Sample HSC Year 11 Chemistry questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show HSC Year 11 Chemistry particle models, bonding, stoichiometry, reaction profiles, rates, and acid-base data with diagrams, tables, curves, and spectra before opening the demo.

HSC Year 11 Chemistry Bonding hard Lewis structure

1. A Lewis diagram for carbon dioxide shows O=C=O. How many shared electron pairs are in each C=O bond?

HSC 11 carbon dioxide Lewis structure O C double
Choices
  • Two shared pairs
  • One shared pair
  • No shared pairs
  • Four lone pairs on carbon
Explanation:

A double bond consists of two shared electron pairs between the bonded atoms.

HSC Year 11 Chemistry Reactions hard particle model

2. A particle model shows 3 mol H2 mixed with 1 mol O2 for 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O. Which reactant is left over after complete reaction?

HSC 11 limiting particle model 3 H2 1 O2 excess H2
Choices
  • H2
  • O2
  • H2O
  • No atoms remain
Explanation:

One mole of O2 reacts with 2 mol H2, leaving 1 mol H2 unreacted.

HSC Year 11 Chemistry Quantitative chemistry hard stoichiometry table

3. A table uses molar mass 100.1 g mol^-1 for calcium carbonate. What amount is present in a 25.0 g sample?

HSC 11 calcium carbonate mole table 25.0 g 100.1 n
Choices
  • 0.250 mol
  • 4.00 mol
  • 2500 mol
  • 75.1 mol
Explanation:

Use n = m / M. 25.0 / 100.1 = 0.2497..., which rounds to 0.250 mol.

HSC Year 11 Chemistry Energy profiles hard reaction profile

4. A reaction profile marks reactants at 40 kJ mol^-1 and the activated complex at 95 kJ mol^-1. What is the activation energy?

HSC 11 activation energy profile 40 95 Ea
Choices
  • 55 kJ mol^-1
  • 40 kJ mol^-1
  • 95 kJ mol^-1
  • 135 kJ mol^-1
Explanation:

Activation energy is the energy gap from reactants to the peak: 95 - 40 = 55 kJ mol^-1.

HSC Year 11 Chemistry Acids hard pH scale

5. Sample A has pH 3 and sample B has pH 6. How many times greater is the hydrogen ion concentration in A?

HSC 11 acid strength pH scale pH 3 pH 6 H+
Choices
  • 1000 times
  • 3 times
  • 100 times
  • 0.001 times
Explanation:

The pH difference is 3, so the hydrogen ion concentration differs by 103.

HSC Year 11 Chemistry Molecular polarity hard bond-polarity diagram

6. A polarity diagram for ammonia shows N-H bond dipoles pointing toward nitrogen. What does this show?

HSC 11 ammonia bond polarity H N d- d+
Choices
  • Nitrogen is more electronegative.
  • Hydrogen is the only negative atom.
  • The molecule contains ions only.
  • The N-H bond is metallic.
Explanation:

Bond dipoles point toward the atom attracting the bonding electrons more strongly.

For parents comparing HSC Year 11 Chemistry support

HSC Year 11 Chemistry practice should help students connect chemical reasoning to visible evidence: particle models, bonding, stoichiometry, reaction profiles, rates, and acid-base data. These examples preview that visual reasoning before the no-login Chemistry demo.
