Units and Topics Covered:
Unit 1: Thermochemistry
- Determine endothermic and exothermic reactions
- Calculate Bond Energy
- Calculate Molar Enthalpy, Entropy

chemical reaction
- Use Solubility Rules to predict the formation of precipitates
- Describe the Collision theory and its connection to factors involved in
alerting reaction rates
Unit 3: Acids and Bases
- Calculate the pH of an acid or a base given its concentration, and vice
versa

- Explain how acid/base indicators function
- Determine the concentration of an acid or a base solution using
stoichiometry

Class Work: Class work will consist of Practice Problems and Worksheets
assigned in class that you will have time to complete. It is expected that you
must show all steps for calculation questions and that all questions are
answered in complete sentences. Marks will be lost if all work is not shown
and/or sentences are not provided. Practice Problems are due the class after
they are assigned. Working together is encouraged however copied work
will be given a mark of zero.
Lab Reports: You will be given a criteria heet to follow for all lab reports
that you write. Lab activities will be conducted in groups selected by the
teacher, however lab reports must be handed in individually. Copied lab
reports will be given a mark of zero.
Assignments: Assignments will be assigned prior to chapter quizzes or Unit
tests in order to review the concepts that will be covered by the quiz or test.
Projects may also be assigned throughout the course, and these are classified
as assignments with regards to your grade in this course. Assignments will
be longer and more detailed than class work and often time extra time will
be needed in order to complete these. Due dates of assignments will be
determined by the teacher but will be close to the dates of quizzes or tests.
Again working together is encouraged however handing in identical work as
a peer will result in a mark of zero.
Quizzes: Quizzes will be given at the conclusion of a chapter and may be
given throughout the chapter depending on length of chapter or if additional
practice is needed.
Tests: Tests are always given at the conclusion of a unit and may be given
during Midterm Week if the conclusion of a unit is not near this week. Tests
cover more material than quizzes and will be longer in length and duration.
**** If you have missed an assessment please present a note stating the
reason of your absence. Be prepared to complete the assessment the day you
return to school.
**** There will be one day a week to be determined where I will tutor after
school from 3-4. It is not required to go to this session however it is
strongly suggested that if you want extra help that you come to this session.
