HL Stoichiometry Answers
 

STOICHIOMETRY TEST FOR IB HIGHER LEVEL

This test consists of 40 questions, and should be completed in 1 hour.

For each question there are four responses only one of which is correct.

You should use your calculator and the Data Booklet.

(Please note however that in the actual IB examination (Paper 1 - multiple choice), the use of a calculator is not permitted. Questions are formulated in such a manner so as not to require the use of a calculator).

Similarly the use of the IB Data Booklet is not permitted, but a simplified Periodic Table with atomic numbers and relative atomic masses is provided).

Marks will not be deducted for incorrect answers, so you should attempt all questions.
