Chemistry or Cake

Good cake, and some tasty chemistry.  The crazy cake demonstration brings us to the next section in our study of chemical bonding and reaction.  Now that we've delved into the alphabet of chemistry, and learned to create chemistry's words, we can finally begin to make sentences.  I am, of course speaking of chemical equations.  The sentences in our language of chemistry.  

Some of your cakes did not turn out like they should.  This is because some of the ingredients and/or amounts were changed.  In the same way, chemical equations/reactions depend on the amounts involved.  For a reaction to go to completion, the equation must be balanced.  Keep this in mind as we begin to create the final piece of our language of chemistry.
