Reversible Reactions – Lesson, Worksheet & Practical

Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry | Unit 3.17–3.18 | Physical Chemistry

This Synapse Science resource introduces the concept of reversible reactions through clear theory, visual examples, and a hands-on practical. Students observe the dehydration and rehydration of copper(II) sulfate and apply the symbol ⇌ to write balanced reversible equations.

This is an engaging and visual lesson designed to help students master a core concept in chemical equilibrium through observation and analysis.

Specification Points Covered
  • 3.17: Know that some reactions are reversible and this is indicated by the symbol ⇌ in equations
  • 3.18: Describe reversible reactions such as the dehydration of hydrated copper(II) sulfate and the effect of heat on ammonium chloride
What’s Included
  • Lesson Slides – Editable PowerPoint with theory, key reactions, and scaffolded examples
  • Practical Worksheet – Investigate dehydration and rehydration of CuSO₄·5H₂O
  • Observation & Conclusion Table – Students record colour changes and interpret reversibility
  • Teacher & Technician Notes – Setup instructions, safety tips, model answer, and MSDS summary
Key Features
  • Demonstrates two real reversible reactions: hydrated copper sulfate and ammonium chloride
  • Hands-on practical to reinforce visual understanding of chemical reversibility
  • Symbol ⇌ introduced and applied in both word and symbol equations
  • Clean Synapse Science layout for smooth delivery in class or as a revision activity
