AQA • A Level Chemistry

This document contains EVERYTHING you need to know for OCR A-level Chemistry - nothing more and nothing less. It covers ALL points of the specification and will save your hours of time when revising, instead of typing the notes up yourself. The systematic colour coding and diagrams make it very neat and easy to understand. It also includes practials and PAGs - a crucial part that is assessed in the exam. Enjoy!

These are my notes on organic analysis, including test tube reactions for aldehyde, ketone, alcohol, carboxylic acid and alkenes. This also includes mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy.

This is my notes on alcohols. This includes classification, oxidation of alcohols, dehydration of alcohols, distillation and reflux, production of ethanol, fermentation and hydration of ethene.

This includes alkenes, electrophiles, electrophilic addition reactions with bromine, hydrogen bromide and sulfuric acid. This also includes Markownikoffs rule for electrophilic addition to unsymmetrical alkenes, and formation of minor and major products.

My notes on halogenoalkanes, including naming, nucleophilic substitution with hydroxide, cyanide and ammonia. This also includes the elimination reaction of halogenoalkanes with hydroxide ions, and how they act as a base.

This is my notes on ozone depletion, covered in the topic on halogenoalkanes. This includes the equations for conversion of ozone into oxygen, and how a chlorine radical acts as a catalyst.

An overview of the free radical substitution of alkanes to produce halogenoalkanes. Including intitiation, propogation and termination steps.

A general overview of alkanes, their general formula, drawing alkanes, isomerism displayed in alkanes, and cycloalkanes.

These are my notes on combustion of alkanes, covered in the alkanes module of AS AQA organic chemistry.

These are my notes on cracking hydrocarbons, to produce alkenes, aromatic compounds and smaller alkanes.
