i aint really sure because iam only a student but i will give it a try
the second sentence is wrong but the first is right , we do not use the article "the" because "students" is a1_ countable noun .2_plural.3_used in a non specific situation which is any students but not specific ones , and i dont think that class or classes affect it in anyway

Hi,

I am student as well. I welcome the opportunity to discuss.

Your opinions:
"we do not use the article "the" because "students" is a"

1_ countable noun
I think we can use "the" regardless the noun is countable or uncountable.

.2_plural.
same opinion as (1)

3_used in a non specific situation which is any students but not specific ones
I think "the" is optional.
Reason:
We have a "the" before chemistry class, so other people will know the questions are in the class.
So, we don't need to use "the" before students' questions.
But, using "the" because students' questions is not incorrect.


Anyone agree with me?

Sentence1:
I would answer students' questions in the chemistry class.
Sentence2:
I would answer the students' questions in the chemistry class.
Sentence3:
I would answer students' questions in the chemistry classes.
Sentence4:
I would answer the students' questions in the chemistry classes.

This sentence confirms there are (collective) students in the (plural) classes.
