June 2014 - GCSE Science 5-a-day
Every GCSE Science sheet published in June 2014, with answers. Biology, chemistry and physics recall, definition and calculation, drawn from every strand.
Every sheet in June 2014
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st June 2014Give one everyday example of an endothermic process.
- 2nd June 2014The forward reaction of a particular reversible reaction is exothermic. State whether the reverse reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
- 3rd June 2014Why must dilute nitric acid be added before silver nitrate solution when testing for a halide ion?
- 4th June 2014State the equation for work done.
- 5th June 2014A current of 2.0 A flows through a resistor for 30 s. Calculate the charge that flows. Use Q = I x t.
- 6th June 2014State the relationship between pressure and volume for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature.
- 7th June 2014State what the gradient of a distance-time graph represents.
- 8th June 2014Explain why ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays can be hazardous to human health, but radio waves are not.
- 9th June 2014Explain, in terms of forces, why a satellite in a stable orbit does not fall towards the Earth or fly off into space.
- 10th June 2014Where in a plant are stem cells found?
- 11th June 2014Name the process by which dissolved sugars are transported in the phloem.
- 12th June 2014Why is photosynthesis described as endothermic?

- 16th June 2014State the size range of a nanoparticle.
- 17th June 2014Why is aluminium extracted by electrolysis rather than by reduction with carbon?
- 18th June 2014Explain, using collision theory, why increasing the concentration of a reactant in solution increases the rate of a reaction.
- 19th June 2014State what happens to the carbon-to-carbon double bond of an alkene monomer during addition polymerisation.
- 20th June 2014Explain, in terms of gas molecules, why methane and water vapour, as well as carbon dioxide, are described as greenhouse gases.
- 21st June 2014What happens to the energy described as 'wasted' in a transfer?
