OCR AS Level June 2022 Chemistry A Paper 1 | Question Paper | Breadth in Chemistry | 2026 Update

Prepare for your OCR AS Level Chemistry A exam with this authentic June 2022 Paper 1 (H032/01) question paper, updated for 2026. This official Breadth in Chemistry examination paper covers the full AS Level Chemistry A specification including atomic structure and isotopes (protons, neutrons, electrons, electron configuration, relative atomic mass calculations from mass spectra), bonding and structure (giant covalent lattice, electronegativity, ionic bonding, giant ionic lattice, metallic bonding, London forces, trends in boiling points down Group 7/17), periodicity (ionisation energies across Period 3, melting points across Period 3), quantitative chemistry (mole calculations, mass from reaction yield, dilution calculations C1V1 = C2V2, number of ions in moles, empirical formula from percentage composition, hydrated salt formula, molar mass determination from ideal gas equation PV = nRT), energetics (enthalpy change of combustion using Hess's law and ΔfH⁰ values, enthalpy change of neutralisation using calorimetry q = mcΔT), kinetics (Boltzmann distribution curves, effect of temperature on reaction rate, catalysts and equilibrium), equilibrium (Le Chatelier's principle, equilibrium constant Kc calculations), organic chemistry (alkene systematic naming (CH3)3CCH=CH2, electrophilic addition mechanism with bromine, curly arrows, carbocation intermediates, polymerisation, infrared spectroscopy functional group identification, mass spectrometry fragmentation patterns (m/z values 15, 29, 43), haloalkane hydrolysis nucleophilic substitution mechanism, E/Z stereoisomerism, combustion analysis of alkanes), inorganic chemistry (halogens, disproportionation reaction of chlorine with NaOH, halide tests with observations and equations, oxyanions (sulfate(VI), phosphate(V), bromate(I))), and practical skills. Perfect for OCR AS Level Chemistry students preparing for their Breadth in Chemistry exam.
