This document provides information about qualitative analysis, including identifying gases, cations, and anions in an unknown sample through a series of tests. It outlines the key steps in qualitative analysis: making preliminary observations of the sample, carrying out tests in a specific order, recording observations, drawing conclusions, and identifying the unknown substance. It also provides tables of solubility rules, expected observations for common gas tests and reactions with reagents to identify cations and anions. The goal of qualitative analysis is to use systematic testing to determine the components present in an unknown substance.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS
What is qualitative analysis?
Qualitative analysis is the analysis which deals with the determination or identification of the components of the unknown given chemical solid substance. The unknown chemical solid substance actually we talk about the solid salt which normally we are given but the name is unknown. The solid salt is placed into the watch-glass, then you are required to identify “cation” and “Anion” then chemical formula of the salt
SOLID SAMPLE [unknown salt]
This is the solid salt which contains the ions which you are required to identify.
Consider the solid salt in the watch glass below;
In this laboratory exercise we will separate and identify Cations dissolved in an Aqueous system. Since we will not quantify the amount of each Cation present, but instead merely discern its presence, such a scheme for separation and identification is referred to as a Qualitative Analysis. In our particular case, we will be testing for the presence of the following nine Cations:
Ag+, Pb2+, Cu2+, Bi3+, Fe3+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Ba2+, Na+

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

For your own safety, wear protective goggles and point the
test tube away from yourself and others when heating.

In this case, you can confirm its identity by

(D) If the burning splint is extinguished,
then the gas may be carbon dioxide,
water vapour, or some other gases.
(C) Insert a glowing splint (no fire) into the
mouth of the test tube. If the glowing

Note
The carbon dioxide should not be passed for too long, as the
limewater will turn clear again (due to the formation of soluble
calcium hydrogen carbonate), giving a false impression of a
negative test.
• Pour limewater (calcium hydroxide solution) into a test tube until
it reaches a depth of 2 cm from the bottom of the test tube.
• Stopper the reacting test tube with a delivery tube and pass the
gas into the limewater.

The cations can be identified using sodium hydroxide solution and
aqueous ammonia (ammonium hydroxide).
The cations react with the hydroxide ions in the alkali to form
insoluble metal hydroxides. These hydroxides appear as precipitates.
The cations can be identified from:
(a) the colour of the precipitate,
(b) the solubility of the precipitate in excess of the reagent.
26. Identification of cations
The unknown substance must be in solution form.
If not, a solution must be made as follows:
- soluble salt : dissolve in distilled water.
- insoluble salt : dissolve in a little dilute nitric acid.
Test using sodium hydroxide solution:
(a) Add sodium hydroxide solution drop
by drop to the unknown solution.
(b) Observe the precipitate formed and
note its colour.
(c) Add more sodium hydroxide solution (excess).
Shake the test tube and examine whether the
precipitate dissolves in excess sodium hydroxide
