FBISE PRACTICAL BASED ASSESMENT (PBA)

CHEMISTRY HSSC-I

Guidelines/instructions for teachers/paper setters:

i. There will be two Sections in PBA paper. In Section-A there will be

one question having parts in it. Similarly, in Section-B there will be
one question having parts in it.
ii. In Section-A, Question No. 1 will be based only on one experiment
taken from Part-I of the list of practicals.
iii. In Section-B, Question No. 2 will be based on multiple experiments
taken from Part-II of the list of practicals.
iv. Ratio of Part-I practicals is 60% while ratio of Part-II practicals is
40% in the PBA paper.
v. Draw diagram(s) if asked for.
vi. In the new pattern of practicals i.e. Practical Based Assessment
(PBA), there will be no marks for practical note books and viva voce.
However, students may record procedures, observations, apparatus
and calculation etc on any type of plain papers/work sheets / practical
folder for their future memory of all aspects of practical performance
in order to attempt the PBA Examination amicably.
vii. It may be noted that performance of all the prescribed practicals is
mandatory in the laboratories during the whole academic year and
only those students will be able to attempt the PBA who will have
performed the practicals in the laboratories as per requirement of each
practical.

SECTION-A

Q 1: Purpose of this experiment is to determine the percentage purity of the sample solution by
volumetric method when the given solution contains 6 gms of Na2CO3 dissolved per dm3.

Apparatus used:
Burette, pipette, funnel, conical, flask, beakers, iron stand.
Chemical used:
Methyl orange, Na2CO3, 0.1M HCl,
Distilled water, solution of 6g of Na2CO3 in 1dm3
10cm3 of Na2CO3 is added to conical flask and HCl in the burette.
See on the figure given below and record the observations in table.
