Complete lessons and workbook Content Describe the use of litmus, phenolphthalein and methyl orange to distinguish between acidic & alkaline solutions Understand how to use the pH scale, from 0–14, to classify solutions as strongly acidic (0-3), weakly acidic (4-6), neutral (7), weakly alkaline (8-10) and strongly alkaline (11-14) Describe the use of Universal Indicator to measure the approximate pH value of an aqueous solution Know that acids in aqueous solution are a source of hydrogen ions and alkalis in an aqueous solution are sources of hydroxide ions Know that metal oxides, metal hydroxides and ammonia can be classified as bases and that alkalis are bases that are soluble in water Know that bases can neutralise acids Understand acids and bases in terms of proton transfer and that an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor Understand how to use acid-base character of oxides to classify elements as metals or non-metals Describe the combustion of elements in oxygen, including magnesium, hydrogen and sulfur Describe the reactions of hydrochloric, sulfuric and nitric acids with: metals (but not with nitric acid) bases metal carbonates Describe an experiment to prepare a pure, dry sample of a soluble salt starting from an insoluble reactant Describe an experiment to prepare a pure, dry sample of a soluble salt starting from an acid and an alkali Describe an experiment to prepare a pure, dry sample of an insoluble salt starting from two soluble reactants
