A Level Chemistry Calculation Examples

(0)
A range of amount of substance, quantitative chemistry questions from A Level Chemistry that can be used as revision or topic consolidation. Could be used to teach structuring answers and work on picking out information from questions. Available as presentation or pdf and includes answer slides for guidance. Covers reacting mass, % by mass, limiting reagents, % purity calculation from titration data, ideal gas calculations to determine relative formula mass and mass of reactant.

Reversible Reactions & Energetics Revision

(0)
Revision summary knowledge organiser to consolidate the practical work associated with energetics and reversible reactions. Using their resources, students complete diagrams to show the set up of experiments used to calculate enthalpy changes of reaction, labelling the purpose of the apparatus. This is important in applying dual-coding learning strategy. Once completed, students use the other side of the organiser to consider what questions they could be asked on the topic. This can then be used for students to create written tests to try out on each other.

Mixed amount of substance worksheet

(0)
A short four-question pdf worksheet on amount of substance calculations for first year** A Level **students. Ideal for homework or a quick written check at the start/end of a lesson. This resource covers reacting mass, empirical formula, ideal gas and concentration calculations. I have included worked answers at the end, which can be used for student self assessment and show ideal layout of working (avoiding the dreaded grid or table under the equation).
