UNIVERSITY OF SAN CARLOS–PATHWAYS Bridging the Gap 2016 (K to 12 Ready)
Course Title: General Chemistry 1 (Grade 11) Course Duration: 14 hours (2 hours per session, 7 sessions) Course Description This course covers the concepts of stoichiometry, gases and the gas laws, the fundamentals of solution chemistry, including reactions in aqueous solutions, and the basics of chemical kinetics. Course Objectives At the end of the summer program, the learner should be able to: 1. recall the concepts of chemical stoichiometry and do basic chemical calculations using chemical formulas and equations; 2. understand the chemistry of gases, including its properties, the gas laws and the Kinetic Molecular Theory; 3. distinguish types of solutions, factors affecting solubility, and colligative properties of solutions; 4. apply their knowledge on stoichiometry to reactions in aqueous solutions; and 5. understand the fundamental concepts of chemical kinetics.
