Identify learning gaps and misconceptions with this set of worksheets offering three levels of support

A set of differentiated worksheets with answers for GCSE and equivalent qualifications. Identify learning gaps and misconceptions on the topic of fractional distillation and hydrocarbons.

The worksheets cover the following topics: fractional distillation of crude oil; chain length, intermolecular forces and boiling points of hydrocarbons; properties of the fractions; hydrocarbons and alkanes; hydrocarbons as fuels; complete and incomplete combustion.

If learners successfully answer questions on these topics, they can attempt the extension questions. These include questions where a crude oil alternative undergoes fractional distillation and the molecular and displayed formulas of the first four alkanes.
