Topic 1: Stoichiometric Relationships (2016)
Stoichiometry deals with all the stuff about the amounts of chemicals involved and produced in chemical reactions, and the ratios in which t [...]
Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing compounds. It is called ‘organic’ because it used to be thought that carbon [...]
Topic 7: Equilibrium
Equilibrium is one of the core features of many – if not most – chemical processes, and describes the way that reactions tend to [...]
Option D: Medicines and Drugs
Without the advances of medicinal chemistry, much of the good health that we take for granted simply would not be possible. In this unit you [...]
Saturday Chemistry Revision
Over the next few weeks I will be running revision sessions for HL Chemistry, each Saturday from 8.00-10.00 in the morning. Roughly half of [...]
Protected: Chemistry Revision Question Packs
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post. [...]
Uncertainty Calculations
In mathematics, when you do a sum, the answer is the answer and that is the end of the story. In science however this is different because t [...]
Topic 6: Kinetics
Kinetics is all about the rate at which chemical reactions happen and the factors that govern this. At SL, this means consolidating the unde [...]
Calculations for IB Chemistry
To do well in IB Chemistry you need to master about 50 different types of calculation, so I have gathered them all together here in one plac [...]
IB Chemistry Topic Review Form
Your feedback is very important to me, so that I know how I can improve and teach you better. Please be as honest as possible with your answ [...]
Energetics: Student-made resources
Please find below the resources produced by the groups for the student-taught lessons on the use of enthalpies of formation and combustion. [...]
Topic 5: Energetics
Energetics (aka thermodynamics) is the study of energy in chemical reactions, and is central to giving us a deeper understanding of the way [...]
Bond Enthalpy Experiment Calculations
The calculations below show you how to determine the expected temperature rise. Step 1: calculate molar concentration of H2O2 Step 2: [...]
Common Problems With Internal Assessments
This post lists some of the common mistakes students make on IB Internal Assessments and what you can do about them. If you can think of any [...]
Topic 3: Periodicity
Periodicity is concerned with the trends and patterns in the physical and chemical behaviour of the elements in the periodic table. In th [...]
Internal Assessment
Overview The internal assessment for chemistry requires you to produce a portfolio of investigations, each of which are marked according to [...]
Periodicity: Student Made Resources
These are the various resources produced throughout the Periodicity Unit. If I have missed out yours, please send them to me and I’ll [...]
Topic 2: Atomic Structure
The atomic structure unit is, somewhat unsurprisingly, about the structure of atoms. You will learn about the component parts of atoms (prot [...]
Topic 4: Bonding
The bonding unit builds on the understanding of bonding developed at IGCSE level, to consider in great depth the actual mechanics of bondin [...]
Topic 8: Acids and Bases
Acids and bases are some of the most familiar compounds in everyday life, and most people have at least a rudimentary understanding o [...]
Topic 9: Oxidation and Reduction
Oxidation and reduction (aka redox) reactions are those where atoms change their oxidation state, meaning they have either gained or [...]
