ESAT Chemistry: Rates of reaction and energetics
Focused practice on rates of reaction and energetics for ESAT Chemistry.
Twenty original questions on rates of reaction and energetics for ESAT Chemistry, ordered from straightforward to demanding. Measuring and explaining rates, collision theory, activation energy and catalysts, exothermic and endothermic reactions, energy changes from temperature changes and from bond energies (specification C10.1 to C10.6 and C11.1 to C11.5). Specific heat capacity and bond energies are given where needed. 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.
