Text from the first pagesThis document consists of 19 printed pages including the cover page and 1 blank page. NAME: CLASS: INDEX NO: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST NORTHLAND SECONDARY SCHOOL PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION Secondary Four Express CHEMISTRY 6092/01 Paper 1 Multiple Choice 31 August 2022 Additional Materials: Multiple Choice Answer Sheet 1 hour Setter: Mdm Kumari Vetter: Mdm Nilasari Write in soft pencil. Do not use staples, paper clips, glue or correction fluid. Write your class, index number and name on the Answer Sheet in the spaces provided unless this has been done for you. There are forty questions in this section. Answer all questions. For each question there are four possible answers A, B, C and D. Choose the one you consider correct and record your choice in soft pencil on the separate Answer Sheet. Each correct answer will score one mark. A mark will not be deducted for a wrong answer. Any rough working should be done in this booklet. A copy of the Periodic Table is printed on page 19. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate.
