Unit 9E: Reactions of metals and metal compounds

QCA

Resources

Resources include:

  • information about metals
  • cards showing names of acids, alkalis, metal carbonates, metal oxides and metals
  • cards showing names of salts that can be safely prepared
  • information about hazards of salts and starting materials for their preparation
  • two accounts of the preparation of a salt, one that effectively evaluates the method and product, eg mass, appearance of crystals, and one that does not
  • secondary sources providing information about the uses of salts
