Hey guys,
I have recently received my first Chemistry assessment task for Year 12. It requires us to use your understanding of dissolution of ionic compounds in water and Le Chatelier’s principle research to remove toxins from native indigenous foods. Although I understand the nature of the task, I'm struggling to find some information on it since it's apart of the new Chemistry syllabus and there is limited resources available.
The topic is 'Indigenous Chemistry'. I'm struggling to:
1) Find a toxic Aboriginal food (except for cycads since we're not allowed to do that)
2) The detoxification process of the food
3) The correlation the food has to solution equilibria, Le Chatelier's principle and dissolution of ionic compounds.
If anyone can provide any sort of information to get the ball rolling for my assessment, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
