Sample UPMSP High School Science Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the UPMSP High School Science exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which type of chemical reaction is represented by the equation: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO?
A.Decomposition reaction
B.Combination reaction
C.Displacement reaction
D.Double displacement reaction
Explanation: Two or more reactants (Mg and O₂) combine to form a single product (MgO), which is the definition of a combination (synthesis) reaction.
2When ferrous sulphate crystals are heated strongly, the colour of the crystals changes from green to brown and a gas with a characteristic smell of burning sulphur is released. This is an example of which reaction type?
A.Combination
B.Displacement
C.Thermal decomposition
D.Double displacement
Explanation: Heating ferrous sulphate causes it to break down into Fe₂O₃, SO₂ and SO₃; one compound forming multiple products on heating is thermal decomposition.
3In the reaction Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu, zinc is:
A.Oxidised and is the reducing agent
B.Reduced and is the oxidising agent
C.Neither oxidised nor reduced
D.Only a catalyst
Explanation: Zn loses electrons to form Zn²⁺ (oxidation) and reduces Cu²⁺ to Cu; therefore Zn is oxidised and acts as the reducing agent.
4Which balanced equation correctly represents the reaction of sodium with water?
A.Na + H₂O → NaOH + H₂
B.2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂
C.2Na + H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂
D.Na + 2H₂O → NaOH + H₂
Explanation: Balancing atoms: 2 Na, 4 H and 2 O on both sides requires 2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂.
5A solution turns red litmus blue. Which statement is correct?
A.It is acidic and has pH less than 7
B.It is basic and has pH greater than 7
C.It is neutral with pH equal to 7
D.It is acidic with pH equal to 7
Explanation: Bases turn red litmus blue and have pH > 7; acids turn blue litmus red and have pH < 7.
6Which of the following has the highest pH?
A.Lemon juice
B.Tomato juice
C.Distilled water
D.Milk of magnesia
Explanation: Milk of magnesia is a basic suspension (Mg(OH)₂) with pH around 10; lemon and tomato juices are acidic and water is neutral.
7The chemical formula of bleaching powder is:
A.CaOCl₂
B.Ca(OH)₂
C.CaCO₃
D.CaSO₄·½H₂O
Explanation: Bleaching powder is calcium oxychloride, commonly written as CaOCl₂, produced by treating dry slaked lime with chlorine.
8Baking soda on strong heating produces sodium carbonate, water and which gas?
A.Oxygen
B.Carbon dioxide
C.Hydrogen
D.Chlorine
Explanation: 2NaHCO₃ → Na₂CO₃ + H₂O + CO₂; carbon dioxide is released on heating baking soda.
9Plaster of Paris is obtained by heating gypsum at about 373 K. The chemical formula of plaster of Paris is:
A.CaSO₄·2H₂O
B.CaSO₄·½H₂O
C.CaSO₄
D.CaSO₄·H₂O
Explanation: Partial dehydration of gypsum (CaSO₄·2H₂O) yields plaster of Paris, calcium sulphate hemihydrate CaSO₄·½H₂O.
10In a neutralisation reaction between a strong acid and a strong base, the products are:
A.Acid salt and water only
B.Salt and water
C.Salt and hydrogen gas
D.Base and carbon dioxide
Explanation: Neutralisation: acid + base → salt + water (e.g., HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O).

About the UPMSP High School Science Exam

The Uttar Pradesh UPMSP High School (Class 10) Science examination (subject code 931) is conducted by Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP), Prayagraj. Official Board Syllabus pages on upmsp.edu.in list Class 9/10 PDFs for code 931. High School candidates offer six subjects under the published subject-combination rules (five compulsory + one optional). Common full-marks pattern is Theory 70 + Internal/Practical/Project 30 = 100 with approximately 3 hours 15 minutes for the theory paper (confirm the subject PDF). Official Class 10 Science scheme: Theory 70 + Internal practical/project 30 = 100; unit weights Chemical substances 20, Living world 20, Natural phenomena 12, Effects of current 13, Natural resources 5 (from official Science PDF). Focus: Integrated Class 10 Science covering chemistry, biology, and physics units with diagram/interpretation judgment. The 100 questions on this page are an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept drills and self-assessment.

Exam sponsor: Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official UPMSP High School mixed written theory paper (objective and constructed-response items as per subject design) with common Theory 70 + Internal 30 = 100 full marks pattern for many Class 10 subjects, duration typically 3 hours 15 minutes.
