Back by popular demand for a third year! Our heads of department have once again been hard at work to create a series of predicted exams for Summer 2024! This is for the following paper: 4CH1 - 2C These questions are completely original and have been designed from scratch. There has been no reuse of previous exam questions. Our mock paper follows the format of the true Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry 2C paper closely. It is also the exact duration and mark-count, with questions of increasing difficulty. A mark scheme is also attached. The paper covers the following specification points: • Topic 1b - Elements, compounds and mixtures (1.8 - 1.10) • Topic 1i - Electrolysis (1.55C - 1.60C) • Topic 1e - Chemical formulae, equations and calculations (1.25 - 1.33) • Topic 2e - Extraction and uses of metals (2.22C - 2.27C) • Topic 2f - Acids, alkalis and titrations (2.28 - 2.33C) • Topic 3c - Reversible reactions and equilibria (3.17 - 3.22C) • Topic 4f - Carboxylic acids (4.34C - 4.35C) • Topic 4g - Esters (4.38C - 4.42C) Disclaimer: This document was created by department heads with many years of experience teaching the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry course.
