A Level Chemistry - 28.5 Stability constants, Kstab

Save hours of planning with my purpose made premium teaching resources —designed by an experienced educator who understand what really works.

All powerpoints are designed to fully cover the criteria within the up to date syllabus for the subject and help you engage students instantly while maintaining rigorous academic standards.
Perfect for in-person, hybrid, or fully online learning, our resources are customizable, curriculum-aligned, and built to boost student confidence and results. Stop spending late nights creating materials from scratch and start focusing on what matters most — inspiring your students.

This powerpoint contains a starter, 5 topic related Activities, 3 ipad Activities, revision questions, a mark scheme, and a plenary. All the content is differentiated and scaffolded to be suitable for EAL students.

This powerpoint is purposefully made for A Level Chemstry using the most recent Cambridge syllabus.

It fully covers - 28.5 Stability constants, Kstab

Learning outcomes
Candidates should be able to:

1. define the stability constant, Kstab, of a complex as the equilibrium constant for the formation of the complex ion in a solvent (from its constituent ions or molecules)

2. write an expression for a Kstab of a complex ([H₂O] should not be included)

3. use Kstab expressions to perform calculations

4. describe and explain ligand exchanges in terms of Kstab values and understand that a large Kstab is due to the formation of a stable complex ion
