KS5 Acids and Bases, Redox and Organic Chemistry Schemes of Work
These 16 PowerPoints were planned as part of the IB scheme of work on Acids and Bases, Redox Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, and cover the necessary content for both the Standard and Higher Level topics. They would also be suitable for other post-16 courses.
Included are fully completed PowerPoints, student versions of the PowerPoints with sections to complete independently and some exam style questions.
Topics included are:
\- What are acids and bases?
\- Bronsted Lowry acids and bases (and conjugate acids and bases)
\- Amphiprotic and amphoteric substances
\- Lewis acids and bases
\- Reactions of acids with metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates and metal hydrogencarbonates, bases and alkalis
\- Making salts
\- What is pH and how to calculate the pH of both acids and bases
\- Using the dissociation constant of water to calculate pH
\- Acid deposition - how it occurs and how it can be treated
\- Calculations involving Ka, pKa, Kb, pKb, pH and pOH
\- Using the relationships Kw = Ka x Kb and pKa + pKb = pKw
\- Titration curves for titrations involving any combination of strong and weak acids and bases
\- Indicators - how to select a suitable indicator for a titration
\- How to calculate the pH of salt solutions
\- Buffers - what are they, how are they made and how do they work (including calculations)
