Complete Topic 2 fg: Acids, Alkalis, Preparing Salts Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry 9–1 Bundle 13 lessons

Bundle of 13 fully planned lessons and resources for Topic 2 fg Acids, Alkalis & Preparing Salts Edexcel IGCSE 9–1 Double/Separate Chemistry.

Checklist, key terms, definitions, tech guide, revision PowerPoint, coursebook questions and answers included. Perfect for new and experienced teachers, this resource provides an authentic, ready-to-teach unit requiring no additional preparation. All lessons are contained in one PowerPoint with a consistent, clear structure.

Lessons & Key Content:

1. Acids, Bases & Indicators – definitions, indicator colour changes, practical testing

2. The pH Scale & Strong/Weak Acids and Bases – including practical tasks exploring pH changes.

3. Neutralisation – ionic explanation (H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O); observing neutralisation; writing equations; practical tasks.

4. Neutralisation Equations – writing word, symbol and balanced equations for acid–base reactions

5. Balanced Neutralisation Equations – extended practice including bases, oxides, hydroxides and carbonates; use of state symbols.

6. Preparing a Pure, Dry Salt (Insoluble Base) – steps for reacting an acid with an excess insoluble base, filtering, crystallising and drying; explanation of each stage.

7. Acids & Carbonates – products (salt + water + CO₂); testing for CO₂; word and balanced equations; demonstrations.

8. Balanced Acid–Carbonate Equations – multi-step equation practice for a range of carbonate salts.

9. Acids & Metals – reactions producing hydrogen; pop test; writing and balancing equations; structured tasks.

10. Solubility of Salts & Precipitation – solubility rules; identifying precipitates; writing equations for precipitation reactions.

11. Preparing a Pure, Dry Precipitate (Separate Chemistry) – precipitation method; justification of each step; ionic equations.

12. Precipitation & Ionic Equations (Separate Chemistry) – extensive practice with common ions.

13. Titration Calculations (Separate Chemistry) – concentration calculations, concordant results, step-by-step titration calculations.

Revision Lesson – retrieval tasks, mind maps, exam questions, and structured review activities.

Each lesson includes starter slides with title, learning goals and tasks, along with key terms, bolded explanations, and content checked against the specification and examination papers. Core practicals or key demonstrations are included where relevant with step-by-step modelling, notes, diagrams and student tasks, blooket and quizzes. The PowerPoint features click-in animations, embedded video links, model questions and answers, and coursebook tasks to support strong conceptual understanding. Plenaries link back to learning goals. A technician guide and full lesson list appear on Slide 2 for easy planning.

Notes:
Slide 1 is repeated for TES display purposes.
Lesson starter slide background is black but PowerPoint colour schemes vary throughout.
Separate Chemistry content is clearly marked and distinguished from Double Award content.
