Every sheet in July 1969

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

  1. 1st July 1969Describe the symptoms of rose black spot and its effect on the plant.
  2. 2nd July 1969Name the hormone released when blood glucose concentration is too high, and state its overall effect.
  3. 3rd July 1969Define mutation.
  4. 4th July 1969Explain, in terms of electrons, why reactivity decreases going down Group 7.
  5. 5th July 1969Why did Mendeleev leave gaps in his table?
  6. 6th July 1969Calculate the mass of 0.25 mol of sodium hydroxide, NaOH. (Na = 23, O = 16, H = 1)
  7. 7th July 1969Explain, in terms of bonds, why breaking bonds is an endothermic process.
  8. 8th July 1969The forward reaction of a particular reversible reaction is exothermic. State whether the reverse reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
