Sample Basque PAU Chemistry Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Basque PAU Chemistry exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 59+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1If the enthalpy of reaction is -10 kJ/mol, what type of reaction is it?
A.Exothermic
B.Endothermic
C.Isothermic
D.Isobaric
Explanation: A negative enthalpy change (-10 kJ/mol) indicates that heat is released by the system, which defines an exothermic reaction.
2For the reaction A <-> B with Kc = 2, if [A] = 1M, what is [B] at equilibrium?
A.2 M
B.0.50 M
C.4 M
D.0 M
Explanation: Kc = [B]/[A]. Since [A] = 1M and Kc = 2, [B] must be 2M.
3What is the pH of a solution with [H+] = 10^-4 M?
A.4
B.10
C.-4
D.5
Explanation: pH is defined as -log[H+]. Therefore, -log(10^-4) = 4.
4In the reaction Zn + Cu2+ -> Zn2+ + Cu, what is the oxidation state of Zn after the reaction?
A.+2
B.0
C.+1
D.-2
Explanation: Zn goes from an oxidation state of 0 (elemental) to +2 in Zn2+. It is oxidized by losing 2 electrons.
5What is the functional group of CH3-CH2-OH?
A.Alcohol
B.Aldehyde
C.Ketone
D.Carboxylic acid
Explanation: The -OH group bonded to a saturated carbon atom characterizes an alcohol.
6How many moles of H2 are produced when 6 moles of Zn react with excess HCl?
A.6 moles
B.12 moles
C.3.0 moles
D.7 moles
Explanation: The balanced equation is Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2. For every mole of Zn, one mole of H2 is produced. Thus 6 moles of Zn produce 6 moles of H2.
7If the enthalpy of reaction is -70 kJ/mol, what type of reaction is it?
A.Exothermic
B.Endothermic
C.Isothermic
D.Isobaric
Explanation: A negative enthalpy change (-70 kJ/mol) indicates that heat is released by the system, which defines an exothermic reaction.
8For the reaction A <-> B with Kc = 8, if [A] = 1M, what is [B] at equilibrium?
A.8 M
B.0.12 M
C.16 M
D.0 M
Explanation: Kc = [B]/[A]. Since [A] = 1M and Kc = 8, [B] must be 8M.
9What is the pH of a solution with [H+] = 10^-10 M?
A.10
B.4
C.-10
D.11
Explanation: pH is defined as -log[H+]. Therefore, -log(10^-10) = 10.
10How many moles of H2 are produced when 12 moles of Zn react with excess HCl?
A.12 moles
B.24 moles
C.6.0 moles
D.13 moles
Explanation: The balanced equation is Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2. For every mole of Zn, one mole of H2 is produced. Thus 12 moles of Zn produce 12 moles of H2.
