How Hard Is A Level Chemistry Compared to GCSE? Here's the Real Deal!
Introduction: Taking A Level Chemistry and wondering how it compares to GCSE? Spoiler alert: It’s definitely a step up... and it can feel like a big one! But don't worry, this post will explain why it seems harder and how you can handle the jump with the right approach.Let’s break it down! The Depth of Knowledge – Beyond the Basics At GCSE, you’re mostly focused on learning the basics and memorising key facts. At A Level, the depth of knowledge required is far greater. You'l

How to Balance Redox Equations in Alkaline (and Acid) Solutions?
The Fuel Cell of Hydrogen and Oxygen can take place in Acid or Alkaline Solution. In either situation we first balance the redox equations in acid solution. The product of the reaction is water. Oxidation Half Equation (Acid Solution) H₂ -----> H₂O 1. Add H₂O to balance O atoms H₂O + H₂ -----> H₂O 2. Balance H atoms with H+ H₂O + H₂ -----> H₂O + 2H ⁺ 3. Balance charge with e⁻ There is 0 charge on LHS and +2 charge on RHS so add 2e to the RHS: H₂O + H₂ ----> H₂O + 2H⁺ +
