Chemistry 12 is an advanced course in chemistry, bridging Chemistry 11 to the experience that students will have in a university level chemistry course. It focuses on 3 concepts: chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium and oxidation reduction reactions. Chemical equilibrium is by far the most prominent topic and includes solubility and acid base equilibria. Understanding, the concept of equilibrium early in the course is fundamental to the students overall success in Chemistry 12. While a basic proficiency in algebra is important in the study of both Chemistry 11 and 12, good algebra skills and to a lesser extent the understanding of logarithms are critical to student success in Chemistry 12.
