Grade 10 2P Science Chemistry Outlines

Basic Concepts: to be covered & understood

• C3.1 describe the relationships between chemical formulae, composition, and names of simple compounds (e.g., carbon dioxide, CO₂, has one more oxygen atom than carbon monoxide, CO)
• C3.2 name and write the formulae for simple ionic and molecular compounds (e.g., NaCl, NaOH, H₂O, CO₂)
• C3.3 write word equations and balanced chemical equations for simple chemical reactions (e.g., 2H₂ + O₂ ➞ 2H₂O)
• C3.4 describe the process of neutralization for simple acid–base reactions (i.e., an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and often water)
• C3.5 describe how the pH scale is used to identify the concentration of acids and bases

Skills of Investigating & Communication

• C2.1 use appropriate terminology related to chemical reactions, including, but not limited to: antacid, dilute, neutralization, product, reactant, and word equation [C]
• C2.2 construct molecular models of simple chemical reactions (e.g., C + O₂ ➞ CO₂; 2H₂ + O₂ ➞ 2H₂O), and produce diagrams of these models [PR, C]
• C2.3 conduct and observe inquiries related to simple chemical reactions, including synthesis, decomposition, and displacement reactions, and represent them using a variety of formats (e.g., word equations, balanced chemical equations, molecular models) [PR, AI, C]
• C2.4 use an inquiry process to investigate the law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction (e.g., compare the values before and after the reaction), and account for any discrepancies [PR, AI]
• C2.5 use an inquiry process to investigate acid– base neutralization reactions (e.g., neutralize a dilute solution of sodium hydroxide with dilute hydrochloric acid and extract the sodium chloride produced) [PR, AI]
• C2.6 conduct an inquiry to classify some common substances as acidic, basic, or neutral (e.g., use acid–base indicators or pH strips to classify common household substances) [PR, AI]
• C2.7 investigate applications of acid–base reactions in common products and processes (e.g., compare the effectiveness of different brands of antacid tablets, using quantitative analysis) [PR, AI]
