Aiming for Grade 4 LOs:

• 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.

Aiming for Grade 6 LOs:

• 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.

Aiming for Grade 8 LOs:
