CBSE Class 10 chemistry experiments, run online

The chemistry half of Class 10 Science turns on four chapters and the practicals that go with them. Each simulator below matches one of those chapters, gives you the observation the way the record book wants it, and explains what is actually happening in the flask.

Topic by topic

Useful for the practical file, for viva preparation, and for the board questions that ask you to predict an observation rather than recall a definition.

Chemical reactions and equationsCombination, decomposition, displacement, double displacement and redox, plus balancing and conservation of mass.
Metals and non-metalsThe reactivity series, reactions of metals with water, and extraction ideas.
Corrosion and its preventionRusting conditions, the copper patina, silver tarnish, and how each is slowed.
Acids, bases and saltsIndicators, the pH scale, and the chlor-alkali process with its three products.
ElectrolysisSplitting water, what forms at each electrode, and the 2:1 gas ratio.
Rate of reactionWhat speeds a reaction up, tested one variable at a time.
Atoms, matter and the periodic tableAtomic structure, states of matter and periodic trends, for the theory behind the practicals.

Common questions

Can I use these for my practical record file?

Yes. Each lab shows the apparatus, the readings and the observation in the order a record book asks for them, so you can write up a proper aim, procedure, observation and conclusion. Do check your school's format - some teachers want a specific layout or a diagram drawn by hand.

Do these cover the CBSE viva questions?

The common ones, yes. Most viva questions ask why an observation happens rather than what it is, and every simulator explains the chemistry next to the apparatus - why the magnesium ribbon is cleaned first, why rusting needs both water and oxygen, why the hydrogen volume is twice the oxygen volume.

Which chapters do these belong to?

Chemical Reactions and Equations, Acids Bases and Salts, Metals and Non-metals, and Carbon and its Compounds are the chemistry chapters in Class 10 Science. The labs are grouped by topic above so you can find the one matching whatever you are on.

Will it work on a phone?

Yes. Every lab is built for a phone screen and several are better in landscape - there is a rotate button on the page to switch.
