HSC Chemistry
HSC Chemistry Section I multiple choice Twenty marks of multiple choice across all four modules. Read every option before you choose: the wrong ones are built from common slips.
What the questions test Concepts from Modules 5 to 8, often in a short scenario. Calculations: Keq, Ksp, pH, titrations and analysis results, with the options built from common slips. Reading data: a table, a graph, a titration curve or a spectrum. Try 2 questions Question 1
The graph shows the concentrations in a sealed vessel of fixed volume holding N₂O₄(g) ⇌ 2NO₂(g), ΔH = +57 kJ mol⁻¹. What change was made at 10 minutes?
A NO₂ was pumped into the vessel. B A catalyst was added. C The temperature was raised. D The temperature was lowered.
Question 2
What is the IUPAC name of the alkane with the condensed structural formula CH₃CH₂CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃?
A 2-ethylbutane B 1-ethyl-1-methylpropane C 3-methylpentane D 2-methylpentane
Questions people ask How long should I spend on Section I? About the share of the time its marks deserve: Section I is a fifth of the marks, so roughly 35 minutes of the 3 hours, less if you are quick.
