Chemical Reactions & Equations
Learning Outcomes1. Apply knowledge of elements and compounds to construct a simple word equation for a synthesis reaction.
2. Conduct an inquiry to determine how metals react with acids. 3. Compare the effectiveness of rust-prevention techniques by analyzing data collected during an experiment. 4. Conduct an inquiry to compare the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products in a chemical reaction in both open and closed systems. 5. Discuss whether the law of conservation of mass can be applied to chemical reactions. 6. Classify common substances as acid, base, or neutral by observing reactions with an indicator. 7. Design and conduct an inquiry to determine what happens to an indictor when various amounts of acids and bases are mixed. 8. Construct word equations for neutralization reactions. 9. Analyze data from an inquiry to determine how the concentration of an acid or base affects a neutralization reaction. ActivitiesComplete online lesson 9: Chemical Reactions
