Amount of substance (1 of 2)

(1)
An A-Level Chemistry resource on calculating Amount of substance (Moles). The worksheet is differentiated with each section increasing in difficulty. Answers are included with each section so that students can check their progress. This is the first half of this resource, the 2nd half is also available on this website with 2 more pages on atom economy, empirical formulae, percentage yield etc. The complete set has 16 sections in total. If you like this resource there are others of a similar format on calculating entropy, pH, Kc, Kp, Grignard reagents, inorganic formulae, Ecell, pV = nRT etc. These sheets conrain examples of every type of exam questions atudents may face.

Organic analysis
polarity24polarity24

Organic analysis

(0)
An A-Level Chemistry resource which can be used as a starter/plenary on spectrometry. Student are given various physical data (melting point, solubility, rotation of polarised light, elemental analysis) and spectra (IR, NMR, Mass spec and pH). Students have to pull all the information together to identify the compound. The unknown compound is an amino acid, so it consolidates knowledge on chirality, solubility, zwitterions, pH and then understanding of the various spectroscopic techniques. takes about 10 mins for students to complete, answers are included on the last slide.
