In this class, students will learn the full AP chemistry curriculum as described on the unit list below. To finish the whole course independently a total of 36 hours is required in total. So, I recommend 3 times a week for 12 weeks. The following Topics will be covered weekly; Unit 1: Atomic Structure and Properties Mass spectroscopy of elements Periodic trends Valence electrons and ionic compounds Moles and molar mass Elemental composition of pure substances Composition of mixtures Atomic structure and electron configuration Photoelectron spectroscopy Unit 2: Molecular and Ionic Compound Structure and Properties Types of chemical bonds Intramolecular force and potential energy Structure of ionic solids Structure of metals and alloys Lewis diagrams Resonance and formal charge VSEPR and bond hybridization Unit 3: Intermolecular Forces and Properties Intermolecular forces Properties of solids Solids, liquids, and gases Ideal gas law Kinetic molecular theory Deviation from ideal gas law Solutions and mixtures Representations of solutions Separation of solutions and mixtures chromatography Solubility Spectroscopy and the electromagnetic spectrum Photoelectric effect Beer-Lambert Law Unit 4: Chemical Reactions Introduction for reactions Net ionic equations Representations of reactions Physical and chemical changes Stoichiometry Introduction to titration Types of chemical reactions Introduction to acid-base reactions Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions Unit 5: Kinetics Reaction rates Introduction to rate law Concentration changes over time Elementary reactions Collision model Reaction energy profile Introduction to reaction mechanisms Reaction mechanism and rate law Steady-state approximation Multistep reaction energy profile Catalysis Unit 6: Thermodynamics Endothermic and exothermic processes Energy diagrams Heat transfer and thermal equilibrium Heat capacity and calorimetry Energy of phase changes Introduction of enthalpy of reaction Bond enthalpies Enthalpy of formation Hess's Law Unit 7: Equilibrium Introduction to equilibrium Direction of reversible reactions Reaction quotient and equilibrium constant Calculating the equilibrium constant Magnitude of the equilibrium constant Properties of the equilibrium constant Calculating the equilibrium concentrations Representations of equilibrium Introduction to Le Chatelier's Principle Reaction quotient and Le Chatelier's Principle Introduction to solubility equilibria Common-ion effect pH and solubility Free energy of dissolution Unit 8: Acids and Bases Introduction to acids and bases pH and pOH of strong acids and bases Weak acid and base equilibria Acid-base reactions and buffers Acid-base titrations Molecular structures of acids and bases pH and pKa Properties of buffers Henderson-Hasselbalch equation Buffer capacity Unit 9: Applications of Thermodynamics Introduction to entropy Absolute entropy and entropy change Gibbs Free Energy and thermodynamic favorability Thermodynamic and kinetic control Free energy and equilibrium Coupled reactions Galvanic (Voltaic) and electrolytic cells Cell potential and free energy Cell potential under nonstandard conditions Electrolysis and Faraday's Law
