Applied Chemistry Examples - How Do I Make Chocolate Frosting?
Applied Chemistry Examples - How Do I Make Chocolate Frosting?What are applied chemistry examples? They are many things, but not the most common answer. Rather than asking what are examples of applied chemistry, ask how does one go about applying chemistry in a classroom setting.Students are curious and sometimes have a vague idea of what an example of applied chemistry is. However, they can get a lot more precise when they learn what kind of steps are needed to get an 'example' of what an example of an applied chemistry course looks like. For example, some students think of making chocolate frosting as an example. However, how do you make frosting from sugar and flour into a more complex product?A student studying molecular science would be very confused if told that chocolate frosting was created with 'sugar and flour.' They would have to find a way to make it look like it was created by simple addition of sugar and flour. How do they accomplish this?A good example would be to take the application of the molecular bond to chocolate frosting and just a little bit of chemistry. Students should learn how to add sugar and flour to create a solution that looks like something that happened in the molecular physics course they took. Then, it's on to molecular weights, all the properties of the molecules that are in this solution, the behavior of these molecules, and the properties of the 'wet' side of the molecular molecule that's the melting part of the chocolate frosting when it's poured.Applied chemists don't just explain this process. They do that as part of the demonstration, that's part of a demonstration of how it's done. They can use one part of the demonstration to describe the whole process as a whole.For example, let's say that the student is creating chocolate frosting and he's added some chocolate powder. Hethen decides to add some water to create some whipped cream. A good example of this would be to show that when the mix gets hot, the molecular bonds on the side that is not exposed melts, while the bonded side stays where it is. A mixture of butter and vanilla extract will give you an example of how the molecular bonds are maintained, while the fat and vanilla side melts.What happens with chocolate frosting when it's whipped up using vanilla extract? The vanilla mixes with the fat and the chocolate melt into a sludge. All that's left is to pour the chocolate sludge into a mold to cure it.It's important for students to understand how applied chemistry examples are related to the classroom as well as the process that's involved in making those demonstrations work. At times, the classroom will provide the example, and at other times, they'll be provided in the form of a demonstration. In some cases, the presentation of an example is given in a way that allows for students to understand all of the basic concepts.
