Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is a feedstock in the chemical industry?

  1. A finished product sold to customers
  2. A raw material that is processed into products
  3. A waste product released to the air
  4. A catalyst used inside a reactor
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — A raw material that is processed into products
Award 1 mark. Feedstocks such as naphtha, brine and natural gas are converted into useful chemicals; the choice of feedstock affects cost and sustainability.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is a by-product?

  1. The main product of the process
  2. A catalyst that is used up
  3. A raw material bought in
  4. A substance formed alongside the main product
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — A substance formed alongside the main product
Award 1 mark. For example, hydrogen is a by-product of the chlor-alkali process and can be sold or used as a fuel, improving the economics.

CXC CAPE Chemistry: Industrial processes and catalysis FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CAPE students preparing for Chemistry?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Industrial processes and catalysis practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different CXC CAPE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Industrial processes and catalysis questions aligned to the official CXC CAPE Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CAPE Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC CAPE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC CAPE.
How is Industrial processes and catalysis typically tested on CXC CAPE Chemistry papers?
Industrial processes and catalysis appears across multiple question types on real CXC CAPE Chemistry papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
