    Even though each cup was filled to the line with HCl, there could still be some variance in how much was actually in each and if it was equal all around. Also, although the pH of the acid is one or lower, it may not be exactly the same as a human stomach. The acid also was probably slightly colder than a real human stomach, and that could have changed the rate that each pill dissolved. Another possible error could be that in a human body, some of the pill may start breaking down as soon as it enters the mouth and goes down the esophagus. This may cause the pill to be smaller when it hits the stomach, therefore making it dissolve faster.…

    Ever since I was young, I have always been intrigued by the role of medication in curing or alleviating symptoms of pain in a relatively short amount of time. My fascination began slowly after I noticed that whenever members of my family were feeling unwell, they would usually ingest a pill to relieve them of their ailment. At that time, all I knew about these capsules were that they were not meant for kids and that they could not be taken as a daily supplement. Thus, I found myself wondering why people only took pills when they were feeling poorly and not when they were feeling under a normal state. After being unable to answer my own question, I turned to my mother to provide me with an explanation about how taking a certain kind of drug could help cure instances of discomfort.…
