Why do our eyes tear when we cut onions?
When we cut onions, a chemical is released into the air. This reacts with moisture on the surface of our eyes forming a weak solution of sulphuric acid. The acid induces a stinging sensation. The eyes react by forming tears which further dilute the acid and wash it off. One solution is to chill the onions before slicing them.
