What the questions test

  • Ideas from all five topics, often in a short scenario.
  • Short calculations: pH, dilutions, titrations, cell potentials, gas volumes and yield, with the options built from common slips.
  • Reading data: a table, an energy profile, a concentration-time graph or a titration curve.

Try 2 questions

Question 1
The energy profile diagram is for a reaction that, once started at room temperature, goes essentially to completion. Which statement best explains why the reverse reaction does not occur to any noticeable extent?
Question 2
What is the IUPAC name of the compound CH₃CH₂C(CH₃)=CH₂?
