household chemistry

[Jessieee]

any investigation on household chemistry which is not that complicated but interesting!?

we 've tried to investigate effect of sugar in milk under heat(millard reaction or whatsoever) , but it's rather difficult to reach the conclusion..

thinking of changing topic now.. but time is limited.. help!

yes, i can think of many, many things you could do at home, some easier than others, some less dangerous than others. what sort of reactions are you thinking of doing? organic? inorganic? what resources do you have available? (ie: chemicals, glassware, etc).

Oh wow. What kind of resources do you need?

you can try sepereting {cloried and soudem} from salt

That's not something that is easily done at ALL at the home. You would need to first melt the salt into a molten state, then be able to supply the current needed to separate the ions and keep them separate. I don't know of many people who have that type of equipment lying around.

blowtorches are easily obtainable. car batteries supply the current

So you just have a spare, fully charged car battery lying around that you're willing to use? And you have the blowtorch there to melt enough of the salt to make it worth the effort? And you have a way to provide an inert blanket over where the sodium is generated so that it doesn't catch fire, yet this inert blanket won't extinguish your blowtorch?

It is incredibly hard to melt salt. Two propane torches on all the way could not melt much more than the surface of some I was trying to melt.

well, i am not doing any experiment at home,

instead, i am going to investigate the chemical principles behind some household stuffs, say for example, detergent...

can u get the difference?!
