Acids and bases | Review my learning | 14–16 years

A set of differentiated worksheets to identify learning gaps and misconceptions on the topic of acids and bases. Editable with answers included.

The worksheets cover the following topics: the pH scale; the pH of acidic and alkaline solutions; common acids and alkalis; general word equations for the reactions of an acid with a metal, metal oxide, metal hydroxide and a metal carbonate; chemical formulas of common laboratory acids; types of salts produced from reactions with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid; universal and litmus indicators.

If learners successfully answer questions on these topics, they can attempt the extension questions. These cover: word equations for the reactions between an acid and a metal, metal oxide, metal hydroxide or metal carbonate; symbol equations for the reactions between an acid and a metal, metal oxide, metal hydroxide or metal carbonate.

The worksheets are ideal for learners studying GCSE and equivalent courses but can be used to check and review learning at any stage.
