Testing for Anions and Cations

(21)
This is a practical for pupils to carry out tests for anions and cations. The testing for anions and cations booklets have a summary page at the back for pupils to fill in themselves. The flow diagram is useful when carrying out tests on unkown compounds in the lab.

The Electrolysis of Molten and Aqueous Sodium Chloride Summary.

(0)
This is a pupil activity to visualise and summarise the electrolysis of molten and aqueous sodium chloride. The aims are to highlight the key differences between the two processes. The temperatures of each electrolysis are stated to help emphasise one of the differences between the two processes. Sometimes pupils do not appreciate that the molten electrolysis must take place above the melting point of the ionic compound whereas aqueous electrolysis is usually performed at room temperature. The cells as drawn and boxes provided for the ions present in each electrolyte so that again, a visual stimulus is used to show what ions are present in each electrolyte. Arrows are drawn to shown which ions are attracted ti the appropriate electrodes with further arrows to show what products are formed at the anode and cathode for each process. The boxes at the bottom are there so that the pupils can use correct key terms and phrases to explain in words what happens at each electrode, thereby helping to improve their literacy. A teacher version is also provided to provide model answers for this activity. This activity can be completed online or If possible, print this resource onto A3 size paper to allow pupils enough space to write answers clearly.

Electrolysis of Molten Ionic Compounds

(4)
This worksheet is used to help pupils understand what happens during the electrolysis of molten ionic compounds. Pupils label the diagrams so they can see what ions are attracted to the anode and cathode during each electrolysis and hence use that as a starting point to write and balance the half equations that occur at each of the electrodes. Emphasis should also be placed on what is actually oxidised and reduced and what actually is produced as a result of these procedures.

This might be useful for pupils to fill in when demonstrating reactions of alkali metals with oxygen and water. Pupils collect information from observing the demonstrations of the reactions and then use the information to write both word and symbol equations for all reactions.

Titration pack

(0)
This is a titration pack. It is for pupils studying GCSE Chemistry but could also be used for L6th pupils too. It consists of: (a) a blank titration recording sheet (b) a blank titration recording sheet with some follow up calculation guidance © a follow up worksheet that assesses the recordings in a titration table (d) a worksheet that evaluates bad lab titration practice
