This subject is a bridging chemistry subject designed to be equivalent of Queensland
Senior high school chemistry (and its equivalents in other Australian states). Completion
of this subject satisfies the chemistry entry requirements for many JCU degree programs.
Content includes chemistry as a science discipline; matter and atoms; elements and
the Periodic Table; chemical bonding; molecular shapes and polarity; introduction
to organic compounds and structure; moles; reaction stoichiometry; limiting reagents;
concentrations; intermolecular interactions; gases; phase transitions and heat capacity;
reaction kinetics; enthalpy and entropy; fuels and energy; chemical equilibrium; acids
and bases; redox reactions; introduction to chemical synthesis, analytical and separation
techniques.
Learning Outcomes
- explain that chemistry is a broad discipline that underpins, and is influenced by,
other scientific fields;
- explain basic chemical principles and the testable and contestable nature of these
principles;
- use fundamental chemical terminology and the periodic table to solve chemical problems;
- solve qualitative and quantitative problems in the chemical sciences;
- interpret data in both qualitative and quantitative terms and to use these as evidence
toward a scientifically defensible argument.
