Year 12 have been working hard experimentally determining the order of reaction, it isn't an easy task! A few also recorded themselves to help prepare when it comes to carrying out their IAs, I feel an IB Chemistry vlog in the works...πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬ @DrCourtDGS

Today 12H1 put their standard solutions to the test during titration 🟠 let's see if their methods were accurate and they can use math to identify the concentration of the acid tomorrow... @DGSSciCollege @DrCourtDGS @DartfordGS
