Calculations involving Moles
The definition of the mole, converting masses, volumes and concentrations to moles, reacting quantity calculations, use of Avogadro's number, and calculations in electrolysis.


Rates of Reaction
Collision theory and how it enables us to predict how different conditions will affect the rate of a reaction.
Experimental methods to determine the rate of a reaction, and the role of catalysts.
Energy Changes and Calorimetry
Endothermic and exothermic reactions, and the process of bond breaking and bond making to calculate how large the energy change during a reaction will be.
Calorimetry: the practical method for measuring the energy changes that accompany reactions.
Acids, Bases and Salts
The nature of acids, alkalis, bases and salts.
What are the different acid reactions which are used to make soluble salts, and the precipitation reactions which are used to make insoluble salts?
Equilibrium and Industrial Processes
Reversible reactions, the idea of chemical equilibrium, and how conditions affect the position of equilibrium, before considering the Haber Process and the Contact Process.
