In 8 Chemistry this term we will spend time learning the foundations of organic chemistry by looking at a range of functional groups that are used to differentiate a range of organic molecules and then apply this in context by looking at Spectroscopy.
Nearly all chemists use spectroscopic analysis every day to analyse the make up of different compounds. We will learn about three very popular spectroscopic techniques: Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy, NMR Spectroscopy, and Mass Spectroscopy. Then we will "decipher" mystery chemical structures using only spectroscopic information.
Secondly, We will focus on the second Internal which is all about Oxidation and Reduction Reactions. What's inside a battery? Let's find out! Come learn about the chemistry behind different types of batteries, and about the future of battery chemistry as the world looks for better batteries with higher energy density to power things like electric cars with even longer driving distances. It is worth 3 Credits
Internal assessment opportunity (AS91393 - 3 credits).
There are two assessment opportunities:
AS91338 Spectroscopy - Internal worth 3 credits
AS91393 Oxidation Reduction Reactions - Internal worth 3 credits
