Which diagram represents a change of state in which the energy of the particles is lost?
The diagram shows the structure of an atom.
Which atom is represented by the diagram?

X is a covalently bonded compound made from the elements chlorine and oxygen.
Which 'dot and cross' diagram shows the arrangement of outer shell electrons in a molecule of X?
The temperature of dilute hydrochloric acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide are measured separately.
The two solutions are mixed and the temperature of the mixture increases.
Which row describes the type and the energy transfer of the reaction?


Chemical Z is a powerful reducing agent.
Which statement about Z is correct?
Turmeric is an example of a natural indicator.
This solution turns red when an alkali or base is added but remains yellow if an acid is added.
Turmeric solution is added to a sample of liquid soap, pH 8, and to vinegar, pH 3.
Which colours are observed?

The solubility of some salts in water is shown.
Which aqueous solutions are mixed to prepare an insoluble salt?

Which row shows the order of reactivity of W, X, Y and Z?

80 cm3 of dry air measured at room temperature is passed generally over heated copper using the apparatus shown.
The heated copper reacts with oxygen to form copper(II) oxide.
After the reaction is complete, the air remaining is allowed to cool to room temperature.
What is the volume of air remaining?
