1. What happens when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate?
WALT: Predict the products formed when different acids react with metal carbonates

2. + a gas that you will find out Salt + Water
Examples of metal carbonates are copper carbonate and calcium carbonate
+ a gas that you will find out
Salt +
Water

3. React copper carbonate and sulphuric acid
Write a prediction of the name of the salt that you think will be formed
Write a prediction of the gas that you think will be formed (remember you have reacted marble chips (calcium carbonate) and acid twice before).

4. When finished…. Draw a diagram Write a method
Write some observations about what happened Write out the equation for the reaction
Complete the following equations:
Sodium carbonate + hydrochloric acid
Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid
Magnesium carbonate + nitric acid

5. Sherbert
The fizz produced in sherbet is a reaction between a food acid and a carbonate.
The ingredients dissolve in your mouth and react with each other producing the carbon dioxide fizz.
