I used AQA’s list of measurement terms (which is included) to make a wordsearch, bingo game, and match the definition sheet.
NB: I have now added the definitions as a presentation, in both powerpoint and keynote formats. I made it in keynote and exported to powerpoint, so the keynote version is better.
This is a simple powerpoint presentation outlining how to write word equations for neutralisation reactions. It has plenty of examples and problems. It is allied to my worksheet of the same name, with the same problems for students to try. The answers are at the end of the presentation, for students to mark their own work.
This is a simple worksheet about writing word equations for neutralisation reactions. It covers 2 pages.
There are plenty of examples, which get harder as you go on. There is an accompanying powerpoint, as an additional download…
NB I am well aware that exam boards, RSC and text books regard acid plus metal to be a redox reaction, which of course it is. However, in such a reaction, the pH increases to neutral and the acid has gone, so I think it can properly be regarded as neutralization of an acid. And since this worksheet is really about naming salts, I had to include it.
I removed the spurious reaction of copper metal with dilute acids (woops, senile moment)
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.
