Cooking vs Chemistry

Chemistry is like cooking ... just don't lick the spoon.

Cooking can be used to help students understand fundamental chemical concepts, like chemical equations and stoichiometry.

Chemical Equations for Equilibrium Reactions

 

When do you use single arrow → in a chemical equation and when do you use a double-headed arrow ⇌ in a chemical equation?

AUS-e-TUTE Members should log-in to use the new Writing Chemical Equations for Equilibrium Reactions tutorial, game, test and exam with worked solutions.

acid + base

When an acid and a base are mixed together they react to produce a salt and water.
The general word equation for this type of acid-base reaction is:

acid + base → salt + water

But can you write the word equation for the reaction between a specific acid, for example hydrochloric acid , and specific base, say sodium hydroxide?

AUS-e-TUTE is here to help!

We've just added new learning resources; a tutorial, game, test and exam to help our members write acid + base word equations. We even have a worksheet wizard that lets teachers make their own printable worksheet or quiz on this topic.

Word Equations for Chemical Reactions

A word equation is Chemistry short-hand for describing how new substances can be made using an initial substance (or substances).
The initial substances are called reactants.
The new substances formed are called products.
The most general form of a word equation is:

reactants  →   products

AUS-e-TUTE has just added a new tutorial, game and test to help our members understand and use word equations. Members should log-in to the Test Centre to use these resources.

A "free-to-view" tutorial on word equations is currently available for non-members to access at
