Instructions and answers for teachers
-------------------------------------
These instructions cover the learner activity section which can be
found on page 8. This Lesson Element supports OCR AS and A Level
Chemistry A.
When distributing the activity section to the learners either as a
printed copy or as a Word file you will need to remove the teacher
instructions section.
The Activity
This Lesson Element is a teaching and learning resource containing 10
multiple choice questions (MCQs) on the theme of physical chemistry.
Some questions might require synoptic thinking, using knowledge and
ideas from various topics across the full A Level content.
This resource can be used to test and consolidate understanding at the
end of a topic or to revisit and refresh knowledge at a later point in
the course.
Learning Outcomes
This lesson element relates to the specification learning outcomes
3.2.1(d), 3.2.1(e), 3.2.1(f), 3.2.1(g), 3.2.2(a), 3.2.2(c), 3.2.2(d),
3.2.2(f), 3.2.2(g), 3.2.3(a), 3.2.3(b), 3.2.3(c), 3.2.3(f).
Introduction
Multiple choice questions allow rapid coverage of a wide range of
sub-topics.
Contrary to a widespread belief among students, multiple choice
questions are not necessarily easy – they can be easy, moderate or
difficult.
The questions are written so that the incorrect answers are plausible
distractors based on common errors or misconceptions.
The questions in this quiz cover topics mainly from specification
sections:

Incorrect, this is known as standard pressure.
C
100 atm
Correct answer. 1 atmosphere is approximately 100 kPa.
D
1 mol dm–3 solutions
Incorrect, this is a condition most commonly seen in
electrochemical cells.
C
Your answer
2. Which is the equivalent to the formation of carbon dioxide?
A
combustion of hydrogen(g)

complete combustion of carbon(s)
Correct answer. Formed from its elements in their standard
states, identical to CO2 formation.
C
complete combustion of propane(l)
Incorrect, this forms carbon dioxide and water.
D
incomplete combustion of propane(g)
Incorrect, this forms carbon monoxide and water.
B
Your answer
3. 15 g of octane is burned and used to heat 50 cm3 of water by 15 oC.
What is the amount of energy transferred to the water?
Assume a water density of 1 g cm–3 and a specific heat capacity of
4.18 J g–1 K–1.
A
940.5 J
Incorrect, learners have used the mass of octane, not the mass
of water heated.
B
3135 J
Correct answer, 50 × 4.18 × 15 = 3135 J
C
940.5 kJ
As above but they have also used the incorrect units.
D
3135 kJ
Incorrect, they have misinterpreted the units in the equation.
B
Your answer
4. Use the bond enthalpies to determine the ∆cH for methane.

A
–1664 kJ mol–1
Incorrect, they have not accounted for 2 O=O bonds.
B
–744 kJ mol–1
Incorrect, they have not fully balanced or accounted for the
number of molecules.
C
–668 kJ mol–1
Correct answer, ((4 × 410) + (2 × 298)) – ((2 × 732) + (4 ×
460)).
D

Incorrect, they have not accounted for 4 O–H bonds.
C
Your answer
5. Which reaction is not used to make a Hess cycle for the following
reaction?
C2H4(g) + H2O(l)  C2H5OH(l)
A
∆fH ethanol
Incorrect, this is needed for the Hess cycle. ∆fH ethanol – ∆fH
ethane – ∆cH hydrogen = ∆rH.
B
∆cH ethene
Correct answer.
C
∆cH hydrogen
Incorrect, this needed for the Hess cycle.
D
∆fH ethene
Incorrect, this needed for the Hess cycle.
B
Your answer
6. Which does not increase rate by affecting the number or nature of
collisions?
A
adding a catalyst
Correct answer. This decreases Ea rather than affecting the
number of collisions.
B
increasing the pressure
Incorrect, higher pressure means more collisions.
C
increasing the surface area
Incorrect, greater surface area means more collisions.
D
increasing the temperature
Incorrect, this increases number of collisions and the collision
energy.
A
Your answer
7. What is the meaning of a heterogeneous catalyst?
A
A catalyst which stays the same throughout the reaction.
Incorrect.
B
A catalyst which changes throughout the reaction.
Incorrect, a catalyst is not used up by the reaction.
C
A catalyst in the same state as the reactants.
Incorrect, homo = same, they have remembered the name
incorrectly.
A catalyst in a different state to the reactants.
Correct answer, iron in the Haber process is an example.
Your answer
8 . What does the shaded area represent?
A
The number of additional molecules which are likely to react at
a higher temperature.
Correct answer.
B
The number of molecules which are likely to react at a lower
temperature.
Incorrect. They may have mixed up which curve represents high
and low temperature.
C
The number of additional molecules which are likely to react in
the presence of a catalyst.
Incorrect. A catalyst question comes up commonly but will show
two Ea lines.
D
The number of additional molecules which are likely to react in
the presence of a catalyst at higher temperature.
Incorrect.
A
Your answer
9. Which does not describe a reaction at equilibrium?
A
Forward and backward reactions occur at equal rate.
Incorrect.
B
The system must be closed.
Incorrect, additional reactants or products will disrupt
equilibrium.
C
Kc increases as the reaction progresses.
Correct answer, Kc is constant while temperature is maintained.
D
Concentrations of reactants and products are constant.
Incorrect. Concentrations are constant because forward and
backward reactions are equal.
C
Your answer
10. Which statement(s) is/are true regarding the reaction below?
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) ∆H = –92 kJ mol–1
1) An increase in pressure will increase the rate and shift the
equilibrium to the right.
2) An increase in temperature will increase the rate and shift the
equilibrium to the right.
3) A catalyst will increase the rate and shift the equilibrium to the
right.
A
1,2 and 3
Incorrect.
B
only 1 and 2
1 is true, but increasing temperature will move the equilibrium
to the left.
C
only 2 and 3
A catalyst has no effect on the position of the equilibrium.
D
only 1
Correct answer, increased pressure increases rate for gases and
moves the equilibrium towards the side with fewest moles of gas.
D
