ICSE Class 10 Chemistry Practical 2024-25 PDF: Check List of Experiments and Marking Scheme

ICSE Class 10 Chemistry Practical Syllabus PDF: This article presents the latest syllabus for ICSE Class 10 Chemistry Practical. We have provided the PDF of the official prcatical syllabus which has been released for the current academic session 2024-2025.

In ICSE Class 10, the chemistry practical examination is designed to assess students' understanding of experimental techniques, their ability to conduct experiments, and their competency in recording and analyzing data. The practical assessment typically includes several components:

• Experiments
• Practical File/Record Book
• Viva Voce
• Internal Assessment

Mark Distribution for ICSE Chemistry Practical

The practical assessment in ICSE Class 10 Chemistry carries 20 marks, which are distributed as follows:

• Performing Experiments: The execution of experiments and the accuracy of results.
• Practical File: The quality and completeness of the practical record book.
• Viva Voce: Student’s ability to answer questions about the experiments and related theoretical concepts.
• Internal Assessment: Student’s overall performance in the lab throughout the year.

Check below the ICSE Class 10 Chemistry Practical Syllabus to know the list of experiments and evaluation scheme for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Internal Assessment Of Practical Work

Candidates will be asked to observe the effect of reagents and/or of heat on substances supplied to them. The exercises will be simple and may include the recognition and identification of certain gases and ions listed below. The examiners will not, however, be restricted in their choice to substances containing the listed ions.

Gases: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, Chlorine, Hydrogen chloride, Sulphur dioxide, Hydrogen

sulphide, Ammonia, Water vapour, Nitrogen dioxide.

Ions: Calcium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Zinc and Ammonium, Carbonate, Chloride, Nitrate, Sulphide, Sulphite and Sulphate.

Knowledge of a formal scheme of analysis is not required. Semi-micro techniques are acceptable but candidates using such techniques may need to adapt the instructions given to suit the size of the apparatus being used.

ICSE Class 10 Chemistry Experiments

Candidates are expected to have completed the following minimum practical work:

1. Action of heat on the following substances:

(a) Copper carbonate, zinc carbonate

(b) zinc nitrate, copper nitrate, lead nitrate

Make observations, identify the products and make deductions where possible (equations not required).

2. Make a solution of the unknown substance: add sodium hydroxide solution or ammonium hydroxide solution, make observations and give your deduction. Warming the mixture may be needed. Choose from substances containing Ca²⁺, Cu²⁺, Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, NH⁴⁺.

3. Supply a solution of a dilute acid and alkali. Determine which is acidic and which is basic, giving two tests for each.

4. Add concentrated hydrochloric acid to each of the given substances, warm, make observations, identify any product and make deductions:

(a) copper oxide

(b) manganese dioxide.

Evaluation Criteria

The practical work/project work are to be evaluated by the subject teacher and by an external examiner independently. The marks allotment will be as per the following scheme:
