You must be ready to analyse structure, form and language and the effect of these on the participants in the conversation.

AO3 Use integrated approaches to explore relationships between texts, analysing and evaluating the significance of contextual factors in their production and reception

You need to be clear about the factors that effect that context of a spontaneous conversation (where, when, who, why etc). Be able to say how the context effects the language used by the participants.

Learn the following subheadings, as these are the areas that will be assessed:

Identifying the features of talk in life

The relationship between context, purpose and

Can you:

Define the terms: rate of a reaction, rate constant, order of reaction and overall order of reaction

Deduce the orders of reaction with respect to the reactants from initial rate data, presented graphically or in tabular form

Calculate the value of a rate constant and its units from initial rate data Predict the effect of a change in temperature and pressure on the value of the rate constant

Equilibria:

Can you:

Derive an expression for the equilibrium constant Kc of a chemical reaction, and deduce its units

Calculate the equilibrium constant of a reaction from equilibrium concentration data and vice versa

Calculate the equilibrium constant of a reaction from initial concentration data and some information relating to the equilibrium composition

Recall and explain that only temperature affects the value of the equilibrium constant

Acids and Bases:

Can you:

Define the terms acid and base in terms of Bronsted-Lowry theory Understand that acid-base reactions involve proton transfer and use the principle of acid-

base conjugate pairs to explain acid-base reactions Explain the terms strong acid, weak acid, strong base and weak base Recall the expression for Kw (ionic product of water) and relate it to the auto-ionisation of

water Deduce an expression for Ka of weak acids Define the terms pH and pKa

Calculate the pH of water and solutions of strong acids, weak acids or strong bases given the concentration and Kw or Ka, and vice versa, and explain the approximations involved

Explain why pH is temperature dependent and explain the variation of dissociation with temperature on the basis of the enthalpy changes of dissociation

Define the term buffer solution and explain using equations how a given buffer solution works

Calculate the pH of a buffer solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base using Ka and the relative concentrations of acid and base, and vice versa

Deduce the volume at which the end-point will be reached given information about the concentrations and volumes of the reacting species

Sketch titration curves for strong and weak acids with strong and weak bases

Page 27:  · Web viewBook – AQA Oxford University press textbook, CPG revision guide Exam papers from AQA website November Internal Assessments Subject information sheets for A2 Subject
