Need Chemistry IA Topics!!!

[georgiabronson]

I currently have an idea for my chemistry IA, but I can't find any previous lab work done on this specific topic. My topic is:

 

What are the effects of the rate of reaction of sodium bicarbonate when combined with different pH levels of acids

OR

To what extent is the amount of CO2 collected from a sodium bicarbonate reaction affected when combined with different pH levels of acidity. 

 

Which topic should I pick or should I just scrap what I have and find another experiment.

Not being able to find a previous lab work with your specific topic isn't necessarily a bad thing, and could even be seen as a plus.

I'd personally opt for the first formulation because that's how I learned it in my school (type "What is the effect of x on y?"). You could also try making a mix of the two, taking the first one as a base and adding the "amount of CO2 collected".

Good luck.

There are plenty of IA examples on the official IB website.
