    issue
    ii. Discuss and evaluate the various implications of using science and its application to
    solve a specific.
    problem or issue.

    iv. Document the work of others and sources of information used.

    Stoichiometry is one of the most important concepts in chemistry. Just like a chef measures the
    ingredients before preparing a dish, stoichiometry is the science of measuring quantities or mass
    ratios of chemical elements in each chemical reaction. Food preparation is an appropriate analogy to
    understand stoichiometry. For instance, a recipe for making eight pancakes requires a cup of
    pancake mix, some milk, and an egg.

    The basic law that governs the stoichiometry of a given chemical reaction is the Law of conservation
    of mass. Since chemical reactions can neither create nor destroy matter, and it’s not possible to
    transform one element into another, the amount of each element must be the same throughout the
    overall reaction.

    Although it may not seem important, stoichiometry is the heart of the solutions to many real-life
    problems. Let’s look at a few examples of how stoichiometry is being employed in practical life.

    1. Airbags Design

    2. Rocket Propulsion

    3. Pharmaceutical Industry

    4. Green Chemistry

    5. Ecological Stoichiometry

    Task: You are a student of MYP4 who recently studied stoichiometry. Your teacher provided you
    with a few applications of stoichiometry in real life. You need to select anyone from the above and
    research your chosen application. Write a letter to your friend in about 350 words by applying
    scientific language effectively to discuss and evaluate the impacts of the chosen application
    of stoichiometry by you. In your answer you should include:

     Economic and Environmental impact


     Social Impact
     Ethical impact
     Concluding appraisal
    Criteria D (ii), D(iii)

    Dear Siddhant Pandita,

    I have learnt About stoichiometry in recent time, and I wish to discuss how stoichiometry
    is utilized in the creation of airbags. I also wish to discuss the impacts the airbag has on
    the world.

    Economic Impact
    Airbags can help reduce your medical costs as they prevent injuries to the head and your
    brain. This is extremely important as receiving injuries can also reduce your chances of
    ever being able to work again.
    Airbags, due to being an extra safety addition, can cost a large sum of money to install.
    Due to this many first-time car purchasers avoid installing airbags, to keep the cost of
    owning a car low.
    Environmental Impact
    Airbags consist of multiple different gases. However, a few of the chemicals present in
    airbags are dangerous to the environment, those include nitrogen dioxide, carbon
    monoxide, hydrogen cyanide and formaldehyde to name a few. Carbon Monoxide and
    Nitrogen dioxide are considered poisonous.
    The airbag also helps the environment through the fact that if you do get injured, many
    wasteful materials will need to be utilized to treat you.
    Social Impact
    The social impacts of airbags are immense as they can prevent you from exiting society
    for long periods of time, as head injuries can take months to recover from, that’s a long
    period of time where you will simply be unable to be around friends and family. That is a
    harsh mental load for many. Airbags can help prevent that.
    Ethical Impact
    Ethically, Airbags are purely in the right, they are an invention with the singular goal of
    saving people, the only thing unethical about airbags is not adding them to a vehicle.
    However, due to their chemical composition being rather deadly, many may feel
    uncertain of installing them due to possible health risks.

    Conclusion
    Airbags are a positive invention with the goal of saving people, they utilize multiple
    reactions in precalculated proportions to achieve this result, a soft instantaneous cushion
    which helps reduce your kinetic energy as well as to stop your head from hitting the
    dashboard of a car. Though some of the materials in airbags may be poisonous, there is a
    such a small chance that these materials will meet you and the amount of chemicals
    released in total will only be equal to the number of car crashes which has been
    decreasing at a steady pace year over year which is why I believe that airbags are a
    positive invention.

    Thank You for reading my email, reply with an invention of your own another day!

    Goodbye,
    Ashneel
