Topic Reactions of acids Level GCSE (or any course for students aged 11-16) Outcomes To plan and out an investigation to identify metal carbonates, metals, metal hydroxides and metal oxides using reactions of acids. Reactions of acids: you investigate! The Challenge You have been given four different solid substances labelled A,B,C and D. You need to use your knowledge of reactions of acids to carry out some chemical tests to identify which substance is: Sodium carbonate Magnesium powder Copper (II) oxide Magnesium hydroxide Brainstorm Before you begin the experiment, you need to think about what products are made when acids react with the four substances in the table below. Substance Products made when the How could you test for substance reacts with HCl these products?
