A substance that reacts with an acid to form a compound called a salt.

A way of describing a substance that does dissolve in a particular solvent.

A way of describing a substance that does not dissolve in a particular solvent.

A basic compound which contains an ion comprising of an oxygen and a hydrogen atom (OH⁻).

A chemical reaction between an acid and base to produce a neutral solution including a salt and water.

Acid-base reactions (carbonates as bases)

Chemistry

In the Electrolysis unit, pupils will build on their understanding of chemical reactions to explore the process of electrolysis and its applications.

In the Acids and Bases unit, pupils learned about the properties of acids, bases, and alkalis, and the reactions between them to form salts and water.

This unit explores empirical formulae, balanced chemical and ionic equations, gas identification, acid reactions, and pH as a measure of hydrogen ion concentration. It covers separation techniques and focuses on planning experiments, accurate measurements, safety, and communicating findings.

Making salts
