Qualitative analysis guides

           QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS GUIDE       

During the implementation of National Examinations in Chemistry practical’s, the National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) observed that, candidates from different centers have been using varieties of Qualitative Analysis Guides (QAG) to identify ions in the given unknown compounds. Some of the guides were not approved by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. Further follow up by the NECTA revealed that, some guidelines had incorrect chemical symbols and formulae, inconsistent information and typographic errors. It was also revealed that, those guides were used by chemistry teachers in teaching practical lessons in schools, hence inconsistency in delivering the subject content to students. The National Examinations Council has therefore prepared this Qualitative Analysis Guide booklet to address those challenges. The objective of constructing this document is to have a identical guide which will be used by candidates when writing their chemistry practical examinations at ordinary level secondary education.
