Understand how to draw the positional isomers of alcohols
Know that alcohols can be oxidised by combustion, and heating with acidified potassium dichromate
Know that ethanol can be manufactured by the reaction of ethene with steam, and by fermentation of sugars by yeast
Understand the reasons for the optimum conditions used in fermentation
Know that carboxylic acids contain the functional group COOH
Understand how to draw the structural formulae of carboxylic acids
Describe the reactions of metals with aqueous carboxylic acids
Know that vinegar is a solution of ethanoic acid

Know that addition polymers are formed by joining many small monomers
Understand how to draw the repeating unit of a polymer
Know how to deduce the monomer from a section of a polymer
Explain the difficulty in disposing of polymers
Know that condensation polymers are formed from diols and dioic acids
Understand how to draw the repeating uint of a polyester
Know that some biopolyesters are biodegradable
Requirements
Parents of students currently studying Chemistry at GCSE level or similar courses for the same age range. Completion of parts 1-3 of this course series is highly recommended.
Description
ATTENTION PARENTS: Does your student need help learning IGCSE and GCSE Chemistry (or similar courses) from home? This course will give them the skills they need to feel confident for their exams. Purchase this course to help your student prepare for their exams by helping them to understand chemistry, rather than focusing on trying to memorise seemingly unrelated facts!
This course covers all of the material studied in iGCSE Chemistry and GCSE Chemistry courses in the topics of Organic Chemistry, Reaction Rates, Equilibria, and Redox Reactions. These are normally the topics covered in (i)GCSE courses by schools in year 11 (Grade 10, ages 15/16). The material is also relevant for most GCSE courses. It is designed for students who are currently in year 11 (Grade 10, ages 15-16) and revising the material covered in their school lessons. It would also be useful for those students entering A level, or IBDP courses in chemistry who require a firm grounding before embarking on these more advanced qualifications. The material covered in this topic is also covered in most American and Canadian syllabuses in grade 10 chemistry/science (ages 15/16).
As soon as students sign up for this IGCSE Chemistry and GCSE Chemistry masterclass they will receive access to
NEW and updated IGCSE chem & GCSE chem video lessons for each section of the course.
FREE digital IGCSE chem & GCSE worksheets to support learning
FULL EXAM QUESTION WALKTHROUGHS of past exam papers to help you learn the best exam writing strategies.
FREE topic-specific IGCSE chemistry past exam paper questions and mark schemes.
This IGCSE chemistry (O Level) masterclass is offered by IGCSEprep on Udemy. This masterclass covers all the content needed to write the IGCSE chemistry exams offered by Pearson Edexcel (double or triple) or Cambridge CIE (core or extended) or other exam boards like Oxford AQA.
Who this course is for
iGCSE and GCSE students studying double (core) or triple (extended) award chemistry or courses for the similar age range
