OCR GCSE Chemistry B (Foundation Tier) – Paper 1: Question Paper (J248/01) – 2025

This question paper assesses students’ understanding of the fundamental chemistry concepts in the OCR GCSE Chemistry B (9–1) specification at Foundation Tier level, focusing on recall, simple application, and basic scientific skills.

Paper 1 covers content from the first part of the specification, including:

Fundamental chemical concepts – particles, states of matter, and changes of state
Elements, compounds, and mixtures – basic separation techniques and purity
Atomic structure and the periodic table – simple structure of atoms and element groups
Chemical reactions – word equations, simple symbol equations, and reaction types
Acids, alkalis, and salts – neutralisation and everyday uses
Energy changes – basic ideas of exothermic and endothermic reactions

The paper includes multiple-choice questions, short structured questions, simple calculations, and basic data interpretation, designed to be accessible while still testing understanding of key chemistry ideas.

This question paper is ideal for revision practice, mock exams, classroom assessment, and independent study, helping students become familiar with exam style, command words, and Foundation Tier exam structure.
