Recognising the Type of Reaction

Recognising the Type of Reaction

(0)
One of the most useful skills in answering many GCSE chemistry questions is to work out what type of reaction is involved in the question. This helps you work out what the products may be, but also answer other questions about the reaction. Students often find this very difficult, mainly due to a lack of practice and experience. This simple information sheet with questions at the back is in black and white so can be readily photocopied.

Quick and short presentation on how to balance the manganate (vii) half equation, to save you time. I have now added the oxidation of ethanol by acidified potassium dichromate (VI) as another example.
