A Level Chemistry Summer research project. Research activities: Section A Choose one of the two tasks to research. It is recommended that you spend about an hour on this research. You are to summit a hard copy of your research and completed tasks on the first day at college for a chemistry lesson. Use your online searching abilities to see if you can find out as much about the topic as you can. You must provide at least three sources or references for your research. Remember if you are a prospective A level chemist, you should aim to push your knowledge. You can make a 1-page summary for your research. Task 1: The chemistry of fireworks What are the component parts of fireworks? What chemical compounds cause fireworks to explode? What chemical compounds are responsible for the colour of fireworks? The hole in the ozone layer Task 2: Why did we get a hole in the ozone layer? What chemicals were responsible for it? Why were we producing so many of these chemicals? What is the chemistry behind the ozone destruction? Include reaction equations in your answer. Section B Suggested time for task: 1hr 30mins Complete this task in addition to your research work.
