<p>Comprehension and additional task exercises pages 96 and 97 from Next Page Science KS3 Complete. Accompanying PowerPoint and word searches available for <strong>free</strong> from the website.<br />
This exercise covers:<br />
• Non-metal oxides to include: SO2, CO2 and NO2, the production of acidic solutions in water, acid rain production and weathering of buildings, carbonic acid in fizzy drinks<br />
• Metal oxides to include: CaO, MgO, CuO and ZnO, their classifications as bases (acid opposites), the difference between a base and an alkali<br />
• Acid base reactions<br />
• Carbonates as bases that also produce CO2 in reacting with acids<br />
• An exercise recognising the difference between an acid and base<br />
• An exercise predicting the products of an acid + base (oxide) reactions and an acid + base (carbonate) reactions<br />
