Part A Knowledge of subject matter Part A assesses knowledge of subject matter and its simple application based on the eight topics in the Chemistry Senior External Syllabus 1998 (amended 2006). Part A is worth 80 marks. Suggested time allocation: 1 hour 50 minutes. Section 1 Multiple choice Section 1 has 10 questions worth 1 mark each. Attempt all questions. Each question contains four options. Select the option that you think is correct or is the best option. Respond on the multiple-choice response sheet. Question 1 A pure substance is found to be a good conductor of electricity in both its solid and liquid phases. The bonding in the substance is A B C D ionic. metallic. covalent network. covalent molecular. Question 2 Which one of the following groups contains the same number of electrons? A Li, Be, B B F, Ne, Na C Cl, Ar, K + D O 2, S 2, P 3 Question 3 Which statement about elements in groups 1 and 2 of the periodic table is correct? A B C D They can only become positively charged and form strong covalent molecules. They can form positive ions because they have loosely held valence electrons. They can only gain electrons to form positive ions or a strong metallic lattice. They form negative ions because they have few valence electrons. 1
Question 4 Which change would have the least effect on the rate of reaction between a piece of magnesium metal and 0.01 M hydrochloric acid? A Doubling the temperature of the hydrochloric acid. B Changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid to 2.00 M. C D Using magnesium powder rather than a piece of magnesium. Using tap water rather than distilled water in preparing the hydrochloric acid. Question 5 Gases are more easily compressed than liquids or solids. This is because A B C D gas molecules undergo elastic collisions with the walls of a container. gas molecules move with much greater velocities than the molecules of liquids and solids. the average distance between gas molecules is much greater than that between particles in liquids or solids. attractive forces between gas molecules are much larger than those between particles in solids and liquids.

Question 7 In an endothermic reaction, the A B C D products will have lower enthalpy. reactants release heat and therefore have lower enthalpy. heat of reaction is negative as the products have lower energy. reactants absorb heat and therefore the reaction container would feel cold.
