chemistry reaction in daily life

Chemistry happens in the world around you, not just in a lab. Matter interacts to form new products through a process called a chemical reaction or chemical change. Every time you cook or clean, it's chemistry in action. Your body lives and grows thanks to chemical reactions. There are reactions when you take medications, light a match, and take a breath. Here's a look at 8 chemical reactions in everyday life. It's only a small sampling since you see and experience hundreds of thousands of reactions each day.

1.Photosynthesis Is a Reaction To Make Food
Plants apply a chemical reaction called photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into food (glucose) and oxygen. It's one of the most common everyday chemical reactions and also one of the most important since this is how plants produce food for themselves and animals and convert carbon dioxide into oxygen.

2.respiration Is a Reaction With Oxygen
Aerobic Cellular Re Aerobic cellular respiration is the opposite process of photosynthesis in that energy molecules are combined with ​the oxygen we breathe to release energy needed by our cells plus carbon dioxide and water. Energy used by cells is chemical energy in the form of ATP.
Here is the overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (36 ATPs)

3.Combustion Is a Type of Chemical Reaction

Every time you strike a match, burn a candle, build a fire, or light a grill, you see the combustion reaction. Combustion combines energetic molecules with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
For example, the combustion reaction of propane, found in gas grills and some fireplaces, is:
C3H8 + 5O2 → 4H2O + 3CO2 + energy
       

4.Rust Is a Common Chemical Reaction

Over time, iron develops a red, flaky coating called rust. This is an example of an oxidation reaction. Other everyday examples include formation of verdigris on copper and tarnishing of silver.
Here is the chemical equation for the rusting of iron:
Fe + O2 + H2O → Fe2O3. XH2O
           

5.Mixing Chemicals Causes Chemical Reactions

Baking Powder and baking soda perform similar functions during baking, but they react differently with the other ingredients so you can't always substitute one for the other.
If you combine vinegar and baking soda for a chemical volcano or milk with baking powder in a recipe you experience a double displacement or metathesis reaction (plus some others). The ingredients recombine to produce carbon dioxide gas and water. The carbon dioxide forms bubbles in the volcano and helps baked goods rise.
These reactions seem simple in practice but often consist of multiple steps. Here is the overall chemical equation for the reaction between baking soda and vinegar:
HC2H3O2(aq) + NaHCO3(aq)  → NaC2H3O2(aq) + H2O() + CO2(g)                                

6.Batteries Are Examples of Electrochemistry

Batteries use electrochemical or redox reactions to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Spontaneous redox reactions occur in galvanic cells, while nonspontaneous chemical reactions take place in electrolytic cells.

7.Acid-Base Reactions- Everyday Chemical Reaction

Whenever you combine an acid (e.g., vinegar, lemon juice, sulfuric acid, muriatic acid) with a base (e.g., baking soda, soap, ammonia, acetone), you are performing an acid-base reaction. These reactions neutralize the acid and base to yield salt and water.
Sodium chloride is not the only salt that may be formed. For example, here is the chemical equation for an acid-base reaction that produces potassium chloride, a common table salt substitute:
HCl + KOH → KCl + H2O
Soaps and Detergents - Everyday Chemical Reactions

8.Soaps and detergents clean by way of chemical reactions. Soap emulsifies grime, which means oily stains bind to the soap so they can be lifted away with water. Detergents act as surfactants, lowering the surface tension of water so it can interact with oils, isolate them, and rinse them away.
