Chemical Tests: Flame & Gases – Lesson, Worksheet & Practicals

Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry | Unit 2.44–2.46 | Lesson 34

Overview

This double practical lesson introduces students to the identification of gases and cations using simple, observable tests. It includes two hands-on activities: one for testing common gases (H₂, O₂, CO₂, NH₃, Cl₂), and another for performing flame tests to identify metal ions by colour. Ideal for introducing qualitative analysis.

Specification Covered
  • 2.44: Describe tests for hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and chlorine
  • 2.45: Describe how to carry out a flame test
  • 2.46: Know the flame colours for Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Cu²⁺
What’s Included
  • Editable PowerPoint Lesson (Theory + Two Practicals + Tasks)
  • Student Worksheet
  • Flame test and gas test practical instructions
  • Tables for observations and guided questions
Features
  • Fully aligned with Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry Unit 2
  • Covers two essential qualitative practicals with clear safety reminders
  • Reinforces lab observation skills with focused outcomes
  • Summarises flame colour results and gas test reactions
  • Clean Synapse Science visual layout for consistency
