Southern Cross Campus College Course Outline 2013
Subject name: CHEMISTRY
Subject code: CHE301
Introduction:
This course is made up of 3 internally assessed standards and 3 externally assessed standards. The 3 internally
assessed standards require students to carry out practical investigations and then use the data collected to
write a report or to solve simple quantitative problems.
Topic Guide
Semester One
91387 - This standard involves carrying out a titration
activity to find the concentration of a given solution.
91393 – Students will carry out oxidation reduction
reactions and then write a report on their investigations.
91392 - This standard involves demonstrating
understanding of: solubility product, weak acids and bases,
buffer solutions and titration graphs.
Semester Two
91389 – Students will collect, analyse and write a
report on a chemical process in around the world.
91391 - The organic compounds involved are
alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, carboxylic
acids, aldehydes, ketones amines and amides.
91390 - This standard involves demonstrating
understanding of thermochemical principles and
the properties of particles and substances.
