Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Pollock.

In this course, you will study how atoms bond and react and also their properties once bonded and why they bond. The other external covers how we can reverse chemical reactions, the properties of acids and bases and how we can speed up the rate of a reaction. In one of the two internal standards you will apply the chemical skills of calculations and titrations to carry out a qualitative determination of an active ingredient in a consumer product and in the other, you will use qualitative chemistry to determine the organic functional groups present in a consumer product.
