A thought-provoking lesson which explores why certain conditions are chosen for reversible reactions. Throughout this lesson, students are challenged to think about the topic in three ways. Of course, they have to consider the chosen conditions from a Scientific angle by knowing how temperature and pressure affect the position of the equilibrium. They must also think about the business (and health) side of the argument by recognising that increased pressures are both dangerous and expensive. Finally, they are taught recognise how the chosen conditions are in fact a compromise which has taken both the Science and business into account. Students are guided through the choice of conditions for the production of methanol so that they can apply their knowledge to the production of ammonia by the Haber process.
This lesson has been designed for GCSE students.

The choosing reaction conditions lesson is a great "six hats" lesson.<br /> However as the previous review the stars and circles worksheets are missing in the lesson download which are referred to in the lesson.
Some of Topic 5 powerpoints say that there are stars and circles worksheets but they are not in the bundle....be great if we could have those two.
