What do I need to know…? | ☹ | 😐 | ☺ | |
Identify groups and periods on the periodic table. | ||||
Recall that the pH scale is a measure of how acidic a substance is. Acids have a pH of less than 7 and alkalis have a pH of more than 7. | ||||
Recall the general equations: Acid + Alkali → salt + Water, Acid + Metal → Metal salt + Hydrogen | ||||
Predict the names of common salts | ||||
State some common acids | ||||
Fully label a pH scale | ||||
State the products of combustion of a fuel. | ||||
State what a catalyst is used for | ||||
State the meaning of thermal decomposition. | ||||
Predict the pH of a solution from experimental results using indicators | ||||
Describe how elements are arranged on the periodic table | ||||
Describe the tests used to identify the presence of different gases, such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide. | ||||
Describe a method for how to make a neutral solution from an acid and alkali. | ||||
Explain how Mendeleev created his periodic table | ||||
Write word equations for chemical reactions, particularly reacts of acids. | ||||
Design an experiment using indicators to identify acids and alkalis | ||||
Explain why a catalyst is used. | ||||
Deduce symbol equations for basic chemical reactions. | ||||
Determine the word equation for the thermal decomposition of a metal carbonate. | ||||
