First, almost all chemistry for profit requires at least a college chemistry education (so you don't kill yourself) second, your largest problem will be having people buy the products you react.

a simple, moderately safe and occasinaly profitable reactions is as follows:

put 300ml of sulfuric acid in a 400ml beaker. (concentration of acid only effects time)

DO THIS OUTSIDE FROM THIS POINT

carefully insert pennies dated from the year 1981 or earlier into the acid filling the solution to around the 400ml mark.

the solution will turn blue and the pennies will dissolve

at this point, you have a very contaminated solution of cupric sulfide. now you need to let the acid evaporate naturally, or using heat. if the slow method is used, you get some cool blue toxic crystals.

Now, the part that people pay for, take some common small metal object and attach the cathode (-) of a DC power supply and submerge slightly in the cupric sulfide solution.

take a piece of stainless steel screen, connect it to the anode (+) of the power supply platinum coated nickel wire, or other conductor, and place it at the bottom of the beaker

If you don't have any sulfuric acid lying around, check the hardware store for "battery acid" its the same exact thing

How is energy involved in a chemical reaction?

Activation energy is needed to start a chemical reaction. This energy is used to join the reactants together or break them apart. If a reaction is exothermic then it gives energy out. If it is endo thermic then the reaction takes energy in.


Is a dry cell used in a flashlight an example of mechanical energy?

No, a dry cell used in a flashlight is an example of chemical energy, not mechanical energy. The chemical reactions in the battery produce electrical energy that powers the flashlight.


What function do the cholroplast have?

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll molecules which absorb the sun's energy and convert it to chemical energy which can be used to fuel chemical reactions in the cell.


What transfers chemical into electrical energy?

A battery is an example of a device that transfers chemical energy into electrical energy. Inside a battery, chemical reactions convert stored energy into electrical energy, which can then be used to power electronic devices.


What is the relationship between the light and dark reactions in photosynthesis and how do they work together to convert light energy into chemical energy?

The light reactions and dark reactions in photosynthesis are two stages that work together to convert light energy into chemical energy. In the light reactions, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in the chloroplasts, leading to the production of ATP and NADPH. These molecules are then used in the dark reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Overall, the light reactions provide the energy needed for the dark reactions to occur and for the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
