a. What is the reaction. b. What is the reaction used for? c. Who are the major makers of the chemical? How did they get into making it? d. Who are the major buyers of the chemical? why do they buy it? e. What are the starting materials used for the reaction? Where do they come from? f. If there is waste from the reaction where does it go? g. How does the reaction benefit the planet? h. Is the reaction still ongoing in chemical plants? or was it made illegal? i. What if any where the implications or the problems associated with the production?

Look, there are a ton of questions out there. Just try to think up some good questions and answer them with some research.

Good reactions to try to look up. 1. sulfur trioxide plus water form sulfuric acid 2. hydrocarbons (or olefins) form ethylene (aka ethene, also propylene aka propene) 3. H2 plus O2 form Water 4. H2 plus N2 form NH3 (ammonia) 5. "polyethylene" 6. "polypropylene" 7. formation of biodiesel (soybean oil plus sodium methylate forms biodiesal) 8. formation of sodium hydroxide 9, formation of hydrochloric acid 10. synthesis of ethanol
