 Scientific calculator required
1. Thermochemical Changes (20%) exam approximately March 2
A study of energy as it relates to chemical changes. We will quantify (math, yeh!!) the energy
involved in thermochemical systems and consider the various aspects of energy use on society.
General Outcome (GO) 1: You will be able to determine and interpret energy changes in
chemical reactions.
GO2: You will be able to explain and communicate energy changes in chemical reactions.
Key concepts:
 Enthalpy of
 Molar enthalpy
 Calorimetry
formation
 Energy diagrams
 Fuels and energy
 Enthalpy of reaction
efficiency
 Activation energy
 ΔH notation
 Catalysts
 Hess’ law
2. Electrochemical Changes (30%) exam approximately April 6
A study of electrochemical change and analysis of the matter and energy changes within a
system.
GO 1: You will explain the nature of oxidation-reduction reactions
GO 2: you will apply the principles of oxidation-reduction to electrochemical cells.
Key Concepts:
 Oxidation
 Half-reaction
 electrolysis
 Reduction
 Disproportionation
 standard cell
potential
 Oxidizing agent
 Spontaneity
 Faraday’s law
 Reducing agent
 Standard reduction
potential
 Corrosion
 Oxidation-reduction
 voltaic cell
reaction (redox0
 Oxidation number
 electrolytic cell
3. Equilibrium, Acids and Bases in Chemical Changes (30%)exam approximately May 18
The concept of chemical change eventually attaining a state of equilibrium is developed. There
is a focus on the quantitative treatment of reaction systems involving acid/base solutions.
GO 1: You will explain that there is a balance of opposing reactions in chemical equilibrium
systems
GO 2: You will determine quantitative relationships in simple equilibrium systems.
Key Concepts:
 Chemical
 Reversibility of
 Le Chatelier’s
equilibrium systems
reactions
principle
 Equilibrium law
expression
 Equilibrium
constants Kc, Kw, Ka,
Kb
 Acid-base
equilibrium
 Bronsted-Lowry
acids and bases
 Titration curves
 Conjugate pairs of
acids and bases
 Amphiprotic
substances
 Buffers
 indicators
4. Chemical Changes of Organic Compounds (20%) exam approximately June 15
This is an introduction to organic chemistry. You will learn about common organic compounds
and describe their properties and reactions. The significance of organic chemistry is explored.
GO 1:You will explore organic compounds as a common form of matter
GO 2: You will describe chemical reactions of organic compounds.
Key Concepts:
 Organic compounds
 Saturated/unsaturate
 Combustion
d hydrocarbons
reactions
 Naming organic
 Functional groups
 Polymerization
compounds
identifying alcohols,
 Structural formulas
 Addition,
carboxylic acids,
