Section A · multiple choice

  1. 1.

    The reaction 4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃ is an example of:

    1. a decomposition reaction
    2. a combination reaction
    3. a double displacement reaction
    4. a displacement reaction
    Answer

    (b) a combination reaction

    two or more substances combine to form one product

  2. 2.

    Which of these chemical equations is correctly balanced?

    1. 2AgCl → 2Ag + 2Cl₂
    2. 2AgCl → 3Ag + Cl₂
    3. 2AgCl → 2Ag + Cl₂
    4. 3AgCl → 2Ag + Cl₂
    Answer

    (c) 2AgCl → 2Ag + Cl₂

    count each kind of atom on both sides

  3. 3.

    A reaction in which heat is given out is called:

    1. decomposition
    2. endothermic
    3. displacement
    4. exothermic
    Answer

    (d) exothermic

Section B · short answer

  1. 4.

    Balance the equation: Cl₂ + KBr → KCl + Br₂

    Answer

    Cl₂ + 2KBr → 2KCl + Br₂

    make the atoms of each element equal on both sides

  2. 5.

    How many atoms of oxygen are there in 4C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁?

    Answer

    44

    11 in one unit × 4

Section C · long answer

  1. 6.

    A shiny brown element X turns black when heated in air. Name X and the black compound, and write the balanced equation.

    Answer

    X is copper and the black compound is copper(II) oxide: 2Cu + O₂ → 2CuO.
