Lesson 3 Oxidation
Oxidation
happens?
ox-i-day-shun
When a substance (metal or
non-metal) reacts with oxygen
to form an oxide.

Write and complete the following equations in your class book.
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.
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.
Oxidation
Developing: Describe oxidation reactions of metals and non-metals.
Secure: Explain changes in mass seen in oxidation reactions.
Exceeding: Compare how phlogiston and oxygen explain combustion.
