Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry | Unit 3.8 | Physical Chemistry | Required Practical
This Synapse Science required practical supports spec point 3.8 of the Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry course. Students investigate temperature changes in different types of chemical reactions and classify them as exothermic or endothermic based on experimental results.
A simple, hands-on activity ideal for building confidence with reaction types and energy change interpretation.
Specification Point Covered- 3.8: Practical – Investigate temperature changes accompanying some of the following types of change:
• Salts dissolving in water
• Neutralisation reactions
• Displacement reactions
• Combustion reactions
- Student Worksheet – Temperature data table, observation prompts, and conclusion questions
- Teacher & Technician Notes – Method guidance, expected results, MSDS summary, and model answers
- Reactions Included:
- Ammonium nitrate + water (salt dissolving)
- Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide (neutralisation)
- Zinc + copper(II) sulfate (displacement)
(Optional demonstration: combustion)
- Safe, straightforward reactions using classroom-ready materials
- Step-by-step method supports independent lab skills
- Clear layout with analysis section and energy change conclusion
- Clean Synapse Science format with built-in result tables
- Ready for printing, photocopying, or digital upload
