Your site is very helpful, I use the resources and ideas a lot. The discussions on philosophy and how to teach some concepts are great as I have only one chemistry colleague and he is in his first year.

- Hello Alex, Students need to know that a secondary (rechargeable) cell involves reversible redox reactions but from my understanding of R3.2.7 they do not need to memorise specific secondary-cell redox systems as it clearly states "Deduce the...
- Hi Geoff,I’m teaching standard level rechargeable cells in R3.2 and I’m unsure if students need to memorise the oxidised and reduced species at the anode and cathode e.g. Carbon—Zinc cell, Zn/Zn2+ and MnO2/MnO(OH), electrolyte NH4Cl....

- Hi Geoff,In a lot of these Reactivity 1 questions for HL and SL you've made reference to enthalpies of formation and combustion. The subject guide lists these under Reactivity 1.2.3 which is AHL material. Have you done this intentionally?...
