I made an infographic about mrs gren, then turned it into an activity by removing the answers. 2 pages. Very simple, but quirky and therefore memorable. That’s my style.
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)
A worksheet for writing formulae of ionic compounds. Some explanation on the front, and plenty of examples to do on the back. The knowledge of the structure of ions is crucial to success in chemistry. In black and white for easy photocopying.
I have had to completely rework this in affinity publisher due to my own fault, a spelling mistake in quark express (a program which is of no use to me any more)
Sorry for anyone who bought it. I know to spell exercise. Really
Update: answers also provided and cosmetic improvement.
I do hope this is useful to someone.
I have made a simulation of the marble chips and acid experiment at four different concentrations of acid. Just double click on the “gas syringe.html” file and it will open in your web browser. You could use browser zoom controls to make it huge if you wish. Maybe take measurements of volume of gas evolved against time or just use to introduce the experiment or revise. ( the price for this could save your department many times in broken gas syringes.)
Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my resources are mini-web sites local to your computer. After unzipping, they comprise a folder containing the main .html file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the .html file and the resource will work. If, however , you move or delete any of the files from this hierarchy, the resource will not work.
