Chemistry 1B

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Consolidate the underlying fundamental principles on which the chemistry discipline is based to build a foundation of knowledge from which to pursue further studies in chemistry and related sciences roles;
2. Apply the fundamental principles and skills of chemistry to their chosen discipline;
3. Solve structured predictable problems relating to the chemical nature of matter and its behaviour including problems in reaction rates and equilibrium, pH, nuclear equations, carbon compounds, biomolecules and nucleic acids;
4. Apply qualitative chemical methods to observe and record phenomena, synthesise compounds, assess results, and report findings to develop professional and critical laboratory skills in chemistry; and
5. Work effectively, ethically and safely in an individual or team context in a laboratory setting.
