1. Making more salts
Baseline (Flightpath D): Safely make a salt by reacting a metal carbonate with a dilute acid. Write a general word equation for metal carbonates and alkalis reacting with dilute acids and use this to make specific word equations.
Further (Flightpath C&B Describe how to make a dry sample of a salt from reacting a metal carbonate or an alkali with a dilute acid.
Write balanced symbol equations for neutralisation reactions.
Challenge Flightpath A): Explain the reaction between ammonia and dilute acids to produce salts and the agricultural importance of the salts. Describe neutralisation using ionic equations, including the ionic equation for a carbonate plus an acid.

2. Use the following equations to generate a general word equation for the reaction.
a) sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid → sodium chloride water
KOH + HNO3 → KNO3 + H2O
OH− + H+ → H2O
acid + alkali → salt + water
b) calcium carbonate → calcium chloride + water hydrochloric acid carbon dioxide
CuCO3 + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2O + CO2
metal carbonate + acid → salt + carbon dioxide + water

3. Making a salt from a metal carbonate
Measure 20cm3 1 mol/dm3 hydrochloric acid into a 100cm3 beaker
Add ½ spatula magnesium carbonate and stir
Continue to add magnesium carbonate until there is no effervescence
Filter
Pour filtrate into evaporating basin
Heat until the point of crystallisation is reached
