I need to do this for a school project and well I need to bring in eg of them in a product that is in a normal household.

Well these are the ones I can find out:

-A product demonstrating an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction
-A polymer of vinyl chloride
-An acid/base indicator
-Something with a metalloid in it
-A substance with a density less than 1.0 g/mL

Can I also add something...

I need the definition of an acid.

And BTW, an acid/base indicator is the leftover water from when you've boiled red cabbage.

-A product demonstrating an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction
a piece of oxidated iron or something

-A polymer of vinyl chloride
just something made out of PVC, some kind of tube

-An acid/base indicator
i don't know how you call this but it is some kind of cabbage but red, you cook it and the juice is an acid base indicator

-Something with a metalloid in it
silicon

-A substance with a density less than 1.0 g/mL
maybe styrofoam

Lets see now... try taking some kind of WD40 or something, that gets rid of rust on iron.
Vinyl chloride I can't think of anything
A substance with a lower density than water (1.0g/ml): alcohol, petrol or paint thinners etc.

You need to find these in a kitchen?
-baking soda and vinegar(pretty sure that counts)
-answered
-answered
-anything with computer chips in it
-air

impress your teacher/professor by memorizing this:

Namgal Sipsclar K-Casc Tiv Crmn Feconi

that is:

Sodium (NA)
Magnesium (MG)
Aluminum (AL)
Silicon (SI)
Phosphorus (P)
Sulfur (S)
Chlorine (CL)
Argon (AR)
Potassium (K)
Calcium (CA)
Scandium (SC)
Titanium (TI)
Vanadium (V)
Chromium (CR)
Manganese (MN)
Iron (FE)
Cobalt (CO)
Nickel (NI)


hehe. it's been 10 years since my chem 101 class with Bassam Z. Shakashiri (awesome prof), and i still remember that memorization/recall device.

1) Laundry bleach and a stained piece of cloth. The bleach oxidizes the stain to colorless compounds and is reduced.

2) A record, a piece of vinyl clothing, an inflatable swimming pool toy

3) red cabbage or hydrangea petals

4) a silicon chip

5) cooking oil

Perhaps. Perhaps not. But within a single Twinkie lies the entire Chemistry knowledge of all mankind. :)

You should think about that question to yourself plus all those "Household" things are kinda no brainers
