August ‘til October Unit 1a – Inorganic Chemistry: Unit Test October
Key Areas:Electromagnetic radiation and atomic spectraAtomic orbitals, electronic configurations and the Periodic TableTransition metals
How will we learn it?Learning Outcomes and Glossary.Booklets – For each key areaJotters – Notes taken from powerpoints, and experimental reports. Notes are in Homeworks – Past papers etc on weblinkTutorials – Available on weblinkLabbooks – experiments written up in labbook for SQA assessment.Group tasks, posters, whiteboards etc for revision.

Key AreasGravimetric analysisVolumetric analysisPractical skills and techniquesStoichiometric calculations
How will we learn it?Lab book – Logbook for research and experiment. Individual research and experiments recorded for unit pass.
Group Experiments – 5 ‘must do’ practicals. Results taken and properly recorded to learn techniques for the unit test. Project Report – Sent away to be marked by SQA.
What’s in the Advanced Higher?
Practicals for Researching Chemistry
Prepare a standard solution of 0.1 mol l–1 oxalic acid
Determination of Ni2+ in a nickel(II) salt
Colorimetric determination of manganese in steel
Hydrolysis of ethyl benzoate
Preparation of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol
These are the ‘must do’ practicals, but we will hopefully manage lots of others!!
