OCR GCSE Chemistry A (Foundation Tier) – Paper 2 (J248/02) – 2025

This paper assesses students’ understanding of the later chemistry topics in the OCR GCSE Chemistry A (9–1) specification at Foundation Tier level, focusing on core knowledge, simple application, and basic data interpretation.

Paper 2 covers content from the second half of the specification, including:

Chemical analysis – simple tests for gases and ions, chromatography, and identifying substances
Rates of reaction and equilibrium – basic factors affecting reaction rates and reversible reactions
Organic chemistry – simple hydrocarbons, fuels, polymers, and everyday organic products
Chemistry of the atmosphere – air pollution, greenhouse gases, and climate change
Using resources – water treatment, recycling, and sustainable use of materials

The exam includes multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, simple calculations, structured questions, and data-based questions, designed to assess understanding in a clear and accessible way for Foundation Tier students.

This resource is ideal for revision, classroom use, mock exams, and independent study, helping students build confidence and improve exam technique by understanding how marks are awarded and how to answer exam questions effectively.
