IB experts!!] Is this a good topic for chemistry extended essay?
If you’re doing a chemistry essay, make sure you have an actual experiment, not just data you’ve gotten off the internet. Although the guidelines say that you can use ‘found’ data in biology and chemistry EEs, the only way you’re actually going to get the marks is if you do an experiment yourself. My teacher, when I was writing the essay(mine was bio/chem based), told me that all the IB trained teacher that she’d talked to had said that the students who didn’t collect their own data did significantly worse overall that those who did. So if you can do some kind of experiment to show the effects of the gum, then it’ll work well.
