GCSE Triple Chemistry: Chemical Analysis
This bundle contains all the content relevant to AQA Triple Chemistry students in the new 9-1 syllabus.
**Includes 4 LESSONS worth of teaching materials:**
This includes the standard tests and characteristic results/colour changes for:
* positive metal ion flame tests (Li, Cu, K, Na, Ca),
* positive metal ion precipitate tests with NaOH (Fe(III), Fe(II), Cu(II), Mg, Ca, Al)
* sulfate test with barium nitrate/chloride
* halide tests (Cl, Br and I) with silver nitrate
* carbonate tests with dilute acid and lime water
These lessons contain full powerpoints, student worksheets, complete answers, risk assessments/technician order forms, stretch and challenge tasks, relevant exam questions, and AfL plenary activities
**Lesson 1-2: Identifying positive metal ions (flame tests and precipitate tests)
Lesson objectives:**
* Carry out simple flame tests to identify positive metal ions
* Carry out simple precipitate tests to identify positive metal ions
* Describe how to carry out a flame test and a precipitate test, including the names of any important reactants
* Describe the problems and limitations of using flame tests and precipitate tests to identify positive metal ions
**Lesson 3 - Identifying negative non-metal ions
Lesson objectives:**
* Carry out simple precipitate tests to identify halide, sulfate and carbonate ions
* Describe how to carry out precipitate tests to test for halide, sulfate and carbonate ions, including the names of any important reactants
* Write balanced symbol and ionic equations for the reactions taking place in precipitation reactions
**Lesson 4 - Instrumental Analysis and Flame Emission Spectra
Lesson objectives:**
* Know what instrumental techniques are
* Describe advantages and disadvantages of instrumental techniques over other analysis techniques (e.g. flame tests)
* Interpret flame emission spectra to identify unknown elements in a mixture
**Lesson resources include:**
* Complete and full powerpoints - including starter activities, challenge activities, tables of results, practical instructions, questions with complete answers
* Student worksheets and practical sheets with instructions and tables for results (PDF and editable word versions)
* Student worksheet answers (PDF and editable word versions)
* Practical risk assessments/order forms (up to date with CLEAPPS data as of Oct 2023)
* Relevant practice exam questions with mark schemes and examiners reports.
