Diploma Programme

IB DP Chemistry R2.1 L7 | Atom Economy | Lesson Walkthrough

Calculate atom economy and compare reaction routes. Students distinguish atom economy from percentage yield and evaluate inherent chemical waste.

IB DP Chemistry R2.1 L1 | Chemical Equations as Quantitative Ratio Maps | Lesson Walkthrough

Interpret balanced equations as mole-ratio maps. Students distinguish particle and mole ratios from mass ratios and use coefficients to make quantitative predictions.

IB DP Chemistry R2.1 L2 | Reacting Masses | Lesson Walkthrough

Calculate reacting masses by converting mass to moles, applying a balanced-equation ratio and converting back to mass.

IB DP Chemistry R1.3 L1 | Complete and Incomplete Combustion | Lesson Walkthrough

Compare complete and incomplete combustion as oxygen availability changes. Students write balanced equations, identify carbon-containing products and connect reaction products to practical observations.

IB DP Chemistry R1.3 L2 | Comparing Fossil Fuels | Lesson Walkthrough

Compare fossil fuels using energy per gram, carbon dioxide per unit of energy and incomplete-combustion products. Students use calculations and environmental evidence to evaluate contrasting fuel choices.

IB DP Chemistry R1.3 L3 | Biofuels, Renewable Carbon and the Limits of Carbon Neutrality | Lesson Walkthrough

Evaluate carbon-neutrality claims for biofuels by comparing chemical equations with the wider production and use cycle. Students examine system boundaries and distinguish renewable carbon from zero net emissions.

IB DP Chemistry R1.3 L4 | Fuel Cells | Lesson Walkthrough

Explore how hydrogen and oxygen can produce electrical energy in a fuel cell. Students trace the electrochemical processes, write equations and connect cell design with its energy conversion.

IB DP Chemistry R1.4 L1 | Entropy as Dispersal of Matter and Energy | Lesson Walkthrough

Build a particle-level interpretation of entropy through the dispersal of matter and energy. Students compare possible arrangements and make qualitative predictions about entropy changes.

IB DP Chemistry R1.4 L2 | Calculating Standard Entropy Changes | Lesson Walkthrough

Calculate standard entropy changes from tabulated data. Students predict a sign and approximate scale first, then check stoichiometric coefficients, units and the physical interpretation of the result.

IB DP Chemistry R1.4 L3 | Gibbs Energy | Lesson Walkthrough

Combine enthalpy, entropy and temperature through the Gibbs energy equation. Students calculate energy changes with consistent units and explain how the terms determine thermodynamic favourability.
