CBSE Chemistry Practicals Class 11


CBSE is a well known prestigious examination board in India, which conducts examinations for 10th and 12th standard. The CBSE Class 11 Chemistry practical exam syllabus is prepared by the CBSE board. The practical exam consists of 30 marks; therefore, students must prepare well to get good marks in the exam. The marks’ distribution for CBSE Practicals for Class 11 Chemistry includes 08 marks each for volumetric and the salt analysis, 06 for content based experiments, while 04 marks each were allocated for the project work and class record and viva.

Chemistry is an interesting subject as it gives knowledge about the behaviour of matter, composition, properties, etc. The Class 11 Chemistry practical exam syllabus is designed by CBSE in such a way that it evaluates a student’s expertise thoroughly. The Chemistry Practical Class 11 is provided here. Students can read these practical notes to prepare more efficiently for the examination
