  It covers the following topics:

  • Periodic table and atomic structure: Periodic trends in atomic radii, ionization energy, melting/boiling points, and reacting moles of group metals with hydrochloric acid
  • Thermochemistry and energetics: Heating values of hydrocarbon fuels, standard molar enthalpy of combustion using Hess's law cycles, lattice energy, hydration energy, and enthalpy of solution of calcium chloride
  • Nitrogen and its compounds: Laboratory synthesis of nitrogen (I) oxide, combustion of magnesium in nitrogen oxides, industrial uses of nitric (V) acid, and mass calculations in ammonium nitrate fertilizer manufacture
  • Physical chemistry and solubility: Temperature-solubility curves of potassium chlorate, crystal formation points, and industrial applications of fractional crystallization
  • Electrochemistry: Standard reduction potentials, reference electrode realignment, electrochemical cell diagrams, and quantitative Faraday's law calculations for gold electroplating
  • Industrial metallurgy: Extraction of iron in the blast furnace (charge materials, zone thermal gradients, redox reactions, cast iron versus wrought iron), iron chlorination, and radioisotope decay (Iron-60 to Nickel-60)
  • Organic chemistry and polymers: Isomerism of alkynes, condensation and addition polymer structures, chlorofluorocarbons and ozone layer depletion, cracking of hydrocarbons, and chemical differentiation between alcohols and carboxylic acids
