أسئلة أصلية كتبها مدرّسو Studoli بأسلوب امتحان WAEC (WASSCE). ليست أسئلة رسمية.
الموضوع: Atomic structure
1. How many neutrons are in an atom of sodium with mass number 23 and atomic number 11?
الحل
B. 12
- Neutrons = mass number − atomic number.
- 23 − 11 = 12.
الموضوع: Atomic structure
2. What is the electronic configuration of oxygen (atomic number 8)?
الحل
B. 2, 6
- The first shell holds up to 2 electrons.
- The remaining 6 go into the second shell: 2, 6.
الموضوع: Periodic table
3. Which of these is an alkali metal?
الحل
C. Potassium
- Alkali metals are in Group 1.
- Potassium is in Group 1; calcium is Group 2, aluminium Group 3 and iron is a transition metal.
الموضوع: Mole concept
4. What is the molar mass of H₂SO₄? (H = 1, S = 32, O = 16)
الحل
C. 98 g/mol
- (2 × 1) + 32 + (4 × 16).
- 2 + 32 + 64 = 98 g/mol.
الموضوع: Mole concept
5. How many moles are in 4 g of sodium hydroxide, NaOH? (Na = 23, O = 16, H = 1)
الحل
A. 0.1 mol
- Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol.
- Moles = mass ÷ molar mass = 4 ÷ 40 = 0.1 mol.
الموضوع: Acids and bases
6. A solution has a hydrogen ion concentration of 10⁻³ mol/dm³. What is its pH?
الحل
B. 3
- pH = −log₁₀[H⁺].
- −log₁₀(10⁻³) = 3, so the solution is acidic.
الموضوع: Acids and bases
7. Which gas is produced when zinc reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid?
الحل
C. Hydrogen
- Metal + acid gives a salt and hydrogen.
- Zn + 2HCl gives ZnCl₂ + H₂.
الموضوع: Organic chemistry
8. Hydrocarbons with the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ are called
الحل
C. alkanes
- Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with the formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, for example methane, CH₄.
- Alkenes are CₙH₂ₙ and alkynes are CₙH₂ₙ₋₂.
الموضوع: Redox
9. In terms of electrons, oxidation is
الحل
B. loss of electrons
- Remember OIL RIG: oxidation is loss, reduction is gain of electrons.
الموضوع: Separation techniques
10. Which method is used to obtain pure water from salt solution?
الحل
B. Distillation
- Distillation boils the water off and condenses the vapour back into pure water.
- The salt stays behind. Filtration cannot remove dissolved salt.
