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 so as 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 analytical methodology in collaborative settings to analyse various chemical samples including assessing the quality of the results and reporting and discussing the results so as to build professional capabilities in the experimental aspects of chemistry and chemistry communication; and,
5. Work effectively, ethically and safely in an individual or team context in a laboratory setting.
