Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How can we use chemical tests to identify an unknown gas?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The test for carbon dioxide uses an aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide (lime water). When carbon dioxide is shaken with or bubbled through limewater the limewater turns milky (cloudy).
  2. Students do not need to know the names of components in proprietary products.
  3. The test for hydrogen uses a burning splint held at the open end of a test tube of the gas. Hydrogen burns rapidly with a pop sound
  4. The test for chlorine uses litmus paper. When damp litmus paper is put into chlorine gas the litmus paper is bleached and turns white.
  5. The test for oxygen uses a glowing splint inserted into a test tube of the gas. The splint relights in oxygen
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Litmus paper: paper stained with litmus which is used to indicate the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. (1)
  • Quantitative test (1)
  • Qualitative test: This type of test identifies whether a substance is present, but not how much of it exists. A common example would be using a pH indicator to see if an acid is present. (1)
  • Lime water: An aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. How would you test if carbon dioxide was present In a reaction?
    Use an aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide (lime water). When carbon dioxide is shaken with or bubbled through limewater the limewater turns milky (cloudy).
  2. How would you test if Hydrogen was present In a reaction?
    Use a burning splint held at the open end of a test tube of the gas. Hydrogen burns rapidly with a pop sound
  3. How would you test if chlorine was present In a reaction?
    When damp litmus paper is put into chlorine gas the litmus paper is bleached and turns white.
  4. How would you test if Oxygen was present In a reaction?
    Use a glowing splint inserted into a test tube of the gas. The splint relights in oxygen

Differentiation: AGT, SEND, LLL, Disadvantaged
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
