AtL
Students should…
  • Understand that acid is a general term for a group of chemicals

  • be able to use and predict the effect of indicators on acids and bases.

  • be able to recall the three mineral acids with their formulae and state the salts formed by them.

  • recognise the presence of the H+ ion as the cause of acidity and the OH- ion as the cause of basicity

  • understand the use of moles in calculation of concentration

  • recall and construct equations for the four common reactions of acids.

  • work with care and recognise the dangers associated with corrosive substances.
