Chemical Reactions

Students were focused on learning the difference between chemical reactions and solutions.  They investigated three different chemicals: Citric Acid, Calcium Chloride, and Baking Soda. They were used with water in different combinations to bring on chemical reactions.  The students defined a chemical reaction: when two or more chemicals are mixed together and something new is created.  Ask your child what happens when a chemical reaction is fizzing? Scroll down to find the answer.







ANSWER: The fizzing or bubbling that occurs is caused because the chemical reaction is creating a gas.
