This is an engaging revision lesson which uses a range of exam questions, understanding checks, quick tasks and quiz competitions to enable students to assess their understanding of the content within topic 8 (Fuels and Earth Science) of the Edexcel GCSE Chemistry specification.
The specification points that are covered in this revision lesson include:
- Recall that hydrocarbons are compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen only
- Describe and explain the separation of crude oil into simpler, more useful mixtures by the process of fractional distillation
- Recall the names and uses of the fractions
- Explain how hydrocarbons in different fractions differ from each other
- Describe the complete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels as a reaction
- Explain why the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons can produce carbon and carbon monoxide
- Explain how carbon monoxide behaves as a toxic gas
- Explain how impurities in some hydrocarbon fuels result in the production of sulfur dioxide
- Explain some problems associated with acid rain caused when sulfur dioxide dissolves in rain water
- Explain why, when fuels are burned in engines, oxygen and nitrogen can react together at high temperatures to produce oxides of nitrogen, which are pollutants
- Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen, rather than petrol, as a fuel in cars
- Explain how cracking involves the breaking down of larger, saturated hydrocarbon molecules (alkanes) into smaller, more useful ones, some of which are unsaturated (alkenes)
The students will thoroughly enjoy the range of activities, which includes a quiz competition called “POLLUTE THE AIR…WITH THE ANSWER” where they have to compete to be the 1st to recognise a pollutant gas from a series of clues whilst crucially being able to recognise the areas of this topic which need their further attention. This lesson can be used as revision resource at the end of the topic or in the lead up to mocks or the actual GCSE exams
