PREFACE to the Second Edition

Over a period of time, results from a few institutes have been exceptional in JEE Main as well as Advanced. The
heart of shining results revolves around exceptional faculty team in these institutes and its wonderful education
system.
GRB Kota Question Bank (Physical Chemistry) has been written to assist those sincere students who are unable to
access huge volume of questions solved in these various reputed institutes.
The GRB Kota Question Bank is a collection (from a research of more than 16 years) of all important questions framed
and discussed in reputed coaching institutes, as well as relevant questions of National Olympiads of various countries like
India, US, UK, Canada, Australia etc. Many of my students have brought laurels to our country by fetching Gold Medals in
IJSO, ICHO as well as cracked JEE Advanced in TOP-100 ranks.
All varieties of questions viz. Single choice (sub-topicwise), Multiple choice, Assertion-reasoning, Comprehension
Based, Matrix-match and Subjective (integer type) has been covered for students’ benefit. The book has been written in
two parts. Part-I contains all the class 11 topics taught in reputed coaching institutes, while Part-II contains topics of class
12.
The sequence of the chapters in the book is the same as taught in leading coaching institutes of INDIA. Hence, any
coaching institute can very well use this book, for exhaustive problem solving for their students.
What makes this book special?—A Chapter on ‘Graphical interpretation’ has been introduced in Part-II. This
chapter covers graph based questions from all physical chemistry chapters. This will play an important role in
concept building.
It is almost guaranteed that, a student who solves the questions given in the GRB Kota Question Bank will be miles
ahead in his / her preparation of JEE/KVPY/Chemistry Olympiad/ IJSO.
To help the student more, hints and solutions have also been given to almost all the questions. GRB Kota Question
Bank has been designed in such a manner that any student who has studied NCERT of Class X, XI and XII can easily learn
advance concepts from this book.
I would like to sincerely acknowledge my Teachers, my Students, my Parents, my Friends, my Wife and my lovely
Daughters, who encouraged and supported me to compile this book. A special thanks to my colleagues—Dr. Sonal Rajora,
Mr. Girish Gaur and Mr. ShashikantVaishnav, who also contributed in their respective subjects to bring out a complete
study material for the benefit of students at large. I am also thankful to Shri Manoj Kumar Bathla, Proprietor, G.R. Bathla
& Sons and Mr. Sugam Bathla for publishing and distributing the book across India.
Special thanks to my students Niyati, Jash, Sovesh, Poojan, Jaysheel, Mudita, Shrey, Dhruv, Naman, Mohit, Pratham
who helped in making appropriate corrections/modifications in the book.
Any suggestions/ improvements from the readers are most welcome!

NOTE TO THE STUDENTS

Dear Student,
It is your great fortune to have this book in your hands. If this book is carefully handled then, be assured that you are
successful! Only time is separating your success.
Based on my teaching experience of more than 16 years, I would suggest the following to get the best out of this book:-
1. Always keep an OMR handy while solving questions. Avoid solving questions in the book. If you can’t arrange an
OMR, then, write your answers in an A4 sheet.
2. Always solve questions in a timed manner. Ideal time duration is 60 minutes.
3. Before the time is complete, do not see the answers or solutions.
4. Be honest, while checking the answers. The questions you miss or wrongly attempt must be marked in RED.
5. Reattempting these RED marked questions, will help you tone up your preparation.
6. After 60 minutes, do some introspection of what better can be done with the missed or wrongly attempted
questions. Reviewing the concepts for those problems is a must.
7. Be observant in checking all the options. Sometimes, rejection of options may help you arrive at the correct
answer.
8. For Physical Chemistry, in a span of 60 minutes we can solve approximately 30 questions. So, our target should be
to solve at least 20 questions and go upto30 eventually.
9. After attempting a chapter completely, please do attempt graph based questions from Graphical Interpretation
chapter (Part-II of Physical Chemistry), so that fine tuning of concepts from that topic is done.
Do remember, that key to success in Physical Chemistry is to not get stuck with a single problem, MOVE ON! Let
your higher intelligence work on it. After your complete attempt of 20-30 questions, come back to resolve those stuck up
questions.
This book will help you achieve mastery in Physical Chemistry through problem solving.
All the Best for your Future! Your future is now in your hands…
