Higher Chemistry practice questions by area
Original questions for every area, with worked answers on the multiple choice and calculations, and feedback on your written answers.
| Multiple choice | Section 1 style, worked or timed |
|---|---|
| Section 2 questions | Calculations, choices and written parts |
| Open-ended questions | 3 marks, one written answer |
| Written answers | Read against the mark points, with your next step |
How the practice works
Multiple-choice questions show the working after each answer. In Section 2 questions a calculation is checked on its value and its significant figures, and Mia reads each written answer against its mark points and says what it covers and what to add next. She never shows a mark or writes the answer for you.

Question 3
| Concentration (mol l⁻¹) | Reaction time (s) |
|---|---|
| 0.10 | 120 |
| 0.20 | 60 |
| 0.40 | 30 |
A student times how long a reaction takes to produce a colour change at three concentrations of one reactant, keeping everything else the same. From the results in the table, predict the reaction time at 0.30 mol l⁻¹.
Question 4
Which gas should be collected in a gas syringe rather than over water?
