achuso Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 At first I was intending to investigate the effects of vinegar of various kinds on human health, since it is a very open-ended topic I can work with. In accordance to this purpose, I calculated their enthalpy changes of neutralization with 1mol NaOH and conductivity WITHOUT DEALING W/ ANYTHING ON THE PH, following the path of "CH3COONa formed after the reaction affecs the strenght of the acid in X way and therefore changes the blood pH slightly/tremendously in large amounts blah blah blah". I haven't even started and it's due in 2 days lmao so I might add a bit more perspective than just blood. It's safe to procrastinate here, right? However, I'm concerned that it would be a terrible idea to involve Biology in my Chemistry extended essay, as it means it's chemistry AND biology now. Do you think I should keep the topic the way it is, or would it be a better idea to focus on the changes in vinegar properties instead? My EE's due Sunday with only 500 words done, so I'd appreciate any swift response, thank you in advance! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Your EE should be on one subject. In this case, it is chemistry. You can certainly discuss effects of vinegar on various organs, but it is still chemistry. Do not worry about this and just START WRITING Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works I guess, I am intending to go through digestive organs and maintenance of blood pH, all with chemistry aspects. After all, biology is the application of chemistry on organisms for the most part, is it not? Thank you! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 If you only have 500 words with 2 days left, then there are bigger issues than whether biochemistry is chemistry. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not anymore, it is almost 2k actually Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
