Explanatory Notes
1
This achievement standard is derived from The New Zealand Curriculum, Learning
Media, Ministry of Education, 2007, Level 7. The standard is aligned to the Nature of
Science achievement objectives and the Material World achievement objectives, and
is related to the material in the Teaching and Learning Guide for Chemistry, Ministry
of Education, 2010 at http://seniorsecondary.tki.org.nz.
This standard is also derived from Te Marautanga o Aotearoa. For details of Te
Marautanga o Aotearoa achievement objectives to which this standard relates, see
the Papa Whakaako for the relevant learning area.
Procedures outlined in Safety and Science: a Guidance Manual for New Zealand
Schools, Learning Media, Ministry of Education, 2000, should be followed.
Carry out procedures to identify ions involves collecting primary data and using these
observations to identify ions in solution using a procedure provided.
Carry out procedures to justify the identification of ions involves writing balanced
equations for all the reactions where precipitates are formed.

Ions to be identified will be limited to: Ag+, Al3+, Ba2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Mg2+, Pb2+,
Na+, Zn2+, Cl, CO32, I, NO3, OH, SO42. Na+ and NO3 are identified by a process
of elimination.
Complex ions are limited to [FeSCN]2+ and those formed when OH(aq) or NH3(aq)
react with cations listed in EN 5 above, ie [Ag(NH3)2]+, [Al(OH)4], [Pb(OH)4]2,
[Zn(OH)4]2, [Zn(NH3)4]2+, [Cu(NH3)4]2+.
