I have always had a fasination chemistry and how it works and believe me I have many many questions that i will be asking. To start with I have been reading through this awsome forum and decided to ask. What is the best reaction/s to do at home? I have limited equiptment so please ber this in mind. Basically I am starting home experiments and would like some fun simple ones to do at home. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewmon Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 As for biological chemistry, ethanol fermentation occurs when yeast digests sugar, and in an oxygen poor environment, is forced to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products of the yeast's anaerobic reactions. It's similar to human biology that produces lactic acid as a by-product of its anaerobic reactions. (Heaven help us if there's space aliens out there who get drunk on lactic acid, but it would make interesting science fiction!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
