Work, by definition, is a force through a distance. If you put Drano(R) into your clogged sink drain, it will react with the grease and protein in the clog to produce heat. The heat will circulate the water creating an upward force as the hot water moves higher in the pipe and forces more Drano(R) downward. In that respect, yes it did perform work.

If it will actually heat up enough to melt the bacon grease or to digest the protein in the hair that you've clogged your pipe with is another story, one that you will have to explore on your own.
