Feast of Change
Alchemy is the art of transformation—a grand feast in which nature’s own recipes turn humble ingredients into explosive miracles. In this quest, behold the dramatic reactions that unfold when elements and compounds combine: the froth of baking soda meeting vinegar, the fiery blaze of combustion, the slow decay of rust, and the brilliant spectacle of fireworks lighting up the night sky. Each chemical change reveals the secret language of the elements.
