Hi I am new here and am currently required to do a chemistry experiment in sch where I should be able to write a 4000 word essay on thereafter. I thought of a few topics but after researching, found that the experiments were not feasible and would like to ask if anyone has any ideas on what I could do? Help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

It's a fascinating subject!

Hey was thinking of doing something related to antioxidants so do you have any idea what a cheap and efficient method would be to find the amounts of antioxidants?

Just ingested some with red wine. Feels good! You can try, certainly, if your age permits; otherwise take vitamin C. It's available in tablets from pharmacies. Vitamin C or Ascorbic acid is known to quench radicals.
