Reactivity Series

Select suitable reactants and predict the products for preparing a named salt from an acid reacting with a metal, metal oxide, metal carbonate, or alkali, using neutralisation and rock-salt examples where relevant.

Construct balanced chemical equations for reactivity and salt-making reactions to demonstrate that chemical reactions rearrange atoms without creating or destroying them.

Classify reactions as exothermic or endothermic from temperature or energy-transfer evidence and explain the direction of energy transfer.
