Shells Red Balls - Combustion of alkanes, gas laws, greenhouse effect

A full lesson activity to recap combustion of hydrocarbons, ideal gas laws and the greenhouse effect.

This is ideal for A-Level chemistry immediately following the unit on alkanes.

Students should be handed the worksheet as the enter and given the opportunity to complete the first side. This should be reviewing combustion, ideal gas laws and moles calculations.

During this display the first slide for students to think about once they have completed the first set of questions.

Discuss what information would be needed to do the calculations (height of bridge etc…) on the 3rd slide it has this information and students can be allowed to complete the calculations.

Discussion of carbon capture and storage can follow if time.
