Course Description and Prerequisites
This course uses a college-level textbook to explore the more mathematical and conceptually advanced topics in inorganic chemistry. These topics build on and add to a student’s skills in chemistry and mathematical problem solving. The topics include: stoichiometry, products of reactions, oxidation-reduction, electrochemistry, thermochemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics and equilibrium (phase, solution and acid/base). Students are encouraged to develop more independence and confidence in their learning. The importance of the experimental nature of the subject is stressed through laboratory work. This is a college-level class, and students are required to sit for the Advanced Placement Chemistry exam. Students receive Honors credit for this course. There will be a summer assignment for this course.
PREREQUISITE: Honors Chemistry (or Chemistry with summer work and a placement exam in August) and permission of instructor.
