Let's DISCOVER more about CHEMISTRY :D

While you are tired of looking through the articles with bunch of IUPAC name, you can click on the video and have a look :D
Besides that, you can try out experiment too!
It's simple and cost-saving. 
HAVE FUN!


1st Experiment (BOUNCY EGG)
Do You Know Why ? 
Let me explain it !
At first, the eggs with shells was soaking into vinegar, however, the vinegar will do the work of removing the shells it will actually dissolve the eggshell. This happens because vinegar contains an acid called acetic acid which reacts with the high calcium content of the eggshell. The acid caused the shell material to breakdown into two different materials. One is carbon dioxide bubbles that were released into the air. The other material is lime. The lime remains in the solution. Besides, the appearance of the shell changes as a result of this chemical reaction. This is a fairly common process.It happens in nature a lot for example it creating limestone caves.  

2nd Experiment (Milky Magica)



3rd Experiment (Glowing Water)


Try it yourself at home now!
