General knowledge
100

Give an example of a physical change

Freezing, melting, evaporating, condensing, subliming, deposition

100

Define redox in terms of oxygen

Oxidation is gain of oxygen, reduction is loss

100

What colour is anhydrous copper sulphate?

White

100

What is graphite used for and why?

Lubricant as the layers are able to slide due to weak forces of attraction

100

Which country has the largest population of Tigers?

India

200

Name the 5 factors that affect the rate of a reaction

Temperature, concentration, surface area, catalysts, pressure

200

Define redox reactions in terms of electrons (extended)

oxidation is loss, reduction is gain (OIL RIG)

200

Describe equilibrium in terms of rates of reaction

rate of forward and reverse reaction is equal

200

How many pairs of electrons are shared in a molecule of carbon dioxide?

4

200

Which athlete has the most medals in Olympic history?

Michael Phelps

300

Define what a catalyst is (according to extended level objectives)

Substance that speeds up the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy, but remains unchanged/is not used up at the end of the reaction

300

What is the oxidation state of an element?

zero

300

State the conditions for the Haber process (there are 3)

450°C, iron catalyst and 200 atm (20,000kPa)

300

How does the reactivity of Group 7 change down the group?

Become less reactive

300

How many hearts does an octopus have?

3

400

Give two methods that could be used to monitor the rate of reaction between a carbonate and an acid

Change in mass (from loss of carbon dioxide) or gas syringe to measure volume of gas

400

What is the oxidation state of a halide ion?

-1 (sign must be before value)

400

How does a catalyst alter the position of an equilibrium?

It does not affect equilibrium (speeds up forwards and reverse, reach equilibrium faster)

400

Name two greenhouse gases (from C10)

carbon dioxide and methane

400

What is the name of the monster in Stranger Things?

The Demogorgon

500

How does changing the concentration affect the rate of reaction, described in terms of collision theory.

Increased number of particles

More frequent, successful collisions

500

What is the oxidation state of manganese in the manganate ion MnO4-?

+7

500

What is the catalyst used in the contact process?

vanadium (V) oxide

500

What colour is barium in flame testing?

green
