Anyone got any interesting ideas for a chmistry investigation?


anything at all you mean?

I've just done an entropy change investigation for opening a can of coke in my Group 4 project if that helps... (the experiment itself was though mostly physics as we had to find the work done but we converted it into entropy and my teacher said it was ok)

How about investigating the percentage of certain metals in coins? This would be fun! You could look at different types of penny from the 70's and analyse copper content and compare this to new pennies to show how ion complexes and oxides form on the older ones as time goes by.

you may dissolve the coins, weighed in conc nitric acid and back titrate to find unreacted then u have the number of moles of copper! im just blabbering now lol,
