Hinge Point Questions
Hi,
I hope you find these hinge point questions useful. They are
aimed at National 5 Chemistry in Scotland, which is about the
same level as KS4 or GCSE.
Please feel free to adapt them for your own use. I have written
them for the areas I feel my pupils struggle with most.
Some are straightforward one right answer, others have more
than one correct answer, while others are aimed to promote
ideas and discussion.
The graph shows the rate
of reaction of 20cm3 1M
HCl with 0.5g Mg.
Which of these graphs shows the reaction of 20cm3 2M HCl
with 0.25g Mg?
Which of these is the correct formula for
ammonium sulphate?
• A) (NH3)2SO4
• B) (NH4)2SO4
• C) NH3SO4
• D) (NH4)(SO4)2
A teacher asks the class to describe why
atoms are neutral. Which answer is best?
a) The particles in the atom cancel out.
b) Atoms have protons and electrons in the nucleus,
which cancel out.
c) The neutrons make them neutral.
d) Atoms have the same number of protons and
electrons which cancel out.
Which statement best explains why chlorine
has a mass of 35.5?
a) 35.5 is the average mass of all the isotopes of
chlorine.
b) Chlorine and similar elements have ½ a neutron.
c) Some chlorine atoms have a mass of 35, others have
different masses.
d) Different chlorine atoms have different numbers of
neutrons.
If a substance conducts electricity, what type
of bonding does it have?
Which statement best explains why ions
form?
a) Metals form positive ions because they lose
electrons.
b) Positive ions form because loss of electrons leads to
a stable electron arrangement.
c) Ions are more reactive than atoms.
d) Ionic bonding is stronger than London forces.
Why does the blue colour of copper
chloride migrate to the negative
electrode during electrolysis?
As you go down the fractionating column…

decrease

metallic X.
d) X can be found uncombined.
The overall redox equation for the reduction
of silver by magnesium is:
Mg(s) + Ag+(aq)  Mg2+(aq) + Ag(s)
Mg(s) + Ag+(aq)  Mg2+(aq) + Ag(s) + eMg(s) + 2Ag+(aq)  Mg2+(aq) + 2Ag(s)
Mg(s) + Ag+(aq) + 2e-  Mg2+(aq) + Ag(s) + 2e-
The Queensferry crossing in Edinburgh was built
using steel caissons, large watertight tanks used
to create the bridge towers under the water. To
protect the workers inside them, the caissons
must remain structurally sound and not rust.
Discuss which method of protection against
corrosion would be most suited to protecting the
caissons.
