What is the best book for A-Level Chemistry? Any book that covers the entire syllabus of 2016?

I've the first edition of this one, though it covers the syllabus, but it's approach is not that high...My sis prepared her chem through this but she wasn't satisfied so we bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Cambridge-Int..._UL160_SR117,160_&refRID=0HX97BEZKTD0JX3XJX0M
It's much better but it's very difficult to find in markets, because of it being very latest! But I can assure you not only does it cover the syllabus, but it's also very comprehensive and links everything very well!

I have the first edition of that book, too. It's orange.
Some of the concepts for the 2016 syllabus are missing in the first edition book, though.

LiCl (s) + H2SO4 (aq) --> HCl (g) + LiHSO4 (aq)
Thanks.
But could you explain me using an ionic equation?
The half ionic equation for the concentrated H2SO4 is

2H2SO4 + 2e ----->( SO4)-2 + 2H2O + SO2

So where do H2O and SO2 go ?

Can anyone explain how the answer is C? It's says constant speed so shouldn't kinetic energy be constant as well? Screenshot_2015-11-11-22-26-36.png
