Industrial Chemistry

[rae]

Good afternoon,
For the first time this year we are doing Industrial chemistry as our elective topic for HSC chem. Does anyone have any ideas for practical assessment tasks that would go with this topic?

Any suggestions would be greatfully accepted.

Thanks Lorrae

Electroplating is a good experiment or corrosion of various metals in sea water.

distillation of crude petroleum into it's fractions

OH no distillation. You need to use fractional and even yr 12 will make a real mess of this. Takes too long to set up, unless you can do it in groups.

Is equilibrium part of this topic? There are number of experiments on equilibrium.

[rae]

Yes equilibrium is! We have pracs to do we are looking for a practical assessment task.

We did the Fe3+ +SCN-
and Cromate/dichromate equilibrium as practical assessable.
With lots of written questions it worked quite well.We had only 22 students.
