A milk and vinegar chemical reaction






Chemistry is such fun. Today we mixed vinegar and warm milk. Normally the protein molecules in the milk float around without joining together. When you add vinegar the protein molecules (casein) suddenly attract one another and form clumps. We washed away all the whey and formed the casein into shapes. We're wondering what will happen now.

I was wondering what on earth was going to happen. I was surprised at the end.
