CAPE Chem Lessons

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS Finally it's day 30. What an easy month that was. This syllabus section is the least frequently examined of all. So today's question may not have anything to do with what's on tomorrow's exam. But better to be safe than … instagr.am/p/CskIge6L7zt/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS Today's day 29. 30 more minutes of work and it's off to earn that grade one! Transition elements is one of only three topics in Unit 1 to come four years in a row (in the past 15 years). So just because it's been on the … instagr.am/p/CshOJmzO5xn/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS It's now day 28. Everything should be in place at this point. U1 M3 SS 4 is simply more facts to learn. If you haven't learnt the equations in particular for this section as yet, here's the quickest way to do it. Don't t… instagr.am/p/CsfJyTDLK5F/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS We've gotten to day 27. Just 3 days left until you're ready to get a grade one! I believe Group IV is most likely to come, out of all the subsections in Module 3. Lots of facts to learn. The inert pair effect has prove… instagr.am/p/CscepEbL1WA/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS It's now day 26. This question tests almost every major part of the syllabus on Group II. All that remain of significance are the reactions of Group II elements and uses of compounds of Group II metals. If you have some t… instagr.am/p/CsaDJcirPp9/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS We've reached day 25. Nothing really special today. Just easy things which you don't have to expend much effort to know. A bit of group 2 is mixed in here because by itself it would not have justified an entire day's wor… instagr.am/p/CsXdQySLWhM/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS It's now day 24. Imagine we have gotten to the point where only 6 more days of work will be enough to be ready. Just 3 more hours of it in all. We're starting Module 3 today with period 3. This entire module is an exerc… instagr.am/p/CsU-ESJtDF1/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS We've gotten to day 23. This question is a bit of revision of things you already know how to do. The rest of it will show you which side the standard hydrogen half cell should go in a pictorial representation and where to… instagr.am/p/CsSQOKbLqUk/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS It's now day 22. Still on redox equilibria we see them fix some issues from yesterday's question while simultaneously making a mess of almost all of what remains. You'll see how NOT to write and draw an iodine half cell … instagr.am/p/CsPnRGErEJF/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS We've reached day 21. And just like that it's the end of Module 2. But we'd benefit from doing a few more redox equilibria questions before starting Module 3. Even though this section is typical of M2 in that it's all st… instagr.am/p/CsPmaw9L1rC/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS It's now day 20. There are two topics being covered today. Buffers and solubility product. It didn't make sense to just have buffers today and then move on because it would only take you about 5 minutes to be done. As wi… instagr.am/p/CsKlR0RLVrB/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS We've gotten to day 19. The recurring theme with basically all of Module 2 is the lack of room for questions to be creative. Almost every question is virtually identical to others from past years within a particular subse… instagr.am/p/CsHbOy1ufDa/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS We're now on day 18. As mentioned on Day 17, you do one of these questions and you do them all. It's hard to believe that today's and yesterday's questions are actually from two different exam papers. As usual, do the h… instagr.am/p/CsHJFkTrAvg/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS It's day 17. We might call it Standard Day. Standard definitions Standard equations Standard calculation Standard experiment With questions like these, you do one and you've done them all. I advise my students to memori… instagr.am/p/CsCtaWQrfUr/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS We've gotten to day 16. It's time to work on M2 SS2. If you do enough past paper questions on this topic, NOTHING IS NEW ANYMORE. Either you regurgitate standard facts and explanations or you work on a calculation which… instagr.am/p/CsAK6QqLOb7/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS It's day 15. Of most significance is that you'll be practicing how to use rate and concentration data to calculate/deduce individual reaction orders, and you'll see an experiment which could in the coming years be repeate… instagr.am/p/Cr9kMeRLGuh/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS It's day 14. We have been working now for half of an entire month. It certainly didn't feel like that. Today we start Module 2 with a question that has confused students from the day it first came out. The official answ… instagr.am/p/Cr664rBL0I0/

CAPE UNIT 1 CHEMISTRY STUDENTS We're now at day 13. Today marks the end of Module 1. If you've been following along from day 1, you now have a real chance at scoring very well on the 2023 question # 1. In this question you'll get to practice the same … instagr.am/p/Cr4JWbxLuM-/
