Chemistry 1.4 Describe characteristic properties and reactions of metals, acids and bases

Subject content

You may be tested on:

  • metals – Li, Na, Ca, Mg, Al, Zn, Fe, Pb, Cu, Ag, and Au
  • characteristic properties and reactions of metals:
    • physical properties – electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, density, lustre, malleability, and ductility
    • relate the properties of metals to their uses
    • relate the relative reactivity of metals to their uses and method of extraction from their ores
    • observations and word/balanced equations for reactions of metals with oxygen, water, and acids.
  • acids – HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, CH3COOH
  • bases – metal oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, and hydrogen carbonates
  • characteristic properties and reactions of acids and bases:
    • effects on litmus and universal indicator
    • pH value
    • observations of reaction of acids with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates
    • naming products and writing word/balanced equations for reactions of acids with bases.
  • factors affecting rates of reaction. Explain in terms of collisions between particles:
    • concentration
    • temperature
    • surface area.
