EXPLAINING CPAC:
In order to achieve a pass, students will need to have met the following expectations.
Students will be expected to develop these competencies through the acquisition of the technical skills specified in Appendix 5 of the DfE subject content for each science subject Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Students can demonstrate these competencies in any practical activity undertaken throughout the course of study. The 12 practical activities prescribed in the subject specification, which cover the requirements of Appendix 5c, will provide opportunities for demonstrating competence in all the skills identified together with the use of apparatus and practical techniques for each subject.
Students may work in groups but must be able to demonstrate and record independent evidence of their competency. This must include evidence of independent application of investigative approaches and methods to practical work.
Teachers who award a pass to their students need to be confident that the student consistently and routinely exhibits the competencies listed below before completion of the A level course.

To understand how to work out moles at equilibrium
To calculate Kc after calculating moles
To know how to use Kc to work out the composition of an equilibrium mixture
To know how to use Kc to calculate the amount of reactant needed
LESSON 5:
Objectives:
To predict the effect, if any, of the changes in conditions on the value of Kc
To predict qualitatively how the value of Kc will change, if at all, as the position of an equilibrium moves as conditions are changed

TOPIC 3 Chemical changes PAPER 1- NEW for SEPTEMBER 2017
Learning objectives:
To compare methods of preparing soluble salts
To be able to prepare a soluble salt from an acid and a soluble reactant (alkali)
To consolidate learning with questions
All extension questions available on each slide
Answers all underneath each slide
Support also available where necessary
AfL sections and mini quizzes
Reducing the need for photocopying
Main topics include:
- What happens to the ions from acids and alkalis during neutralisation
- What is a titration
- How do we make a soluble salt using titration
