1. Introduction
Chemistry is not just a subject in textbooks but a part of everything around us. From the
food we eat to the air we breathe, chemistry plays a crucial role in our lives. This project
explores how chemical principles and products affect our daily routines and contribute to
our well-being.
2. Importance of Chemistry in Daily Life
- It helps us understand the composition and properties of substances.
- Enables innovations in food, medicine, cleaning, and more.
- Improves quality of life through synthetic materials, fuels, etc.
3. Chemistry in the Kitchen
- Cooking: Heat changes the food’s color, taste, and smell because of chemical changes.
- Preservatives: Things like vinegar and salt stop food from going bad.
- Fermentation: Helps make bread, curd, and cheese.
- Acids and Bases: Lemon juice is acidic, baking soda is basic.
4. Chemistry in Personal Care
- Soaps and shampoos: Help clean our body and hair by removing dirt and oil.
