Sample CHSE Odisha Elective Chemistry Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the CHSE Odisha Elective Chemistry exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1The number of moles in 36 g of water (H2O; M = 18 g mol^-1) is:
A.2.0 mol
B.1.0 mol
C.0.5 mol
D.18 mol
Explanation: n = m/M = 36/18 = 2.0 mol. One mole of water has mass 18 g, so 36 g is two moles.
2How many molecules are present in 0.5 mol of CO2? (NA = 6.022 x 10^23 mol^-1)
A.3.011 x 10^23
B.6.022 x 10^23
C.1.204 x 10^24
D.3.011 x 10^22
Explanation: Number of molecules = n x NA = 0.5 x 6.022 x 10^23 = 3.011 x 10^23.
3A sample contains 40% C, 6.7% H and 53.3% O by mass. Its empirical formula is: (C=12, H=1, O=16)
A.CH2O
B.C2H4O
C.CH2O2
D.C2H6O
Explanation: Assume 100 g: C 40/12=3.33, H 6.7/1=6.7, O 53.3/16=3.33. Divide by 3.33 → C1 H2 O1 → CH2O.
4In the reaction 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, if 4 mol H2 and 1 mol O2 react, the limiting reagent is:
A.O2
B.H2
C.H2O
D.Neither; both are exactly stoichiometric
Explanation: Stoichiometry needs 2 mol H2 per 1 mol O2. With 4 mol H2 you could use 2 mol O2, but only 1 mol O2 is present, so O2 limits the product to 2 mol H2O.
5Molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 5.85 g NaCl (M = 58.5 g mol^-1) in water to make 500 mL solution is:
A.0.20 M
B.0.10 M
C.1.0 M
D.0.50 M
Explanation: n = 5.85/58.5 = 0.10 mol; V = 0.500 L; M = n/V = 0.10/0.50 = 0.20 M.
6According to the law of definite proportions, a pure compound:
A.Always contains the same elements in the same mass ratio
B.May change composition with temperature only
C.Has variable composition depending on source
D.Is always a mixture of isotopes only
Explanation: The law of definite proportions (Proust) states that a given pure compound always contains the same elements combined in a fixed mass ratio, independent of source or method of preparation.
7How many grams of CaCO3 (M = 100 g mol^-1) are needed to produce 4.4 g CO2 on complete decomposition? (CaCO3 → CaO + CO2)
A.10 g
B.4.4 g
C.100 g
D.44 g
Explanation: n(CO2) = 4.4/44 = 0.10 mol; from 1:1 stoichiometry n(CaCO3)=0.10 mol; mass = 0.10 x 100 = 10 g.
8Normality of 0.5 M H2SO4 used as a diprotic acid (for complete H+ neutralization) is:
A.1.0 N
B.0.5 N
C.0.25 N
D.2.0 N
Explanation: For H2SO4, n-factor = 2 for complete neutralization. N = M x n-factor = 0.5 x 2 = 1.0 N.
9The mass of 1.204 x 10^24 molecules of O2 (M = 32 g mol^-1) is: (NA = 6.022 x 10^23)
A.64 g
B.32 g
C.16 g
D.8 g
Explanation: n = N/NA = 1.204e24 / 6.022e23 = 2.0 mol; mass = 2 x 32 = 64 g.
10If 4.0 g of a gas occupies 2.24 L at STP, its molar mass is approximately:
A.40 g mol^-1
B.22.4 g mol^-1
C.4.0 g mol^-1
D.2.24 g mol^-1
Explanation: At STP, 22.4 L = 1 mol. 2.24 L = 0.10 mol. M = m/n = 4.0/0.10 = 40 g mol^-1.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is CHSE Odisha Higher Secondary Elective Chemistry examined?

Chemistry is typically assessed as 70 marks theory plus 30 marks practical per year. Year-1 is college-level Class XI; Year-2 is the Council AHSE Class XII paper that contributes to the final pass certificate. Theory papers are usually about 3 hours and mix objective and analytical/numerical written items—not a pure MCQ board paper.

What does Year 1 (Class XI) Chemistry cover?

Under the CHSE Chemistry XI–XII (2023–24) syllabus: some basic concepts of chemistry (including stoichiometry), structure of atom, classification and periodicity, chemical bonding and molecular structure, chemical thermodynamics, equilibrium, redox reactions, organic chemistry basic principles and techniques, and hydrocarbons. Practical includes salt analysis (acid radicals), crystallisation/titration, viva, and record.

What does Year 2 (Class XII) Chemistry cover?

Solutions, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, d- and f-block elements, coordination compounds, haloalkanes and haloarenes, alcohols/phenols/ethers, aldehydes/ketones/carboxylic acids, amines, and biomolecules (70 marks theory). Practical includes salt analysis (basic radicals), crystallisation, double/bench/redox titration, organic qualitative tests, viva, and record.

Is this practice bank the same format as the official CHSE paper?

No. Official papers mix objective and constructed-response numerical/mechanism items plus a separate practical exam. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation for concept and calculation revision—not an official blueprint replica.

What books are prescribed?

CHSE lists Bureau's Higher Secondary (+2) Chemistry Vol-I/II (Odisha State Bureau of Textbook Preparation and Production) and NCERT Chemistry Parts I–II for Classes XI and XII, plus +2 Practical Chemistry (Bureau) for labs. Confirm the current circular on chseodisha.nic.in.

What is the pass mark and cost?

AHSE practice commonly requires about 30% as a minimum pass floor in theory for science subjects (confirm theory and practical rules in the current notification). Examination charges are included in the CHSE Odisha AHSE fee structure collected through the affiliated college—no separate public per-elective marketplace fee.
