Tools and Techniques: notes and practice questions
Tools 1-3 and Inquiry 1-3 are examined throughout, concentrated in Paper 1B: safe and correct technique, uncertainty and graphing, and the inquiry cycle from designing an investigation to evaluating one.
Subtopics
- Practice questionsExperimental techniques
This topic covers essential experimental techniques and safety practices in chemistry. Recognize and address relevant safety, ethical, and environmental issues in an investigation.
- Practice questionsTechnology
This topic covers the application of technology in collecting and processing chemical data. Technology can be used to collect data through sensors, by identifying and extracting data from databases, and by generating data from models and simulations.
- Practice questionsMathematics
This topic covers the essential mathematical skills required for IB Chemistry, including calculations, data processing, and graphical analysis. Perform basic arithmetic, algebraic, and logarithmic calculations.
- Practice questionsExperimental techniquesHL only
This topic focuses on the application of experimental techniques to a greater depth and breadth, often in conjunction with higher level conceptual content. It involves a more rigorous approach to data collection and processing, including the propagation of uncertainties involving exponential functions.
- Practice questionsTechnologyHL only
This topic covers no additional higher level content beyond the standard level material for Technology. Standard level content for Technology includes using sensors, identifying and extracting data from databases, generating data from models and simulations, using spreadsheets to manipulate data, representing data graphically, and using computer modelling.
- Practice questionsMathematicsHL only
This topic covers advanced mathematical skills used in Higher Level Chemistry. Carry out calculations involving exponential functions.
