ESAT Chemistry: Acids, bases and salts
Focused practice on acids, bases and salts for ESAT Chemistry.
Twenty original questions on acids, bases and salts for ESAT Chemistry, ordered from straightforward to demanding. Acids as hydrogen-ion donors, bases and alkalis, strong and weak versus concentrated and dilute, the pH scale, reactions of acids, neutralisation and making salts (specification C9.1 to C9.3). Relative atomic masses are given where needed; take the molar gas volume as 24 dm$^3$ at room temperature and pressure. Questions get harder as you go.

How we check every question
Our checks are automated, and we say so plainly: there is no human review panel behind them. Report an error.
- Every question is written from scratch. None is copied from official papers or from other publishers.
- Every answer key is verified by code at build time: each answer is recomputed independently, and a paper cannot be built if any answer disagrees with its key.
- Each question has exactly one correct option, and the correct letter is spread evenly across the options.
- If you find a mistake, report it on the error page. We check it, correct the paper quickly and send the corrected files free to everyone who bought it.
