Slides 6 – Worked example 2 (harder question)
Slide 7 – Worked example 3 (harder still)
Slide 8 – Introduction to the following experiment: Reduction of copper(II) oxide. Students are asked to write down the chemical and symbol equation for the reaction. Answers animate onto the screen
Slide 9 – Students will now be guided through the process of finding the empirical formula of the copper oxide. On this slide, they are given the data obtained from the experiment. Which subtractions must they make to find the mass of copper? Answers animate onto the screen
Slide 10 – Which subtractions must they make to find the mass of oxygen? Answers animate onto the screen
Slide 11 – Students will now be shown how to work out the empirical formula of the copper oxide using the masses of copper and oxygen which they calculated
Slides 12 - 14 Calculation using combustion analysis – worked example. Students will be shown step-by-step with animations, how to first find the mass of carbon, then the mass of hydrogen and finally the mass of oxygen. From here, the empirical formula calculation is a piece of cake.
