Did CBSE shock students in Chemistry too?

AISSCE Chemistry reported to be tough and different from previous years.

  3. Not really.
    Better than physics in every aspects.

  4. the questions were easy ....much far better than physics

    ReplyDelete
  5. good paper easy.
    except 2 question!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  6. it was a nice paper gud questions were asked...this is how papers should be!!! but the NO2 question seemed out of portion!!!

    ReplyDelete
  7. the chemistry paper was easy...a lot better than physics. Don't know what happened to them while making the physics paper!!!

    What about the NO2 question guys . .any idea ?

    ReplyDelete
  9. I think the NO2 question is out of portion my friends told it is from last years equilibrium chapter....hopefully grace marks!!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. chemistry paper was very easy .except for 1 question on EQUILIBRIUM which was out of syllabus of 12th

    ReplyDelete
  11. NO2 question from chemical eqb in 11th class. the question was easy but the calculations were crazy.
    conc of No2 was 12.6x10^-4 (this is my ans don't know about the correct ans)

    ReplyDelete
  12. The paper was quite easy compared to physics it was much better . Hope so we will do biology and maths in the same way

    ReplyDelete
  13. The no2 question...
    N2 + O2 = 2NO
    .8-X .2-X 2X
    k=2X*2X/(.8-X)(.2-X)=1/100000
    SOLVING WE GET THE ANSWER APPROXIMATELY .63/1000
    X=.63/100000
    2X=1.26/100000

    Any chance of getting grace marks . . .?
    I attempted it . . .

    ReplyDelete
  16. i think chemistry was much more easier than physics...

    I think our physics paper correction would be liberal..Else the pass percent would be very low.
    Please make sure about it.

    ReplyDelete
  17. except the equilibrium question,all were attemtavle.bt it was a bit tough than physics

    ReplyDelete
  18. everyone taking about N + O2 ----> NO2
    I WOULD LIKE TO TELL IT WAS CLASS 11 QUESTION...PRETTY EASY..!!HOWEVER OUT OF SYLLABUS..SO MAY GET FULL MARKS IN THAT..!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. wat abt attack of br2 on pent4en 1yne

    ReplyDelete
  20. chemistry was quite easy! :)
    @all
    how many mrks do u guys expect???

    ReplyDelete
  21. it wasn't much tough as expected..
    only, dat kinetics question broke a nerve..
    else, it wos fyn..guys, its out of sylabus rite?
    sure of grace marks?
    and der wer few qstns dat wer out of the CBSE published curriculum..mainly the structure of oxide of nitrogen..

    ReplyDelete
  22. It was easier as compared to physics. 1 question was out of syllabus(c.equilibrium) but i was able to attempt it. But this year paper is not comparable with previous year papers. Paper was not lenghty at all and was 80% medium level.

    ReplyDelete
  23. @sunny yep, this is the right ans..

    ReplyDelete
  24. hopin for grace marks.....

  26. paper was average .the equilibrium que was very easy rather it was from 11th. some tricky que. were there. can any one explain about NF3 explosive que

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yeah it was easy for all including me,,but i got to tell every ' THE HINDU ' newspaper reader who studied according to the responses about the syllabus for CBSE 2012 Board exam given by the CBSE authorities on request in " ASK CBSE " section of 'Education PLus', a supplement of THE Hindu, even though they had clearly said that Catalysis,Ideal Solutions and some other,topics are not included. But For the board exam,questions came for the board exam from these excluded topics.
    So i request plustwophysics administrators to give the marks to all for all the questions out of syllabus,,as students through The Hindu had contacted Cbse authorities and clarified again and again that those topics are not really there.

  28. expecting 68-70/70March 14, 2012 at 4:10 PM

    Br2 will attack only the double bond. no effect on triple bond. so, you will get a vic di halide .

    The answer is : 4,5-dibromopent-1-yne


    do you have to balance the d block equations for full marks? pls tell. only part 2 of that qstn is a problem for me as i didn't balance it. if yes, how many marks will they deduct?

    ReplyDelete
  29. 3 questions in 56/2 OD were out of portions.

    1) question 2 -> shape selective catalysis.
    2) question 22 -> Equilibrium.
    3) question 30 -> N205 structure.


    Hope CBSE considers the matter seriously and gives 'FULL MARKS' for all those who attempted it.

    ReplyDelete
  30. tough but easier than phy.some questions were out of portion.hoping libral evaluatn for phy n chem.

    ReplyDelete
  31. My Physics was better than chemistry......i did many silly mistakes in chem....can anyone tell what will be the answer of attack of br2 on pent4en 1yne??

    ReplyDelete
  32. well, they didn't specify how many moles of bromine...so i took one mole and i got 1,2-dibromopent-1,4-diene. since triple bond is more reactive as more energy is given out when carbon changes from sp - sp2,,,,..but ma teacher said u have to have excess and write a hexa bromo product... since they didnt speicfy, teachers said they will argue for marks as set three dint have that question..instead those lucky ppl had a nomenclature directly from textbook :(

    ReplyDelete
  33. I missed 1 question of 2 marks ( failed to see it :( )
    Still expecting 90+ ,
    How many of u frnds are preparing for the JEE ? 8 Apr is going to be the judgement day ...

    ReplyDelete
  34. chemistry paper was easy ,,,just that 11th class question was mind bogging hoping 93+,,,but what physics had done na seriosly it burnt all the aspirations ...........i dont think will be able 2 cover the spoiled %age ...

    ReplyDelete
  35. The paper was easier than physics but not as easy as previous years papers. I couldn't make head or tail of the NO2 question.

    ReplyDelete
  36. even the question on thermosetting polymers and thermoplastic polymers according to d syllabus is out of portion... so cbse pls...oderwise d credibility of the question paper makers will be....affected

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ppr easier than physics but slightly tougher than previous years, especially some 1 and 2 marks. but No2 ques was out of portion (the concept was of 11th std chapter 'equilibrium'). also questions were asked on ideal solutions and catalysis, not in syllabus this year. CBSE must award free marks for these questions.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Will the question from 11 syllabus(EQILIBRIUM) be considered out of syllabus for 12? If -yes, what would be the marking criterion?

  40. its 1 or 0 for the equations ...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Since nothing was mentioned, we had to take bromine in excess.. so it will become a hexa substituted product..

    ReplyDelete
  42. No. the question is infact correct. bromine never attacks triple bond . I think, the cyclic bromonium ion intermediate is limited to double bond only.

    I wrote the final structure . I didn't specify colour change. will i get FULL marks?

    ReplyDelete
  43. I did the same mistake in preboards but got half mark! :P

    ReplyDelete
  44. 2NF3 - >> (heat) N2 + 3F2
    products are gases, pressure shoots up, reaction vessel bursts. so, explosive!

    ReplyDelete
  45. the paper was nice although care must have been taken not to repeat such blunders in coming years
    who had expected a 11th Q. to appear in a 12th AISSCE paper ?
    i had solved it but still its not acceptable
    and regarding attack of bromine, all the unsaturation will have to be made up by Br2 if Br-water is to be decolourised
    so the product is a hexabromo alkane

    ReplyDelete
  46. I am preparing for IIT, so level of questions never bothered me both in Physics and Chemistry. But, not going to get 70 as named that aldehyde as ketone a silly mistake to comit. I was really frustrated by that equilibrium question, solved that one correctly, but was tensed that I didn't get it correctly.

    ReplyDelete
  47. are u sure br2 will not reduce triple bond,my frds are saying it will reduce triple bond also

    ReplyDelete
  48. what about dat br2 question? will it reduce triple bond also or not?

    ReplyDelete
  49. easier than physics!!!!!!!!!!
    hope biology will also be easy

    ReplyDelete
  50. does anyone can tell the correct order for arrangement in the last question of set 1...
    PLEASE...........................

  51. @dnj
    m an iit aspirant!
    expecting 95+ in chem!
    well m nt much cncerned as iit z approaching!!
    hows ur prep??

    ReplyDelete
  52. hey guys)!
    hav u all(iit aspirants) received jee admit cards? :/
    i havent found a single person who has received it even though today z d last day..isnt it? ://

    ReplyDelete
  53. it was a very lengthy paper and not standard at all. there was too much asked in even 2 n 3 mark questions. and there was lack of numericals. and few questions were even out of main syllabus and cbse must take into account that students of outskirt schools do not have much facilities n material for study n depend solely on the ncert book. it was really disappointing. and paper should have been set for atleast 4 hours to be able to complete! its really harsh that the board wants to play with students' lives.

    ReplyDelete
  54. and also, there were around 3 questions wich were apparently "out of syllabus" for 2012! cbse please take notice....

    ReplyDelete
  55. @anirudh..Dude paper was of appropriate length finished it in 2.5 hrs and den broke my head on that equilibrium ques.. ques of thermosetting and plastic polymers is also out of syllabus...Even the inter paper in AP was badly made...whats going on wid question paper makers???

    ReplyDelete
  56. i think physics is more easy than chem...for chem it was a medium paper...also many questions were out of syllabus.....do anybody knows the answer of
    organic compound-C9H10O...is it 2-ethyl benzaldehyde....

    ReplyDelete
  57. Yes, the reaction is indeed explosive, but that doesnt define an exothermic compound. An exothermic compound is one whose heat of 'formation' is exothermic, not heat of 'dissociation'
    Hence, the reason is that bcz of very strong bonds formed bw F nd N, the heat of formation is exo.
    In case of chlorine lattice energy is less so the overall energy of reaction is endo.

    ReplyDelete
  58. In pent-1-ene 4 yne

    when Br2 attacks(considering as bromine water) ,

    4 bromo compound will be in major yield.(2 on alkene and 2 on alkyne(trans form))
    6 bromo compound will be in minor yield.

    Alkyne decolourise bromine water faster than alkene.

    ReplyDelete
  59. but i messed upwith polymer thermoseeting and thermoplastic,but i have a doubt regarding wheteher it was out of syllabus ornot..as this q is given in ncert exercise

    ReplyDelete
  60. equilibrium question is out of syllabus and structure of N2o5 is also out of syllabus but the paper is damn easy i hv completed my paper in 2hr and 45 min.

    ReplyDelete
  61. expecting 60 -65 and physics is lengthy but easy.

    ReplyDelete
  62. @Anirudh...I couldn't keep pace with time either.
    But I could have, had I not elaborated the 2 marks answers.There I made mistake in managing time.Sad that I couldn't complete writing up some answers which I knew well.
    Still the paper was different from the common pattern,wasn't it?
    Well...hoping for the best.

    ReplyDelete
  63. ya...i also got 2-ethyl benzaldehyde.....

    pls anyone confirm this.......

    ReplyDelete
  64. ARE YOU ALL SURE THAT CBSE WOULD GIVE GRACE MARKS FOR THAT "NO" Q? BCOZ NO IMFORMATION HAS COME OUT YET.

    ReplyDelete
  65. ya i got the same!
    n dis is the answer buddy!
    m cnfrmed :) !!!!

    ReplyDelete
  66. i think about 5 marks was out of syllabus.hope that cbse will consider this .che exam was tough for me.dont think tat it's quite easy.

    ReplyDelete
  67. bio was 2222222...... gud really gud though not all sets. set 1 n 3 were really good .mine was set 3.my fnds who got set2 claimed to be togher than the other 2

    ReplyDelete
  68. I think the paper was just fine.Neither too easy nor too difficult; better than physics-as expected. Except the NO2 question- it was from class 11 syllabus. And yeah, for people who had attempted previous years' questions, it sure was cakewalk. If you were not clear about concepts, you're bound to fall flat on your face--in both physics AND chemistry. :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. che exam was not at all easy.if cbse do like this ,no one will pass in 12.nd no one will take cbse syllabus for higher secondary.this is a lesson for
    juniors.

    plzz,dont punish us for selecting cbse syllabus

    ReplyDelete
  70. i got no2 qtn but found other qtns out of syllabus.i want 2 knw whether cbse provide mark for it.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Was far better than physics i think , hope cbse evaluates physics liberally

    ReplyDelete
  72. The paper was much better than physics.. and i hav come thru a news frm all around that 8 marks are to be given in grace in physicz..??
    for chemistry i didn't get that NO2 question..!! :/

    ReplyDelete
  73. better than phy... but chemistry is gonna be tough correction i guess... wer they strictly follow their answer keys... so hope for gud marks.

    ReplyDelete
  74. u r right.....i think its the ques about peptisation na..........i also think that another numerical was out of syllabus too....a 3m mark ques related eqbm constant...

    ReplyDelete
  75. grace mark .....do we get the full 3 mark ......as i hav attempted d ques got some ans but i dont think it is correct

    ReplyDelete
  76. i got set 2, it was easy 4 me......bt i din go thru the othr 2 sets.......so dunno wethr the othr 2 will b easier or not

    ReplyDelete
  77. the numericals had complicated and lengthy sums...it ws lengthy...i hope the teachers do lenient checking..otherwise the overall percentage will be down!!

    ReplyDelete
  78. from where did you get the news that grace will be given to students in physics. please send me the link

    ReplyDelete
  79. I didn't say that there will be grace marks. I said that the marking scheme is prepared in such a way as to compensate the problems with the question paper. The students who attempted the questions sincerely will get appropriate marks.

    ReplyDelete
  80. well,physics was easy but got confused in few questions.chem. was easy too...bio. contained direct n easy questions.maths was easy but 4 markers were lengthy....hope 2 secure 90+ easily in all subjects.

    ReplyDelete
  81. 4 me it was quite tough....i dnt know whether i will pass.bcoz i didnt know anything.... bt i am sure dat my GOD will help me to score gud marks..
    i trust in U JESUS
