For each question, there are four possible answers (A, B, C, and D). Choose the most appropriate answer and record your choice on the OMR answer sheet. 1 Statement 1: Hydrogen is used as a fuel. Statement 2: When hydrogen burns in the air to form water, heat energy is produced. Which of the following is correct? A Both statements are correct and statement 2 explains statement 1. B Both statements are correct but statement 2 does not explain statement 1. C Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect. D Statement 2 is correct but statement 1 is incorrect. 2 A sample of nitrogen gas contains the same number of atoms as found in 2.00 g of helium gas. What is the mass of the sample of nitrogen gas? A 2.00 g B 7.00 g C 14.0 g D 28.0 g 3 A metal M forms a chloride salt of formula MCl. What is the formula of the oxide of M? A MO B M2O C MO2 D M2O3 4 The diagram shows a match.

Cl2 + 2NaOH ⟶ NaClO + NaCl + H2O Which of the following statement is correct? A Chlorine is both reduced and oxidised. B Sodium hydroxide is both reduced and oxidised. C Chlorine is reduced and sodium hydroxide is oxidised. D Chlorine is oxidised and sodium hydroxide is reduced. 7 Acidified aqueous potassium iodide was added dropwise to a test tube of aqueous iron(II) chloride. Which of the following describes the observation? A Brown solution turns colourless. B Colourless solution turns brown. C Pale green solution turns yellow. D No observable reaction seen. 8 Limestone can be converted into slaked lime, Ca(OH)2, in two steps. 1 When limestone, CaCO3, is heated, it decomposes into lime, CaO. 2 Water is slowly dripped onto the cooled lime. The lime appears to expand and steam is produced. Ca(OH)2, is formed. Which row shows the correct description of the steps above? reaction 1 reaction 2 A endothermic endothermic B endothermic exothermic C exothermic endothermic D exothermic exothermic
