I am putting together a list of verses in the Bible that detail chemical reactions, in part because of my strong interest in chemistry. These are what I've found so far:
Proverbs 25:20
[As] he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, [and as] vinegar upon nitre, so [is] he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
"Nitre" from the Hebrew word nether is an old word for sodium carbonate, which is commonly used as baking soda.
More to come as I find them.
