Chemical Reactions
A. Identify a chemical change. (MOCLE 1.1.G.a)
1. Classify the type of chemical reaction as synthesis, decomposition,
single replacement, double replacement, and combustion.
2. Predict the products of a chemical reaction using the activity series
of metals and solubility rules.
B. Apply the Law of Conservation of Mass to writing and balancing
chemical equations. (MOCLE 1.1.I.a, b)
1. Represent a chemical equation in words and formulas.
2. Balance a chemical equation using the Law of Conservation of
Mass.
