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

  1. 1st December 2024Write the formula of calcium chloride and explain the ratio.
  2. 2nd December 2024Calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide in 200 cm3 of a 0.500 mol/dm3 solution.
  3. 3rd December 2024Hydrogen 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.
