Open Question: Help with picking a topic for a chemistry project?
I have to do a chemistry project on anything related to gases (right now, we're studying the gas laws), and I'm not sure what topic to pick. We have a set list of sample topics, but if I pick those, then I not only miss out on creativity points, but I also lose the chance for extra credit points, something that I really need. The sample topics include: the combustion of gasoline in the carburetor, the inflation of the air bags, stoichiometry in pharmaceutical gases, and turning harmful exhaust gases to harmless gases. However, these are only the sample topics. For whatever topic I pick, I have to explain how it works and the chemical reaction involved. Thank you!

Open Question: How do I take fish antibiotics?
I have been very sick with strep and sinus symptoms, for over a week, but I can't afford to go to the doctor. I read on the net that people can safely take fish antibiotics. I bought Aquarium Pharmaceuticals T.C. Tetracycline, from the fish store, just now (although it states CLEARLY on the box: Not for human consumption). It says each packet contains 500 mgs? I don't know how much to take. Can anyone help? Thank you
