JC Science Chemistry Practical

Alan_007_

My teacher wants us to research the chemistry practicle from the internet for what type of substances to use etc. If anyone could please tell me what theyre using id really appreciate it.
Thanks
PS if you could tell me before friday that would be great.

Researching on the internet is not just asking some one else!

he said to look on places like facebook bebo twitter and sites like them though.theres nothing on them though(i dont know why he expected there to be)

Facebook, Twitter, Bebo?! Your teacher is clearly one of the older people who don't understand the internet and reads these things on the paper.

"Investigating the factors which influences a plants absorbing of water from the soil through the roots."

That's the experiment isn't it? Kinda crap, suprised your teacher is doing. The chemistry and physics one seems nicest. But anyway, that's besides the point. However, it's to do with germination. This is an experiment on the Junior Cert Science course. A very simple Google search brings up reams of results. So stop being lazy!

I didn't think anyone would do the biology one.

sorry i meant the chemistry practicle:o i got confused with the hydrochlauric acid part:o.yes he is off his head.i think he just heard some of the younger teachers talk about them and say to himself"yes theese sites are the apitimy of information :rolleyes:)
if any of the mods could please change the title i would be grateful.
Just to clarify it is the CHEMISTRY practicle.

You can edit the title yourself by clicking on the edit button, and then "Go Advanced" in your original post, unless it's too late for you to edit your OP.

"Investigating the effects of indigestion remedies and comparing them."

That's abit easier. Look up titrations. It's on the JC course, and LC chemistry course. Titration is the mixing of an acid with a base, which neutralise each other to make salt and water. What you need to find out is the acid used in the stomach that causes indigestion (or heartburn), which you've just mentioned in your last post (hydrocholoric acid).

Then find remedies, what neutralises the acidity best? Remember pH on your science course.

Then there's the technical aspects you have to think about, like how much acid will you use? What is your control? What are your variables?

While I'm not trying to do your project for you, I'm trying to get you thinking on the right lines. When you're giving your sources in the project, I'd advise you NOT to link your source as this thread.

Crush up the tab, make a solution, titrate it against HCl (Using methyl orange as an indicator).

Thanks for ye'r help.ill edit it when i get on a computer (im using my mobile now)

Well first of all you should have looked up background about the solutions you would be using for your titration and give another souce other than internet maybe visit your pharmacy and ask them about indigestion remedies and you could use that in your background information
