Chemistry: balancing word and symbol equations involving metal salts with acid

There are two worksheets (with worked answers) and notes in this resource. WS1 focuses on word equations and limits reaction to those of oxides, hydroxides and carbonates. Notes are also provided. The intention is for students to get used to the idea of always writing down the salt and that water is the other product.

WS2 asks students to balance the symbol equations. The equations are limited to acids reacting with oxides, carbonates and hydroxides. Both worksheets are also part of a larger resource called "Chemistry: balancing equations involving metals and their salts".

This resource will suit students learning about balancing equations for the first time.

With all the best intentions in the world, mistakes do get made. Please tell me if there is an error and I will correct it and organise to send you a corrected copy.
