|---|
| I am a secondary 5 (grade 11) high school student attending Collège de Montréal. I am a competitive cross country skier and avid cyclist. I plan to continue working in chemistry, hopefully one day becoming a research chemist at a university. I will continue conducting research for this project during the upcoming summer at Concordia University Chemistry department under the supervision of Dr. Cuccia. The best advice I have to tell students thinking about doing a porject, would be to I advise all students thinking about working on a project to contact local universities. The more specialist you talk to, the better your project will be. |

Findings demonstrate an example of natural homochirality in a structurally chiral substance. Furthermore, Tartaric acid was crystallized for the basis of developing a simple chiral deviator./ Des expérimentations ont été effectuées en laboratoire afin de vérifier la chiralité des cristaux de sulfate de magnésium. Des résultats obtenus démontrent un exemple d’homochiralité. |
