Year 12 Chemistry VIC Curriculum We Cover
Year 12 VCE Chemistry curriculum enables students to examine a range of chemical, biochemical and geophysical phenomena through the exploration of the nature of chemicals and chemical processes. It provides continuing study pathways within the discipline and leads to a range of careers. Branches of chemistry include organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry and biochemistry.
In addition, chemistry is applied in many fields of endeavour including agriculture, bushfire research, dentistry, dietetics, education, engineering, environmental sciences, forensic science, forestry, horticulture, medicine, metallurgy, meteorology, pharmacy, sports science, toxicology, veterinary science and viticulture.
VCE Chemistry includes 4 units. Students study Unit 1 and Unit 2 in Year 11 and they study Units 3 and 4 in Year 12. VCE Chemistry syllabus for Year 12 includes two units:
Unit 3: How can chemical processes be designed to optimise efficiency? Unit 4: How are organic compounds categorised, analysed and used?
In Unit 3, students compare and evaluate different chemical energy resources, including fossil fuels, biofuels, galvanic cells and fuel cells. This unit includes two main areas of study:
- What are the options for energy production?
- How can the yield of a chemical product be optimised?
Different topics included in this unit are:
- Obtaining energy from fuels
- Fuel choices
- Galvanic cells as a source of energy
- Fuel cells as a source of energy
- Rate of chemical reactions
- Extent of chemical reactions
- Production of chemicals by electrolysis
- Rechargeable batteries
In Unit 4 of VCE Chemistry, Year 12 students will study the ways in which organic structures are represented and named. They will process data from instrumental analyses of organic compounds to confirm or deduce organic structures, and perform volumetric analyses to determine the concentrations of organic chemicals in mixtures. This unit includes three main areas of study:
- How can the diversity of carbon compounds be explained and categorised?
- What is the chemistry of food?
- Practical investigation
Different topics included in this unit are:
- Structure and nomenclature of organic compounds
- Categories, properties and reactions of organic compounds
- Analysis of organic compounds
- Key food molecules
- Metabolism of food in the human body
- Energy content of food
- Independent, dependent and controlled variables
- Volumetric analysis, instrumental analysis, calorimetry and/or construction of electrochemical cells
- Precision, accuracy, reliability and validity of data
- Minimisation of experimental bias
New Things Grade 12 Students Will Learn in Chemistry
The VCE curriculum might add some new topics in Year 12 Chemistry from 2023. It is expected that concepts like Atom economy, specific green chemistry principles in relation to energy production and the design of primary cells and fuel cells, production of ‘green hydrogen’, and sustainability of ethanol and bioethanol production will be added to the curriculum to help students master Chemistry concepts in depth.
Overcome Your Learning Challenges With Year 12 Chemistry Tutors
Year 12 Chemistry students often find themselves confused about the concepts that they learn in this subject. It is primarily because they are presented with a lot of information in one chapter. It takes time and skill to process all the information and master the concepts. For many students practical realisation of chemistry is difficult. Although students perform Chemistry experiments, the concepts remain abstract to them. Last, but not least, students come across a variety of terms and vocabulary in Year 12 Chemistry. This also poses a challenge for students.
Year 12 Chemistry tutors at CrunchGrade will help students overcome all their learning challenges with personalised guidance. Our tutors will match your learning style and alter their teaching methods to ensure that you learn every concept with ease.
What Our Year 12 Chemistry Tutors Help You Achieve?
With CrunchGrade’s Year 12 Chemistry VIC tutoring, students will be able to achieve the following:
- Students will be able to compare fuels quantitatively with reference to combustion products and energy outputs
- They will apply knowledge of the electrochemical series to design, construct and test galvanic cells, and evaluate energy resources based on energy efficiency, renewability and environmental impact
- They will apply rate and equilibrium principles to predict how the rate and extent of reactions can be optimised
- They will be able to explain how electrolysis is involved in the production of chemicals and in the recharging of batteries
- They will be able to compare the general structures and reactions of the major organic families of compounds
- They will be able to deduce structures of organic compounds using instrumental analysis data and design reaction pathways for the synthesis of organic molecules and more!
Important Topics in Year 12 Chemistry VIC Syllabus
The Year 12 Chemistry VIC syllabus includes many important topics like Le Chatelier’s principle, equilibrium, heat capacity of water, thermochemical equations, redox reactions and galvanic cells. Topics from the area of study ‘How can the yield of a chemical product be optimised?’, like Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curves, comparison of exothermic and endothermic reactions are also important. Unit 4 also includes some crucial topics of Chemistry like nomenclature of organic compounds, mass spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and concentrations of organic chemicals in mixtures are also important.
Challenges in Tutoring Chemistry to Year 12 Students
Many times teaching chemistry concepts to Year 12 students can become tough. One of the main reasons for that could be the lack of a solid conceptual foundation of Chemistry concepts like chemical reactions, types of chemical reactions, balancing chemical equations, equilibrium, etc. Since students do not have basic understanding of chemistry concepts, teaching them advanced level concepts is tough. This is why we, at CrunchGrade, provide students with personalised learning programs that cater to their learning needs. Our tutors will assess your level of understanding and then teach you the concepts of Chemistry accordingly.
