WAEC Chemistry Practical Specimen 2026/2027

By WAEC2026 January 7, 2026 Blog, WAEC Specimen 2026 0 Comments

The WAEC Chemistry Practical Specimen 2026/2027 requires that candidates have standard lab equipment like burettes and pipettes, plus common reagents for qualitative tests (NaOH, HCl, litmus, etc.) and quantitative titrations (e.g., KMnO₄/FeSO₄ or acid/base), plus specific labelled solutions (like A, B, C, containing defined substances like Na₂CO₃ or HCl), and basic items like burners, test tubes, and spatulas, focusing on titration, salt analysis, and reducing sugar tests (Fehling’s).

The West African Examination Council (WAEC)will publish the 2026/2027 WASSCE practical examination specimens for school candidates. The specimens cover key science subjects, including biology, physics, agricultural science, and animal husbandry, and are intended to guide students in their practical preparations. All candidates sitting for the 2026 WASSCE are advised to study these specimens carefully, as they outline the materials and areas likely to be tested in the practical exams.

NOTE – Each candidate should be supplied with the following, where ‘n’ is the candidate’s serial number. (a.) 150 cm³ of tetraoxosulphate(VI) solution in a corked flask or bottle, labelled ‘An’. These should all be the same containing 5.5 cm³ of concentrated H₂SO₄ per dm³ of solution. (b.) 150cm3 KOH solution, in a corked flask or bottle labelled ‘Bn’. These should be same containing 5.6g of KOH per dm3 of solution. (c.) One spatulaful: (NH₄)₂SO₄.FeSO₄.6H₂O in a specimen bottle labelled ‘Cn’.

WAEC Chemistry Practical questions to expect. Many WAEC candidates find it difficult to answer the WAEC practical chemistry correctly due to not understanding the questions. We are going to be releasing the most common repeated WAEC chemistry practical specimen questions, which are likely to come out.

Waec Chemistry Practical Alternative A

Dilute sodium hydroxide solution
Dilute ammonia solution
Dilute hydrochloric acid
Distilled water
Red and blue litmus paper
Fehlings solution (I II)
Concentrated tetraoxosulphate (vi) solution (H2SO4)
Freshly prepared iron (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI) solution (Fe2SO4), burette (50cm 3), pipette (20cm 3 or 25cm 3), filtration apparatus, methyl orange, boiling tube, test tubes, SALTS: CuO,ZnSO4, Na2CO3

Measurement Instructions

One burette of 50cm3 capacity
One pipette, either 20cm3 or 25cm3. All candidates at one centre must use pipettes of the same volume. These should be clean and free from grease

Waec Chemistry Practical Alternative B

i) Red and blue litmus paper
(ii) Aqueous ammonia
(iii) Dilute hydrochloric acid
(iv) Dilute sodium hydroxide solution
(v) Barium chloride solution
(vi) Dilute trioxonitrate (V) acid
(vii) Silver trioxonitrate (V) acid

(a) One burette of 50cm^3 Capacity
(b) One pipette, either 20cm^3 or 25 cm³. All candidates at one centre must use pipettes of the same volume. These should be clean and free from grease.
(c) The usual apparatus for titration;
(d) The usually apparatus and reagents for qualitative work include the following, with all reagents appropriately labeled:

Conclusion

The WAEC 2025 practical specimens are designed to help students prepare effectively for their practical examinations. By carefully reading instructions, practicing experiments ahead of time, observing outcomes closely, and asking questions when unsure, students can build confidence and improve their performance.

These specimens are important because they familiarize candidates with exam tools and materials, help them master correct procedures, and deepen their understanding of the scientific concepts behind each experiment. With the release of the WAEC Practical Specimen PDF for all subjects for the 2026/2027 academic session, students now have a valuable resource to guide their preparation and achieve better results in their practical exams.
