Chemistry - Te Mātai Matū
Course Description
The course provides a deeper understanding of why substances behave as they do and introduces students to analytical techniques used in consumer testing and detection of environmental pollutants. Students will learn theoretical concepts, practical skills, and applications of Chemistry including how to balance different types of chemical equations, calculate amounts of substances and concentrations of solutions, and learn the names and reactions of new families of chemical compounds. Some internal standards will have a significant practical component.
