Science 1.5 Demonstrate understanding of aspects of acids and bases
Key tips
- Make sure you use correct symbols/formulae for the acids, bases and other chemicals required
- Practise writing the formulae for metal compounds using the ion chart provided
- Learn the general products for the reactions of the different acids and bases that are required
- Practise writing word and balanced symbol equations for these reactions
- When explaining changes to reaction rates, make sure you refer to the frequency of particle collisions rather than just the number of collisions. It is the number of collisions within a particular time period (e.g per second) that affects reaction rate – this is what frequency means.
