The exam evaluates foundational chemistry concepts, focusing on reaction rates, hydrocarbons, polymers, environmental chemistry, and analytical methods. Key topics include fractional distillation, water purification, chromatography, combustion of fuels, polymer properties, reversible reactions, and equilibrium. Practical applications involve calculating Rf values, analyzing the effects of pressure and temperature on reaction rates, and testing for ions and gases. Emphasis is placed on interpreting experimental data, evaluating sustainable practices, and understanding molecular structures. Keywords: GCSE Chemistry, hydrocarbons, polymers, reaction rates, fractional distillation, chromatography, reversible reactions, sustainability, analytical methods, environmental impact.
