From reading your posts, it seems as though you're asking for an explanation of why chemical reactions give rise to products.
More precisely, how the transformations in chemical reactions lead to products that may be reactants for the same reaction or for other reactions occurring at the same time that are coupled to it. Coupled reactions are among what goes on inside living cells.
Even in scherado's limited little world, "transformation" has a referent, like the transformation of a pre-biotic world to a biosphere by means of the transformations achieved by chemical reactions. We will be deemed by scherado to have failed simply because we have not presented steps that scherado can understand, but he may not adopt a naturalistic perspective until you can. I say, excuse him from class, but this may involve kicking him off the forum, unless he just wants to get into the social threads and leave science to the grown-ups.
