1
Chemical Changes
A student reacts 2.4 g of magnesium with excess dilute hydrochloric acid: Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2. Relative atomic mass of Mg = 24. Calculate the number of moles of hydrogen gas produced.
2
Reactivity, Acids and Salts
Explain the difference between a strong acid and a concentrated acid.
3
Electrolysis
Concentrated sodium chloride solution (brine) is electrolysed using inert electrodes. State the products formed at the cathode and at the anode.
4
Energy Changes
A reaction profile shows the reactants at 220 kJ and the products at 340 kJ. State whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
5
Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions
A student heats solid copper carbonate strongly in a test tube, and it breaks down into copper oxide and carbon dioxide. Heating must be continued throughout the reaction for it to keep going. State whether this thermal decomposition reaction is exothermic or endothermic, and explain your reasoning.

Your run is kept in this browser only, and there is no account.

Any date always gives the same five questions, so a sheet can be set again or shared. All of December 1995, including the monthly compilation PDF.
