A: PAPER 1 2015

Questions

Q1: Bonding / Shapes of Molecules, Electron Pair Repulsion

Kicks of with a classic LOR on shapes of molecules followed by 3 short ones

Walkthrough

Q2: Period 3 Chemistry
Q3: Electrochemistry
Q4: Enthalpy & Equilibria, Kp Calculation

Mixed bag of enthalpy and equilibria. A really important big Kp calc here too!

Walkthrough

Q5: Enthalpy & Entropy

Use enthalpy & entropy data to find ΔG, rearrange to find the temp. at which it becomes feasible with a bonus IMF diagram

Walkthrough

Q6: Acids & Bases

Tricky pH curve question plus you have to use Kw and Ka in the follow up questions

Walkthrough

Q7: REDOX Calculation, REDOX

Mainly about the REDOX reactions of vanadium. Great big calc using the ideal gas equation

Walkthrough

Q8: Transition Metals

Wonderful question on TM complex substitution reactions and the chelate effect

Walkthrough

Q9: Lattice Enthalpy

Highly practical based question focusing on enthalpy change linking into lattice enthalpy

Walkthrough

Q10: Inorganic Ion Testing

Classic!! Use chemical tests to identify inorganic ions and write the equations for the precipitation reactions
