Calculations in AS / A Level Chemistry

Product Information

Suitable for use with all AS and A Level specifications, it helps your students to understand mathematical concepts specific to AS and A Level Chemistry. When I first met Pete, my technician, I soon realised he was a veteran of Truro School, and having worked there for many years, he had worked with quite a few chemistry teachers in his time. So, I spent some spare money on a tape player, amplifier and speakers and started playing classical music from my collection at home. This started with A-Level groups and then moved down to GCSE groups and even occasionally to a third form group.

We are investigating a range of green chemical technologies and their application to major chemical challenges.

These include environmentally friendly heterogeneous catalysis, energy efficient microwave and ultrasonic-activated processes, supercritical fluid extraction of valuable chemicals from plants, and novel materials derived from biomass. As of July 2016, I am unlikely to add anything new to Chemguide, apart from the occasional bit of maintenance to make sure that it is as accurate as possible. In those days, as well as A-Levels there were harder S-Level papers available, and most years you might have two or three chemistry students doing S-Level exams.

If you are working in another examination system, you still need to know exactly what is expected of you, but will have to find that information for yourself.Calculations in AS and A Level Chemistry guides your students through the various types of mathematical calculations they will encounter during their AS and A Level course, using clear and simple language. Traditional petroleum resources will gradually be replaced by sustainable resources derived from nature including trees, plants and food and biorefinery wastes. Leaving the safety of academia and the gentle footpaths and byways of the countryside (and DIY), he tried something completely different…. Chamber music worked best because it is clearer; large orchestral pieces echoing around in a big lab just sound ‘muddy’. You mightn’t expect this to appeal to teenagers, but it did, and if I forgot to put it on, they invariably reminded me.

The resulting back injury required the attendance and use of the Cornwall Air Ambulance, as can be seen in the picture.

The unique set of circumstances provides an exciting opportunity for the discovery and application of new green chemistry solutions to these sustainability challenges.

My over-riding aim is to try to increase your understanding of these difficult bits so that you gain confidence.

Obviously, that helped them, but it also had an enormous influence on my future, because it gave me real insight as to where their difficulties lay, and to sense immediately when students were finding my approach unclear. In fact it is now being used by people on equivalent (16 to 18 year old) courses worldwide and by students at the beginning of university level courses. I started by concentrating on the bits that textbooks tend to do too quickly and that students often find difficulty with. It was written to cover the calculations in UK AS and A level chemistry syllabuses (roughly for ages 16 - 18 years), but chemistry calculations are just the same wherever in the world you are working. If you have questions about other things relating to the site, they may have been answered in my questions and comments section.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Each type of calculation is introduced in a very gentle way, making no great assumptions about your chemistry knowledge or maths ability. That will give you the full contents list and the index, the first 6 pages of Chapter 1, and all the answers to the problems in the book - including the fully worked answers.
