Year 10 Chemistry: Lesson 6 -

Acids in chemical reactions

Chapter 6.3
 Learning intention and success criteria

LI:

● To understand the way acids react with different chemicals (focusing on bases, carbonates and
metals) including the reactants and products for each.

SC:

● I can describe and explain different types of reactions, giving an example of each:
○ neutralisation: produce salt and water
○ acids and carbonates: produce salt, water and carbon dioxide
○ acids and metals: produce salt and hydrogen gas

In 30 words write what you learnt from the previous video

 New info: What are acids and bases?

Acids are substances which lose their hydrogen atoms when dissolved into
water. These free hydrogens leave behind their electron and turn into positive
hydrogen ions, which are highly reactive. Stronger acids will lose more hydrogen
ions.

Bases are substances which lose an oxygen and hydrogen stuck together
(hydroxide) when dissolved in water. Hydroxide ions have an extra electron and
thus have a negative charge. These hydroxide ions are also highly reactive.
New info: Neutralisation
(acid + base → salt + water)

Acids lose a positive hydrogen ion.

Bases lose a negative hydroxide ion.

These ions then partner up to create a neutral water molecule and the rest of the acid and
base also combine into a salt (metal and non-metal compound).

Acid + carbonate → carbon dioxide + salt + water
New info:
Acid + metal → hydrogen gas + water
