Calculations in AS / A Level Chemistry

Product Information

There are some calculations missing completely, and others where all you will find is a minimal introduction. Guides students through each exercise with help and hint boxes as they gradually progress through the text. The site was originally intended to meet the needs of UK A level chemistry students, but it has been widened over the years to cover material on all the UK-based syllabuses including A level, IB, Scottish Advanced Highers and Cambridge International. 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. Reviewed by a language specialist to ensure the book is written in a clear and accessible style for students whose first language may not be English.

A discussion started between them, and I realised that I had no idea what they were talking about (In fairness to myself, it had drifted into atomic physics! Before Truro School became fully independent in the 1970s it was a Direct Grant Scheme school and took 11+ students from the Truro area because there was no boys’ grammar school in the city.In this article, Jim tells us how his idea for Chemguide grew because of the one-to-one teaching support sessions he gave to A-Level students at Truro School. Calculations in AS and A Level Chemistry fills a gap in the market and provides excellent coverage of the calculations needed at A Level.

At the end of each section there is a set of problems for you to do, based firmly on what has gone before. Traditional petroleum resources will gradually be replaced by sustainable resources derived from nature including trees, plants and food and biorefinery wastes. During my time at the school, Wednesday afternoon was established as a time for games and activities. The last year of 11+ (which uniquely included some 10+ students as well that year – my son, Paul was one) generated one of the best years ever. My over-riding aim is to try to increase your understanding of these difficult bits so that you gain confidence.

Assumes only a basic knowledge of GCSE Chemistry to help bridge the gap between GCSE and AS/A Level. Suitable for use with all AS and A Level specifications, it helps students to understand mathematical concepts specific to AS and A Level Chemistry. 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.

Transferable skills, needed for progression into higher education and employment, are signposted allowing students to understand, and engage with, the skills they’re gaining.

After a difficult day he decided to go home and begin a spot of DIY, taking his frustrations out on an old greenhouse with a concrete block base. Fluorine's chemistry includes inorganic compounds formed with hydrogen, metals, nonmetals, and even noble gases; as well as a diverse set of organic compounds. 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.
