CHE300

Level 3 Chemistry

Course Description

This course involves the study of oxidation-reduction reactions, spectroscopy topic, thermochemical principles & properties of particles. It also looks at the properties of organic compounds and equilibrium principles in aqueous solutions. The Chemistry 300 course develops an understanding of concepts, principles and models to explain chemical phenomena and systems.

Students will be assessed on a mix of internal and external achievement standards giving them a fair opportunity to gain endorsement.

Important - Provisional course enrolment is dependent on meeting course entry requirements, using the results from the completed internals and mock exams. If the provisional enrolment is unsuccessful, the final decision is at the discretion of the Head of Department using the end of year exams results.
