Test For Carbon Dioxide
State the chemical reagent you would use to test for the presence of Carbon Dioxide in the laboratory and give its chemical formulae
Speed Of Reaction (Concentration)
Explain in molecular terms how the rate of reaction is affected by changing the concentrations of reactants
Acidic Gas

Buffer
What is the pH of a solution containing 0.10 mol/dm3 Citric Acid and 0.30 mol/dm3 Sodium Citrate? Citric Acid: Ka = 7.4 x 10^-4 mol/dm3
Isotopes
In a sample of 100 atoms of Boron, there are 20 atoms of Boron – 10 and 80 atoms of Boron – 11. (i) Explain why these two forms of Boron are isotopes? (ii) Calculate the relative atomic mass of
