Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises the Chemistry Paper 2 Maseno School Mock Exam as a KCSE Trial Exam, administered in July/August 2024. The marking scheme is in a different document.

  This is a structured theory paper consisting of seven compulsory questions, with all answers to be written in the spaces provided. The total marks for the paper is 80, and candidates are permitted to use mathematical tables and silent electronic calculators.

  The paper assesses a variety of major chemistry topics through detailed, multi-part questions, which include both theoretical knowledge and practical calculations:

  • The Periodic Table: A comprehensive question based on a section of the periodic table, testing knowledge of trends, bonding, and properties of elements.
  • Organic Chemistry: This section covers a wide range of topics including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, and carboxylic acids. It also delves into the chemistry of fats and oils, including the formation of biodiesel and soap, and involves stoichiometric calculations.
  • Chemical Energetics: A data-based question requires candidates to plot and interpret a graph to determine the molar heat of neutralization of an acid.
  • Industrial Processes: A complex flowchart question requires the identification of substances and reactions involved in major industrial processes like the Contact and Haber processes.
  • Sulphur and its Compounds: Questions on the laboratory preparation of sulphur compounds, the properties of concentrated sulphuric acid, and the allotropes of sulphur.
  • Inorganic Chemistry: This includes the preparation and properties of gases like hydrogen and nitrogen compounds, as well as the qualitative test for nitrates.
  • Electrochemistry: A detailed question covering both electrolytic cells (electrolysis of copper (II) sulphate with calculations) and electrochemical cells.
