Can you combust
metals?
Answer
Metals react with Oxygen in the air to produce
metal oxides. Metal oxides are bases, they
react with acids and neutralize them. Some
metal oxides dissolve in water and produce
alkaline solutions.

Mass
Mass is the measurement of the
amount of matter that an object is
made of. We measure mass in
grams(g).

Conservation of mass
When a chemical reaction Zinc Oxygen Zinc
occurs, we always end
with the same amount of
3g
+ 0.6g
Oxide
_____g
matter as we start with.
Matter cannot be created
or destroyed. So, if we
react 3g of zinc with 0.6
grams of oxygen, how
much zinc oxide will we
have?

Fact or Fiction?
Read through the following statements and write down all of the
correct ones.
Matter cannot be destroyed or created.
Oxidation is when a substance joins with carbon dioxide
When a chemical reaction occurs the reactants at the start
should have the same mass as the products at the end.
Matter cannot be destroyed but can be created.
Air has mass.

Writing Conclusions
Write a conclusion (Results summary) of the Magnesium
oxide experiment. Try to include all aspects of the success
criteria.
Success Criteria
• Very brief description of what happened in the experiment.
• Word equation for the chemical reaction.
• List of results and an explanation of why the magnesium
gained mass.
• Methods of improving experiment/results.
