Chemistry (SSC IX-X) flashcards for Aga Khan University Examination Board
20 of 55 cards from the Chemistry (SSC IX-X) deck — real questions with worked answers.
What is chemistry?
The branch of science that deals with the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter.
Name the main branches of chemistry.
Physical chemistry, Organic chemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Analytical chemistry, Biochemistry, Industrial (Applied) chemistry, Environmental chemistry, and Nuclear chemistry.
What does organic chemistry study?
The chemistry of carbon-containing compounds (hydrocarbons and their derivatives), excluding most oxides and carbonates.
What does inorganic chemistry study?
The properties and reactions of all elements and their compounds except organic (carbon-hydrogen) compounds.
What does physical chemistry study?
The relationship between physical properties of matter and chemical reactions, including energy changes, rates, and structure.
What does biochemistry study?
The chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms.
What does analytical chemistry deal with?
The qualitative and quantitative analysis of substances to determine their composition (what and how much is present).
What is nuclear chemistry?
The branch dealing with radioactivity, nuclear reactions, and changes occurring in the nucleus of atoms.
What is environmental chemistry?
The study of chemical processes occurring in the environment, including pollution and its effects on air, water, and soil.
Define atomic mass unit (amu).
One-twelfth (1/12) the mass of one atom of carbon-12; 1 amu = 1.661 x 10^-24 g.
What is the atomic mass of an element?
The average mass of an atom of an element relative to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, expressed in amu.
What is molecular mass?
The sum of the atomic masses of all atoms present in one molecule of a substance, expressed in amu.
Calculate the molecular mass of water (H2O).
(2 x 1) + 16 = 18 amu.
What is formula mass (formula unit mass)?
The sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in one formula unit of an ionic compound, e.g., NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 amu.
Define the mole.
The amount of a substance that contains as many particles (atoms, molecules, ions) as there are atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon-12, i.e., 6.022 x 10^23 particles.
What is Avogadro's number?
6.022 x 10^23, the number of particles present in one mole of any substance.
What is molar mass?
The mass of one mole of a substance expressed in grams, numerically equal to its atomic/molecular/formula mass in amu.
Write the formula relating number of moles to mass.
Number of moles = mass of substance (g) / molar mass (g/mol).
How do you find the number of particles from moles?
Number of particles = number of moles x 6.022 x 10^23 (Avogadro's number).
What is the molar volume of a gas at STP?
22.4 dm^3 (litres) for one mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure (0 degrees C and 1 atm).
Planning Chemistry (SSC IX-X) for Aga Khan University Examination Board
Chemistry (SSC IX-X) is about 22% of the Aga Khan University Examination Board syllabus by topic count — 47 of 214 topics, spread over 12 chapters. At roughly 45 minutes per topic plus 12 minutes per sub-topic, a first pass runs to about 35 hours.
The heaviest chapters are Fundamentals of Chemistry (4 topics), States of Matter (4 topics), Atomic Structure (4 topics) . Front-load those while your energy is high; the short chapters are better revision filler later.
Work top-down: read the chapter, then tick topics off individually rather than marking the whole chapter done. Sub-topics are where silent gaps hide.
