Lesson 10
Burning Magnesium
Learning Intention: Justify when a chemical reaction has occurred and how the amount of mass is conserved.
Success Criteria
11. I can explain when a chemical reaction has occured.
13. I can write a symbolic equation and balance it.
14. I can explain conservation of mass.
Learning Tasks
Do Now: Using your table of ions, write the ionic formulas for the following ionic compound. iron (iii) chloride, magnesium hydroxide, aluminium oxide. Ms Garlick recommends that you use the ionic compound simulation to help you figure out the ionic ratios.
Listen to Ms Garlick give instructions for the burning magnesium experiment.
Fill in your observations and explanations on the Burning Magnesium Experiment Google Doc.
Homework
Email Ms Garlick the answer to the following question.
If matter cannot be created or destroyed, why does the mass on magnesium increase when it is burned?
