Elimination reactions in halogenoalkanes
Halogenoalkanes undergo substitution reactions in the presence of a nucleophile such as the hydroxide ion, OH–, but most good nucleophiles

Explaining the reactivity of halogenoalkanes
Can we predict the trend in reactivity of fluoromethane, chloromethane, bromomethane and iodomethane based on any of the information below?

Nucleophilic substitution in halogenoalkanes
Halogenoalkanes react with nucleophiles in nucleophilic substitution reactions. The halogen atom in the molecule is replaced by the nucleophile and

Advanced titration calculations
So now you are confident with run-of-the-mill, text book titration questions it’s time to tackle the types of question you
Basic titration calculations
You may have come across titration calculations at GCSE, and this post builds on that knowledge. The good news is
Working with concentration
It is assumed that you covered the basics of concentration at GCSE. Essentially, you need to be able to work

Finding the mass of a volatile liquid
We can use the ideal gas equation to find the molar mass (relative molecular mass) of a volatile liquid. In
Understanding the ideal gas equation
The ideal gas equation is an amalgamation of Boyle’s law, Charles’s law and Avogadro’s law and it describes the behaviour
