Chemistry - Chemical Equilibrium

Practise 12 NEST (NISER) previous year questions on Chemical Equilibrium, compiled from papers spanning 2015 to 2026. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty NEST (NISER) tests.

Chemical Equilibrium has been asked in 9 of the 16 years of NEST (NISER) papers analysed (2011–2026), with 12 questions in all. 8% of them were easy, 83% moderate and 8% tough. Most of its questions came from 2024, with 2 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 4 questions across 4 papers, about 1 per paper.

The chapter's 2 topics are not weighted equally: Law of Mass Action, Equilibrium Constant (Kc and Kp) and its Application (9 questions, 75%) and Le chatelier's principle (3 questions, 25%) have been asked the most. Law of Mass Action, Equilibrium Constant (Kc and Kp) and its Application has also led over the last five years, with 5 questions. Law of Mass Action, Equilibrium Constant (Kc and Kp) and its Application has produced the most tough questions (1).

2.Are these questions only from NEST (NISER), or from other exams too?

These are NEST (NISER) questions specifically for the Chemical Equilibrium chapter. Questions from other exams like JEE Main or NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) are organised separately under their respective exam sections.

3.Is Chemical Equilibrium an important chapter for NEST (NISER) Chemistry?

Chemical Equilibrium has appeared in 9 of the 16 years of NEST (NISER) papers covered here, with 12 questions across 12 papers - about one per paper it appears in.

4.What is the difficulty level of Chemical Equilibrium questions in NEST (NISER)?

Of the 12 questions analysed for this chapter, 8% are easy, 83% moderate and 8% tough. 2024 had the most, with 2 questions.

5.Which topics in Chemical Equilibrium should I focus on?

These topics have carried the most weightage in Chemical Equilibrium:

  • Law of Mass Action, Equilibrium Constant (Kc and Kp) and its Application - 9 questions (75%)
  • Le chatelier's principle - 3 questions (25%)
  • Law of Mass Action, Equilibrium Constant (Kc and Kp) and its Application has produced the most tough questions (1).
