  1. For Your Research

  2. The Four Research Questions • What is the chemistry (including an equation) of the process? • What are the factors that impact on the reaction rate of this process? • Why would you want to control the reaction rate of the process? • Which of these factors can be manipulated to achieve the desired result?

  3. How to Approach Question 1 • Example Topic: The Treatment of Indigestion (Heartburn). • What is the chemistry (including an equation) of the process?

  4. First Step • I Googled ‘indigestion antacid chemical reaction’. • And selected the BBC Bitesize website, at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/chemical_material_behaviour/acids_bases_metals/revise5.shtml

  5. Search Results • I found that an excess of hydrochloric acid in your stomach causes indigestion. • Antacid tablets contain magnesium hydroxide or magnesium carbonate: pick one. • When carbonates react to neutralize acid, a salt plus water plus carbon dioxide is produced. • A general word equation is: acid + metal carbonate salt + water + carbon dioxide

  6. Next • Write a word equation: Hydrochloric acid + magnesium carbonate carbon dioxide + water + salt • Write the chemical equation: HCl + MgCO3 CO2 + H2O + MgCl • Balance it: 2HCl + MgCO3 CO2 + H2O + MgCl2
