Learners predict and explain what effect changing the
conditions of temperature, pressure and adding a catalyst
will have on the Haber and Contact processes.
The Haber process is detailed here:

Learners can explore the effect of changing conditions in
a Haber-Bosch ammonia plant in this simulation:

solutions/control-a-haber-bosch-ammonia-plant/
Learners carry out independent study to complete this
section. (I)
Give learners a short test to check that they know the
names and formulae of these acids and bases.
Learners expand on the list of acids and bases in 7.2.1
and 7.2.2 and find out how and why they are categorised
as strong and weak acids and bases. Confirm that
learners have understood the concept of complete and
partial dissociation (ionisation) in water, giving examples.
Ensure that learners use a reversible arrow for species
which only partially ionise.
Experimental work: Ask learners to draw a table including
various strong and weak acids with column headings of
relative reaction rate with magnesium, pH value, effect on
universal indicator and conductivity.
Include a sample of pure water for reference.

Learners write balanced chemical equations for a range of
acid base reactions. Next, they write the general ionic
equations for these reactions and finally the net ionic
equations noticing that the only species that react are the
H+ and the OH- ions.
Reference this back to Enthalpy change 5.1.3, asking
learners which enthalpy change this reaction defines.
[enthalpy of neutralisation]
Inspect the general ionic equations once again, focusing
on the spectator ions on the right side of the equations.
These are the salts. Learners should also be able to
name these salts.
Reference this work back to Formulae 2.3.2.
www.ausetute.com.au/neutralise.html
It would be best to start with a practical activity
(suggestions below) in which learners plot a pH graph of a
strong acid–strong base system. You could then ask them
to predict and sketch the shape of the graph if the liquids
in the burette and titration flask were reversed.
Learners label the equivalence point on the graph, noting
that it’s pH value occurs at pH 7.0. Ask them to sketch the
graphs involving either a weak acid or a weak base (or
both).
Tell learners they will gain a more complete
understanding of the reasons for these shapes when they
have studied section 25.1, Acids and bases.

Give learners a list of indicators (p.61 of the syllabus) and
which pH range they function in effectively, such as in this
page: www.docbrown.info/page07/equilibria6a.htm
Then allow learners to write the names of suitable
indicators on their sketch graphs above (you will need to
add thymolphthalein from another source).
