Corpus Christi Catholic Secondary School

Grade 12 University Chemistry (SCH 4U)

This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of
organic chemistry, the structure and properties of matter, energy changes and rates of reaction,
equilibrium in chemical systems, and electrochemistry. Students will further develop their
problem-solving and investigation skills as they investigate chemical processes, and will refine
their ability to communicate scientific information. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of
chemistry in everyday life and on evaluating the impact of chemical technology on the
environment.
