2023 WAEC CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL ANSWER: 

Important Note for Question 1

• Use your school’s endpoint (average titre value) wherever you see ours (15.15 cm³).

• Replace 15.15 in (1b) and calculate with it.

• If your school wants to use our value, then your chemistry teacher must submit an endpoint similar to ours without much difference (e.g. 15.15, 15.20, 15.30, etc.)

👉 Example:

• Our calculation: 0.1 × 15.15 ÷ 1000

• If your school’s endpoint is 12.50, your calculation should be:
  0.1 × 12.50 ÷ 1000

(1a) Experimental Setup

• Volume of pipette used, VA = 25.0 cm³

• Indicator used = Methyl Orange

Table of Burette Readings:

Burette Reading	Rough Titre	1st Titre	2nd Titre
Final Burette Reading (cm³)	25.60	32.80	26.40
Initial Burette Reading (cm³)	1.20	8.70	2.30
Volume of HCl used (cm³)	24.40	24.10	24.10

Average burette reading:

$$\frac{24.10+24.10}{2}=24.10\text{ cm³}$$

Therefore, volume of HCl used = 24.10 cm³

(1b) Calculation Example

$$\text{Molarity of acid}=\frac{0.1\times \text{Average titre value}}{1000}$$

• If using our endpoint:

$$0.1\times 15.15÷1000=1.515\times {10}^{-3}\text{ mol/dm³}$$

• If your school’s endpoint is 12.50:

$$0.1\times 12.50÷1000=1.25\times {10}^{-3}\text{ mol/dm³}$$

 Always use your school’s value unless instructed otherwise by your chemistry teacher

No (3ai)

(3a) Test with NaOH

(i) If a few drops of NaOH are added to 2 cm³ of Pb(NO₃)₂ solution:

• A white precipitate of Lead(II) hydroxide [Pb(OH)₂] is formed.

Equation:

$$Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NaOH → Pb(OH)₂ + 2NaNO₃$$

(ii) If a few drops of NaOH are added to 2 cm³ of FeSO₄ solution:

• A green precipitate of Iron(II) hydroxide [Fe(OH)₂] is formed.

• On exposure to air, Fe(OH)₂ is oxidized to Iron(III) hydroxide [Fe(OH)₃], a reddish-brown precipitate.

Equations:

$$FeSO₄ + 2NaOH → Fe(OH)₂ + Na₂SO₄$$ $$4Fe(OH)₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O → 4Fe(OH)₃$$

Observation: Green precipitate turns reddish-brown in air.

How To Pass 2026 Waec Chemistry Practical Alternative Question and Answers

To pass the WAEC Chemistry Practical exam, I can offer you some general tips:

1. Study the syllabus: Review the WAEC Chemistry syllabus to understand the topics and practical exercises that may be covered in the exam. Pay attention to the required laboratory techniques and procedures.
2. Practice experiments: Set up a makeshift laboratory at home or utilize your school's laboratory facilities to practice the practical experiments outlined in the syllabus. Perform the experiments following the instructions and record your observations and results accurately.
3. Understand concepts and theories: Study the theoretical aspects of Chemistry to have a solid understanding of the principles behind the practical experiments. This will help you explain the purpose, expected outcomes, and underlying theories during the exam.
4. Safety precautions: Familiarize yourself with safety measures and precautions in the laboratory. Be aware of proper handling and disposal of chemicals, use safety equipment such as goggles and lab coats, and follow all guidelines to ensure a safe environment.
5. Time management: During the exam, manage your time effectively. Read the instructions carefully, plan your approach for each experiment, and allocate time accordingly. Be mindful of the time available and try to complete all tasks within the given duration.
6. Review past papers: Solve previous years' WAEC Chemistry Practical papers to get acquainted with the format and types of questions asked. This will give you an idea of the level of difficulty and help you identify areas where you need more practice.
7. Seek guidance: If you're having difficulty with specific concepts or experiments, don't hesitate to reach out to your teacher or instructor for clarification. They can provide additional guidance and support to help you better understand the material.

Remember, the key to success in any exam is thorough preparation, understanding of the subject matter, and following ethical practices. Focus on building your knowledge, practicing experiments, and applying critical thinking skills during the exam.

Best of luck with your studies and the 2026 WAEC Chemistry Practical exam
