|
Acids react with some metals to produce salts and hydrogen. |
|
What are the products when acids react with metals? starter: ask students to recall the basic metal acid equation from year 8. Provide some visual hints and/or keywords to sort if needed. |
|
|
|
(HT only) Students should be able to explain in terms of gain or loss of electrons, that these are redox reactions |
|
(HT only) What type of reaction occurs when acids react with metals? Tell students that the name of this reaction is another example of a redox reaction. Ask students to call what happens during a redox reaction. |
|
|
|
Knowledge of reactions limited to those of magnesium, zinc and iron with hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. |
|
Aim: How does the type of acid effect the salt formed?
DV either gas produced or temperature change.
1. Students list factors that could affect the type of salt formed in a circle map.
2. Students identify what will be their IV and DV in their circle map using BLUE for IV and RED for DV.
3. Students then circle any other factors in black as the CVs
4. Draw a simple results table
5. Carry out the practical.
different groups test different metals and share results |

Students should be able to identify which species are oxidised and which are reduced in given chemical equations. (HT only) |
|
(HT only) In a reaction between copper (II) oxide and carbon, where does each of oxidation and reduction happen? for each reaction carried out in the practical students should complete the word, symbol or half equations to show how they are redox reactions.
Students doing the stretch or challenge task should identify on their equations which species of oxidised and which is reduced.
Stretch - complete word equations
Challenge - complete balanced symbol equations
Super Challenge - complete balanced half equations |
