Baird's demonstration

Baird's demonstration shows that by carefully controlling the environment around a reaction, you can make a chemical temperature change both faster and more noticeable. In his experiment, he used a special setup with two liquids—one that heats quickly and another that keeps heat in. When mixed, the setup helps the reaction occur efficiently, producing a rapid temperature rise. This illustrates how managing factors like heat flow and reaction conditions can optimize chemical processes, providing insight into how chemical reactions can be controlled for better performance.
