Mock Exam - Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry Paper 1C (Set 1)

(2)
A useful resource for students to practice their knowledge and examination technique for future external assessments. This is for the following paper: 4CH1 - 1C This mock is based on our 2022 Predicted Papers. 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 1C 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 1a - States of matter (1.1 – 1.4) • Topic 1c - Atomic structure (1.14 – 1.17) • Topic 1e - Chemical formulae, equations and calculations (including practical 1.36) (1.25 – 1.33, 1.36) • Topic 1g - Covalent bonding (1.44 – 1.51) • Topic 2c - Gases in the atmosphere (2.9 – 2.14) • Topic 2h - Chemical tests (2.44 – 2.50) • Topic 3b - Rates of reaction (3.9 – 3.13) • Topic 4b - Crude oil (4.7 – 4.18) • Topic 4c - Alkanes (4.19 – 4.22) Disclaimer: This document was created by department heads with many years of experience teaching the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry course. We cannot however guarantee that it is an accurate representation of upcoming examinations and students should not treat it as such. Please use this as an aid, alongside other methods of revision.
