    Chemistry

    Chemistry For Your Life

    A podcast that helps you understand the fascinating chemistry hidden in your everyday life.

    Have you ever wondered why onions make you cry? Or how soap gets your hands clean? What really is margarine, or why do trees change colors in the fall? Melissa is a chemist, and to answer these questions she started a podcast, called Chemistry for your life!

    In each episode Melissa explains the chemistry behind one of life’s mysteries to Jam, who is definitely not a chemist, but she explains it in a way that is easy to understand, and totally fascinating.

    If you’re someone who loves learning new things, or who wonders about the way the world works, then give us a listen.

    Why does ice float on water? Jul 28, 2022
    Show notes

    #140

    Ice is water right? It's just that it's solid. So why does it float in liquid water? And also why does water expand when it freezes, when typically things contract when they freeze? These are things we are used to observing daily, but they actually are a little strange, and we bet the answer will surprise you.

    Why are sand and water different temperatures at the beach? Jul 07, 2022

    #002

    Many of us have been in a situation where we are near a body of water (lake, ocean, pool etc), and you may have noticed that no matter what the temperature is outside, the water and the land can feel like super different temperatures, like the sand being hot and the ocean being cold. Why is that? Well it's because of something called specific heat, and we're going to talk about it right now.
