As the solo chemistry teacher at an international school, introducing the IB, this site literally "saved my skin" -never felt alone and a wonderful resource. Highly recommended

Quote of the day
It may sound like a lot of work to keep up with organic chemistry, and it is; however those who haven’t the time to do it become subject to decay in the ability to teach and to contribute to the Science – a sort of first-order process the half-life of which can't be much more than a year or two.

- 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....
- Hello Austin, Yes - it is intentional. As you correctly say, standard enthalpies of combustion and formation are only specifically mentioned in the AHL part of the syllabus, but R1.1.4 (which is SL and HL) covers "The standard enthalpy change...
