1. Mass Conservation and Proportional Reasoning | 质量守恒与比例推理
A student heats a piece of magnesium ribbon in a crucible. The mass of the empty crucible is 25.0 g. After placing magnesium, the total mass is 27.4 g. After heating strongly with the lid open, the crucible and magnesium oxide weigh 29.0 g. (a) Calculate the mass of magnesium used. (b) Calculate the mass of magnesium oxide produced. (c) Calculate the mass of oxygen that combined with the magnesium. (d) The formula of magnesium oxide is MgO. Given relative atomic masses Mg = 24, O = 16, state the simplest mass ratio of Mg to O in this compound. (e) Simplify the experimental mass ratio and compare it with the theoretical ratio from (d). Does this support the law of conservation of mass? Explain your answer.
一名学生将一段镁条放在坩埚中加热。空坩埚质量为 25.0 g。放入镁后总质量为 27.4 g。打开盖子强热后，坩埚与氧化镁的质量为 29.0 g。(a) 计算所用镁的质量。(b) 计算生成的氧化镁质量。(c) 计算与镁化合的氧气质量。(d) 氧化镁的化学式为 MgO。已知相对原子质量 Mg = 24，O = 16，写出该化合物中 Mg 与 O 的最简质量比。(e) 化简实验获得的质量比，并与 (d) 的理论比比较。这是否支持质量守恒定律？解释你的答案。
Step 1: Mass of magnesium = 27.4 g – 25.0 g = 2.4 g.
步骤一：镁的质量 = 27.4 g – 25.0 g = 2.4 g。
Step 2: Mass of magnesium oxide = 29.0 g – 25.0 g = 4.0 g. So the mass of oxygen that reacted = 4.0 g – 2.4 g = 1.6 g.
步骤二：氧化镁质量 = 29.0 g – 25.0 g = 4.0 g。因此参加反应的氧气质量 = 4.0 g – 2.4 g = 1.6 g。
Step 3: From the formula MgO, the theoretical mass ratio Mg : O = 24 : 16 = 3 : 2. The experimental ratio is 2.4 g : 1.6 g = 24 : 16 = 3 : 2. The ratios match, and the total mass before reaction (2.4 g Mg + 1.6 g O₂) equals the mass after reaction (4.0 g MgO). This confirms the law of conservation of mass.
步骤三：由化学式 MgO，理论上 Mg : O 的质量比 = 24 : 16 = 3 : 2。实验比为 2.4 g : 1.6 g = 24 : 16 = 3 : 2。两者匹配，且反应前总质量（2.4 g Mg + 1.6 g O₂）等于反应后质量（4.0 g MgO）。这验证了质量守恒定律。
This type of question links chemistry to mathematical ratios and arithmetic. Always show your steps clearly.

2. Gas Collection and Kinetic Theory | 气体收集与粒子理论
A student adds dilute hydrochloric acid to marble chips (calcium carbonate) in a flask and collects the carbon dioxide gas in a gas syringe. At 20 °C, 50 cm³ of gas is collected in the first minute. The same experiment is then repeated, but the temperature is raised to 30 °C while keeping the mass of marble, volume and concentration of acid exactly the same. (a) Predict the volume of gas collected in the first minute at 30 °C. (b) Use ideas about particles to explain your prediction.
一名学生将稀盐酸加入盛有大理石碎片（碳酸钙）的烧瓶中，并用气体注射器收集二氧化碳气体。在 20 °C 时，第一分钟内收集到 50 cm³ 气体。然后重复相同实验，但温度升至 30 °C，大理石质量、酸的体积和浓度完全相同。(a) 预测在 30 °C 时第一分钟收集到的气体体积。(b) 用粒子观点解释你的预测。
(a) The volume will be greater than 50 cm³, for example approximately 60–70 cm³. (b) At a higher temperature, the particles in the reaction mixture have more kinetic energy, move faster and collide more frequently and more energetically. This increases the rate of successful collisions between hydrogen ions and calcium carbonate, so carbon dioxide is produced faster and more gas is collected in the same time.
(a) 体积将大于 50 cm³，例如约 60–70 cm³。(b) 温度较高时，反应混合物中的粒子具有更大的动能，运动更快，碰撞更频繁且能量更高。这增加了氢离子与碳酸钙之间有效碰撞的速率，因此二氧化碳生成更快，相同时间内收集到的气体更多。
This question combines chemistry (reaction of acids with carbonates) with physics (kinetic particle theory). You will also find similar links when studying rates of reaction.
这道题将化学（酸与碳酸盐的反应）和物理（粒子运动理论）结合在一起。在学习反应速率时，你还会遇到类似的跨学科联系。
3. Photosynthesis and Respiration Equations | 光合作用与呼吸作用的方程式
Green plants carry out photosynthesis, and almost all living things respire. (a) Write the word equation and the balanced symbol equation for photosynthesis. (b) Write the word equation and the balanced symbol equation for aerobic respiration. (c) Explain why these two processes are described as being ‘opposite reactions’ and how they link the carbon cycle in biology and chemistry.
绿色植物进行光合作用，而几乎所有的生物都进行呼吸作用。(a) 写出光合作用的文字方程式和配平的符号方程式。(b) 写出有氧呼吸的文字方程式和配平的符号方程式。(c) 解释为什么这两个过程被称为“相反的反应”，以及它们如何将生物学中的碳循环与化学联系起来。
(a) Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen (in the presence of light and chlorophyll). Balanced equation: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂. (b) Aerobic respiration: Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy). Balanced equation: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O. (c) The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of respiration, and vice versa. This illustrates a chemical cycle where carbon atoms are continually transferred between the atmosphere and living organisms, a key part of the carbon cycle.
(a) 光合作用：二氧化碳 + 水 → 葡萄糖 + 氧气（在光和叶绿素存在下）。配平方程式：6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂。(b) 有氧呼吸：葡萄糖 + 氧气 → 二氧化碳 + 水（+ 能量）。配平方程式：C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O。(c) 光合作用的产物正是呼吸作用的反应物，反之亦然。这说明了一个化学循环：碳原子在大气与生物之间持续转移，这是碳循环的关键部分。
This is a classic interdisciplinary question linking chemistry with biology. Being able to write balanced symbol equations is a core skill expected by Edexcel.
这是一道将化学与生物联系起来的经典跨学科题目。能够书写配平的符号方程式是 Edexcel 要求的核心技能。
4. Acid Rain and Rock Weathering | 酸雨和岩石风化
Limestone is a sedimentary rock mainly composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Acid rain contains sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). (a) Write a balanced symbol equation for the reaction between sulfuric acid and calcium carbonate. (b) This reaction contributes to chemical weathering. Explain how it can damage limestone buildings and statues. (c) Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced when 10.0 g of pure calcium carbonate reacts completely with excess acid. (Aᵣ: Ca = 40, C = 12, O = 16)
石灰岩是一种主要由碳酸钙 (CaCO₃) 组成的沉积岩。酸雨含有硫酸 (H₂SO₄)。(a) 写出硫酸与碳酸钙反应的配平符号方程式。(b) 该反应会导致化学风化。解释它如何破坏石灰岩建筑和雕像。(c) 计算 10.0 g 纯碳酸钙与过量酸完全反应时产生的二氧化碳质量。（相对原子质量：Ca = 40，C = 12，O = 16）
(a) H₂SO₄ + CaCO₃ → CaSO₄ + H₂O + CO₂. (b) Acid rain dissolves the calcium carbonate, converting solid rock into soluble calcium sulfate, water and carbon dioxide gas. Over time, the surface of the stone is worn away, details on statues are lost and buildings become weakened. (c) Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 40 + 12 + (3×16) = 100 g/mol. From the equation, 100 g CaCO₃ produces 44 g CO₂. Therefore 10.0 g CaCO₃ produces (10.0/100) × 44 g = 4.4 g of CO₂.
(a) H₂SO₄ + CaCO₃ → CaSO₄ + H₂O + CO₂。(b) 酸雨溶解碳酸钙，将固体岩石转化为可溶的硫酸钙、水和二氧化碳气体。久而久之，石材表面被侵蚀，雕像细节消失，建筑物变得脆弱。(c) CaCO₃ 的摩尔质量 = 40 + 12 + (3×16) = 100 g/mol。根据方程式，100 g CaCO₃ 生成 44 g CO₂。因此 10.0 g CaCO₃ 产生 (10.0/100) × 44 g = 4.4 g CO₂。
This question integrates chemistry (acid–carbonate reaction, calculation) with geography (rock weathering) and environmental science.
这道题将化学（酸与碳酸盐反应、计算）与地理（岩石风化）和环境科学相结合。

(a) Calculate the energy released when 4.0 g of methane is burnt. (b) Suppose all this energy is used to heat 200 g of water at room temperature. Use the formula energy transferred (J) = mass of water (g) × specific heat capacity (4.2 J/g°C) × temperature rise (ΔT in °C). Calculate the maximum temperature rise of the water.
