Question 1

What will I learn in AP Chemistry?

Accepted Answer

This course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first year of college. Students will experience depth and breadth of understanding of chemical fundamentals, competence in dealing with chemical calculations, and experience in the nature and variety of laboratory experiments equivalent to that of a typical college course. Topics such as the atomic and molecular structure of matter, kinetic theory of gasses, chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetics, electrochemistry, and basic principles of thermodynamics are emphasized. A substantial portion of class time is spent on understanding and applying these concepts through chemical problem solving. Students develop the ability to think clearly and to express their ideas in writing with clarity and logic. In addition, the behavior of chemical systems is investigated in the laboratory. Students will develop a laboratory portfolio from reports that are submitted for each experiment. Each student is encouraged to take the AP Chemistry exam in May.
