Every sheet in May 1957

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st May 1957State three factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis.
  2. 2nd May 1957Explain why sweating cools the body down.
  3. 3rd May 1957The Arctic fox has small, rounded ears compared with the desert fennec fox, which has very large ears. State whether this is a structural, behavioural or functional adaptation, and explain how it helps the Arctic fox survive.
  4. 4th May 1957Explain, in terms of particle size, how reverse osmosis separates water from dissolved salt.
  5. 5th May 1957Write the formula of calcium chloride and explain the ratio.
  6. 6th May 1957Explain why aluminium cannot be extracted from aluminium oxide by heating with carbon.
  7. 7th May 1957Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form hydrogen chloride: H2 + Cl2 -> 2HCl. Use the bond energies given to calculate the overall energy change for this reaction. Bond energies: H-H = 436 kJ/mol, Cl-Cl = 243 kJ/mol, H-Cl = 432 kJ/mol.

  11. 11th May 1957Give the equation linking energy transferred, charge flow and potential difference.
  12. 12th May 1957Who provided the evidence for the existence of the neutron, and roughly when relative to the nuclear model?
  13. 13th May 1957A force of 40 N is applied 0.25 m from a pivot. Calculate the moment.
  14. 14th May 1957A rectangular coil carrying a current is placed in a magnetic field, with its two long sides parallel to each other. Explain why the coil rotates rather than moving in a straight line.
  15. 15th May 1957Why does taking repeat readings and calculating a mean improve the data?
