Recommended: Chemistry 11

Equipment: A scientific calculator is required.

This challenging and interesting course includes lectures, individual work, demonstrations, activities and labs.

Topics covered include:

• Reactants must collide to react, and the reaction rate is dependent on the surrounding conditions.
• Dynamic equilibrium can be shifted by changes to the surrounding conditions.
• Saturated solutions are systems in equilibrium.
• Acid or base strength depends on the degree of ion dissociation.
• Oxidation and reduction are complementary processes that involve the gain or loss of electrons.
