advanced chemistry topics

hi, i have to do a poster on anything related to chemistry, and i was gonna do something super advanced to impress my teacher...

any topics you guys would suggest? (crazy ideas, etc)

 

Do a creative design of the Periodic Table of Elements.

 

as in...like take a cylinder and draw the table of elements around it or something?

 

...Um, what grade are you even in...Chemistry ranges in difficultly depending on what level your studying...

 

Topics-
Thermochemistry.

Why is it super advanced?
It involves physics, and anything physics related is hard pretty much.

Just take 10 minutes to make a poster about how changing the temperature will change the Work and the energy flown in or out of the system. Describe adiabetic (maybe that's how you spell it), isobaric (same pressure), isothermal (same temperature) and more processes will give either a work done on the system or work done by the system, a positive change in internal energy or a negative change in internal energy, and finally either a endothermic change in delta Q or an exothermic change in delta Q.

And since you wanted a hard subject, that's a pretty hard subject because it is highly conceptual and visual. Sometimes people define the work done by the system as negative, which means the work done on the system is positive, or some times people will define the work done by the system as positive and the work done on the system is negative. Choosing the first or the latter will also influence the outcome of delta Q and the internal energy.

 

Build a bomb or something borderline unacceptable but able to pass off as chemistry.

 

^Lol, nah. Get the instructions of how to make crystal meth or heroin of the net. Teacher will love you for that.

 

Another great idea.

 

i'm in 11th grade but it doesn't matter, i would prefer like a college-level topic

 

If you're talking about the whole (thermophysics 1st law) :

Delta U = W + Q
Delta U = Q - W
Delta U = W (or -W = - Delta U)

Then I don't think that would impress any teacher. It's basically all straight forward.

And even if it was about the second law, which is soooo "hard" which is basically Q always go from high to low. (But from low to high with energy).

(Also, wouldn't you consider that "physics"?)
(I know you said thermochemistry, but I've seen the exact same thing in physics).
