Practical Lab โ€” Past-Year Paper 5

Virtual versions of real O-Level Science (Chemistry) Practical Tests. Do the experiment on the bench, but โ€” just like the real exam โ€” you record every observation and calculation in the laboratory notebook, and it's marked like the actual paper.

2025 Paper 5 (5088/05)

Epsom salt: find x in MgSOโ‚„ยทxHโ‚‚O by heating, then identify the ions in mixture B. Observations are recorded by completing dropdown sentences โ€” great scaffolding for a first attempt.

Version B โ€” written & auto-marked

2025 Paper 5 (5088/05)

The same practical, but you write every observation in your own words โ€” the notebook marks them offline against the real mark scheme's points and tells you what's missing. Exam-realistic.

2021 Paper 5 (5076/05)

Qualitative analysis: identify the three ions in salt S by wet tests, a zinc reduction (with a hydrogen "pop" test) and a manganate(VII) redox test. Observations recorded via dropdown sentences.

Heat solid A (zinc carbonate) and watch it turn yellow when hot, white when cold; test the gas with limewater; then identify the ions in B and C and describe a separation technique.

Identify the ions in solution P, then run a real burette titration against purple KMnOโ‚„ โ€” drag the tap, watch the self-indicating end-point, and calculate the Feยฒโบ concentration. Optional redox titration curve.

Identify the two acids in W, then run an iodine clock โ€” measure the reagents, add X to start the stopwatch, and time the blue-black as you change the concentration. Then calculate the rates.
