Document Summary

Concepts of chemistry and cooking are similar in many ways. For example, both chemists and cooks use similar techniques (measuring, filtering, concentrating and distilling) Example of denaturing: colour of steak chancing from red too brown when being heated (proteins are being denatured) Maillard reaction occurs when you heat food that contains both protein and carbohydrates to form many flavours within a cuisine. (cid:862)fallen cake(cid:863) refers to the breaking of a cake when one runs/jumps near an oven that is baking because the co2 gas is escaping. Chemical reaction: a process in which one or more substance is converted into one or more different ones. Combustion reaction: chemical reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen to form one or more oxygen-containing compound and emits heat. When the chemical equations are not balanced, the reaction violates the law of conservation of mass. Ch4 (g) + o2 (g) co2 (g) + h2o (g) Ch4 (g)+ 2o2(g) co2 (g) + 2h2o (g)
