UP Board Class 12 Chemistry 2026 Set 347-EA Paper Design and Mark Split

The Set 347-EA paper keeps the usual UPMSP Intermediate Chemistry layout, moving from one-mark objective questions up to five-mark long-answer questions with internal choice. Students who managed their time across the shorter answers first found the paper comfortable.

  • Total questions: 26 questions, arranged in sections that rise in mark value
  • Total marks: 70, to be answered in 3 hours 15 minutes
  • Objective block: 6 single-answer MCQs, 1 mark each
  • Short answer: very short and short questions worth 2 marks each
  • Descriptive block: longer questions carrying 3 marks and 4 marks
  • Long answer: the last two questions are 5 marks each and both come with an internal OR choice

Chapters That Carried the Most Marks in the Chemistry 2026 Set 347-EA Paper

Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry shared most of the paper, so students who were firm on kinetics, electrochemistry and reaction mechanisms scored quickly.

  • Chemical Kinetics: order of a reaction from the rate law, temperature-independent quantities, half-life of a first-order reaction and the link between order and molecularity
  • Electrochemistry: the Nernst equation for a Cr-Cd cell, electrode potential and emf, and the labelled hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell with its electrode reactions
  • Coordination Compounds and d-block: magnetic moment comparison, why [NiCl4]2- is paramagnetic but [Ni(CO)4] is diamagnetic, transition metals as catalysts and valence bond treatment of [CoF6]3- and [Ni(CN)4]2-
  • Haloalkanes and Haloarenes: the SN1 reactivity order, the full SN2 mechanism of an alkyl halide and reagents for converting alcohols to alkyl chlorides
  • Oxygen and Nitrogen Organics: acidity comparison of substituted benzoic acids, IUPAC naming, aniline and diazonium reactions, phenol nitration and diethyl ether preparation
  • Solutions and Biomolecules: the van't Hoff factor, mole fraction of ethylene glycol, peptide bonds, water-soluble vitamins and the cyclic structure of glucose
