Chemical Reactions

Virginia SOL CHII.5

Investigate and understand that chemical reactions are predictable and quantifiable.

What students need to be able to do

  • Develop and use a model to explain changes in matter using balanced equations (chemical, ionic, and net ionic).
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about the classification of reactions as oxidation-reduction (redox) or non-redox reactions.
  • Predict the products of chemical reactions.
  • Plan and conduct investigations related to chemical reactions.
  • Perform stoichiometric calculations to determine the amounts of reactants and products.
