Calculating Moles & Molar Gas Volume

(0)
This lesson and includes teaching activities to guide students through the mole concept, including applying the molar volume of a gas and the Avogadro constant. Starting activity estimating grains of sand on a beach provides a great opportunity to discuss the magnitude of the Avogadro constant. A nice visual way to relate this in class is to have 1 mol of charcoal powder or NaCl measured out for students to see. Some IB MCQ questions and answers also provided on the final slides as examples.

Activation Energy of UV Beads

(0)
This presentation and student practical sheet introduces the Arrhenius Equation and how it can be modified to determine activation energy (Ea) for a simple experiment using UV beads. The advantage of this task is it is far more straightforward for students to complete compared to more complex class practicals such as the reaction between bromate and bromide ions or the iodine clock reaction. There is also much less prep and tidying! This activity includes a spreadsheet of sample data and calculation which can be shared with students.
