Antacid Back Titrations
« on: September 01, 2018, 01:35:44 AM »
Hi!
I'm currently completing a grade 11 chemistry EEI and have found some troubles with the results I have achieved. The point of this EEI is to test the effects of temperature on three antacid tablets: Quick-Eze, Mylanta and Gaviscon.

1. The results showed very little difference in effectiveness of Mylanta and Gaviscon at both room and 50 degrees. Any suggestions why?

2. The Quick=Eze proved to be extremely effective when kept at 50 degrees for 2 weeks and also turned yellow! Please help, I cannot understand why!

Sorry, it will be a bit harsh, but your question is painfully unclear.

You need to tell us a bit more about your procedure. What have you measured? How? Also, measuring at room temperature and at 50 degrees (what degrees? C? F? K? R? I guess you mean °C, but you should state it unambiguously) is quite different than measuring _after_ keeping something for two weeks at 50 degrees. As we have no idea what you did, how can we help?

How do the antacib tables work? What is their composition? Why do you expect them to work differently at room temperature and at 50 degrees?
