 POINTS TO REMEMBER
1. Blanks must be filled with the options as given in the brackets.(two -2, Zero -0,
sulphuric acid-H2SO4)
2. Solve the numerical systematically step wise.
(Formula Substitution Answer with Unit )
3. Arrhenius Equation k=Ae-Ea/RT (not log k =logA –Ea/2.303RT)
4. Co-ordination number of each.(solid state)
5. Calculation of Z in density.(Working should be shown)
6. Balanced chemical equations, name of reactant and product with observations should be
written.
7. While writing Organic Reactions always mention-
a) Balanced chemical equations.
b) Conditions-temperature, pressure, catalyst.
c) Name of products formed.
d) Name of reaction.
8. While writing Chemical tests to distinguish the pair of O.C always give-
e) Correct reagent used for the test.
f) Conditions (temperature i.e heat or cold condition)
g) Observation (i.e colour of ppt.or solution never report the taste of O.C)
9. If test is positive with one compound only then the negative test with other O.C should
be given.(Never write it does not react)
 COMMON MISTAKES
1. In fill in theMIXTURE
blanks studentsANALYSIS
write the options not given in the
choices.
1.2. Tes
In MCQs and matching the column don’t change the given
order of the sub parts.
3. Co-ordination compounds-
a) Names of non ionic complexes are written with space in between (they are
single word).
b) Name is started with capital letter (it starts with small letter).
c) Oxidation state is not mentioned.
d) Ammine is written as amine.
4.In chemical tests for organic compounds-
a)only the name of the tests are given
(reagent, observation and conditions are required).
b)characteristic reaction are given(chemical tests are required)
5.Shape and geometry of molecules.(co-ordination and inter-
halogen compounds)

1. Concordant reading is to be used for titre value. Concordant reading is two

consecutive values which are exactly the same. Average will not be
accepted as titre value.
2. The table is to be completed in ink only. Pencil is not to be used.
3. Overwriting will not be accepted in the tabular column.
4. Observations:
a) Pipette size (should be same for all the candidates at the centre).
b) Titre value (concordant value).
 NOTE
1. Formal analytical procedure is required for Qualitative Analysis.
2. Specific solvent for O.S. to be used;
3. Before adding Group III reagents to the filtrate of Group II, H2S
must be removed followed by boiling with conc. Nitric acid.
4. The right order for buffer (NH4Cl and NH4OH) must be used.
5. The flame test with the precipitate obtained in Group V for Ba2+,
Sr2+, Ca2+ will also be accepted as a confirmatory test.
6. Test of anions to be performed with neutralised sodium
carbonate extract.
(except for carbonate ion )
7. Do not forget the use of conc. HNO3 in group III.
8. Removal of H2S gas before group V.
9. Ring is always formed at the junction of two liquids.
10. In group V test the cations in the order BSC ( Ba,Sr,Ca)
11. While writing the tests be very careful about ppt. or solution.
