QUESTION BANK
8 December 2021
BY Amatullah Chiosa
Often students are faced with a blockage in many questions in semester 2 due to the
inaccessibility of the set of instructions which ultimately make it easy to comprehend questions.
Chemistry is often disguised as a subject that requires much understanding and a lot of
memorizing, yet this is not the case for many of the top achievers. Top achievers compress their
understanding into a simple set of instructions that they use. Fortunately, this set of instructions
are found and explained in this document. With the help of this document, an understanding can
be established which will assist in the test on the 8th of December. The format and content of this
document falls within the guidelines of the test and will help you prepare for paper 2
accordingly.
CONCEPTS COVERED
Additional aspect of equilibria-chapter 17
Thermochemistry-chapter 5
Thermodynamics-chapter 19
Electrochemistry-chapter 20
These concepts are covered in very little detail:
✓ Chemical kinetics-chapter 14
✓ Chemical equilibrium-chapter 15
✓ Acids and bases equilibrium-chapter 16
, This document includes:
➢ 25 multiple choice questions
➢ Full explanation for each question
Test strategies for multiple choice questions
➢ Answer easy questions first
➢ Hide the options, read the stem, and try to answer
➢ Treat each option as a true-false question and choose the “most true”.
➢ Always guess when there is no penalty ➢ Practice as much as possible before the test
➢ Take a guess when you’re stuck, never leave a question unanswered
➢ One helping strategy for learning the key chemistry concepts that will show up on the test is
to make association between terms and concepts.
➢ In certain questions on the exam, the test writers ill obscure the information in the question to
make it harder to read. It’s simple, really. Just take a deep breathe. And rephrase the question
➢ Most questions require you to use the process of elimination. This is the most important
strategy because it invokes deciding what the bad answers are and crossing them off, instead of
just looking for the right answer.
