Chemistry For Grade 12
Introduction
Grade 12 chemistry includes advanced topics such as thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and chemical kinetics. Students analyze equilibria in chemical systems, including solubility and acid-base equilibrium. Organic chemistry extends to biomolecules, polymers, and synthesis reactions. Spectroscopy and chromatography are introduced as analytical techniques. Emphasis is placed on quantitative problem-solving, experimental design, and data interpretation. Students apply their knowledge to real-world problems, such as environmental chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and industrial processes, developing critical thinking and research skills.
