The Chemistry 12 work is abstract and intensive, requiring a good problem-solving capability within both analytical and theoretical contexts. Mathematical concepts required beyond Chemistry 11 include logarithms and the ability to extract the roots of a binomial.
The Big Ideas include:
- Dynamic Equilibrium
- Solubility Equilibrium
- Acids and Bases
- Oxidation-Reduction
- Reaction Kinetics
Assignments and Reports: Lab reports required.
Remarks: A scientific electronic calculator is required for the course.
Evaluation is based on (but not limited to): assignments, lab reports, project work, tests, quizzes and a school-wide final examination.
Recommended: Chemistry 11 with at least a B and recommended marks of C+ or higher in Pre-Calculus 11
