Dumbstruck Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Just wondering if the synthesis of anything is an IA or a regular lab activity. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 We did this last year (for the previous 2009 First examinations syllabus). A long but informational lab featuring lots of techniques. If you are doing this you need a research/topic question, not just "i am going to synthesize aspirin" Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kynast Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm not a chemistry student, but if you can attach a fancy research question then it sounds okay. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 It can't be based on the synthesis of aspirin. You can synthesize it, but can you twist a little so that you can investigate a variable/factor that you manipulated that may affect the synthesis? You need manipulated and controlled variables.
