Summary of content
Students will be expected to:
a. recognise the results of reactions of
compounds specifically mentioned in the specification and the results of tests
for simple ions.
The
simple ion tests should include: carbonate, hydrogencarbonate, sulphate
(VI), sulphite, chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate,
ammonium, sodium, potassium,
magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium
b. recognise the chemical tests for simple gases,
to include hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide,
ammonia, chlorine, nitrogen
dioxide and sulphur dioxide
c. carry out the techniques used in volumetric
analysis and enthalpy change measurements
*assessment exercises
will be limited to acid-base titrations as a matter of recall. In
exercises
of any other type full details of technique will be provided
d. carry out simple organic reactions
e. apply the chemistry of the elements and compounds
listed in Units 1 and 2 of this
specification
*this includes the chemistry of Groups 1, 2
and 7 and the chemistry associated with the
organic compounds listed in
topic 2.2
f. to present and interpret quantitative and qualitative
results
g. devise, plan and carry out simple experiments
based on the chemistry and techniquessummarised in a to e above.
