What are some examples of common everyday chemical reactions?
Respiration, cooking, heating and magnesium oxide are just a few. More include engines for vehicles (burning of chemicals produce energy) like cars, buses, planes etc., batteries (involves chemical reactions that produce electricity), film (special light sensitive chemicals that makes an image when exposed to light), antacid in tablets and liquids (react with HCL in your stomach to reduce stomach acid), Air Conditioning (function from the reactions of compounds such as freon), toothpaste (sodium fluoride in toothpaste reacts with your mouth to rebuild enamel and control bacteria) and finally cooking on gas (burning chemicals to produce energy.) Chlorine (in pool water keeps bacteria and algae populations under control), Fermentation (to create alcohol from sugars), matches (phosphorus and sulfur ignite with friction) and finally soap and shampoo (has sodium or potassium which clean dirt and oils off your body) AND MANY MORE!!!
