| Syllabus: | This unit is designed for students who have passed WACE Chemistry 3A/3B or equivalent. Students who have not previously studied chemistry should take Introduction to Chemistry 180. An exploration of the historical pattern of thought will illustrate that chemistry is both testable and contestable and that theories may be limited by or to certain conditions. Physical and chemical properties of molecules, such as polarity, intermolecular forces, colour and magnetism, will illustrate how a fundamental understanding of atomic theory can explain macroscopic observations. Energy is the interconvertible capacity to do work, however not all energy can be converted into work and is usually transferred in the form of heat. Heat transfer can be measured in some reactions to predict the heat transfer in other reactions. Electrochemical processes can be utilised to provide energy in the form of electricity without many of the limitations of other energy production systems. Applications of electrochemical energy conversion will be investigated. The purpose and limitations of chemical measurement will be explored by highlighting its role in everyday life and the breadth of techniques, methodologies and instruments available to perform analyses of relevant species. |
