Advanced Placement Chemistry Syllabus 2020 – 2021Mater Academy Charter High SchoolInstructor: Mr. Christopher SarmientoEmail: csarmiento@Zoom ID: 988 672 8060Textbook: Raymond Chang and Ken Goldsby. Chemistry (AP Edition), 12th ed., 2015 ISBN: 978-0-07-672770-4Course DescriptionsAdvanced Placement (AP) Chemistry is a course designed to be the equivalent of a first-year university general chemistry course. Students are held at high expectations and should gain a profound understanding of fundamentals and concepts regarding general chemistry. Such course should contribute to students’ abilities to think critically, analyze and interpret scientific data, and reason logically about abstract concepts. All students enrolled in AP Chemistry are expected to take the AP exam at the end of the school year (test date is TBA).Academic DishonestyOtherwise known as cheating, academic dishonesty undermines the cheater, school’s philosophy and class morale. All universities severely punish students for academic dishonesty, even for first-time offenders. This may result in life-altering consequences and can disqualify one’s ability to continue higher education. Therefore, to appreciate the importance contained in such ethical code, the instructor of this course will use the full extent of possible consequences and advocate for one’s removal from the course if caught cheating.Class MaterialsA 5-subject notebook, pencils, pens, highlighters, scientific calculator (TI-30x), and loose-leaf sheets of paper are highly recommended for this course.GradingDue to the numerous ramifications COVID-19 has imparted, the grading scale is subject to change at any point in time during the school year. The temporary weight distribution is as follows:Tests/Projects30%Quizzes/ Formative Assessments35%Classwork/Homework35%Grading scale:100-90%89-80%79-70%69-60%59%-belowABCDFAttendance and Course WorkAttendance is crucial to ensure your success in this course as every lecture will be information dense. Late work will not be accepted under any circumstance other than emergencies; there are various ways to submit an assignment to avoid being considered late. Emergencies (e.g. medical and/or unexpected loss) must be backed with proper documentation. Make-up tests are only allowed before the original test date.Classwork, homework, quizzes and tests will be assigned through the following virtual programs: AP Classroom via College Board, Khan Academy, USA Test Prep, and independently created assignments. Your success in this course is highly dependent on your performance on assignments. There will be no extra-credit opportunities. However, the instructor reserves the right to amend this rule. CommunicationOffice hours will be held Monday through Friday, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm, or by appointment. Please use the Remind application or email to communicate with me. You can expect a prompt response between Monday through Friday, from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm (excluding holidays). It is up to my discretion to answer emails outside of this time frame.Classroom Rules Respect yourself, your peers, your teacher, and your surroundingsRaise your hand and wait for permission to speakBe seated and ready to work when class startsThe teacher dismisses students, not the bellElectronic devices should be put away in a designated location, unless I require it. Come prepared to class with all the required materialsNo eating nor drinking in class (a capped water bottle is accepted)Course OutlineUNIT 1: Atomic Structure and Properties(Chapters 3, 6 & 7)Moles and Molar MassMass Spectroscopy of ElementsElemental Composition of Pure SubstancesComposition of MixturesAtomic Structure and Electron ConfigurationPhotoelectron SpectroscopyPeriodic TrendsValence Electrons and Ionic CompoundsUNIT 2: Molecular and Ionic Compounds Structure and Properties(Chapters 8, 9 & 12)2.1 Types of Chemical Bonds2.2 Intramolecular Force and Potential Energy2.3 Structure of Ionic Solids2.4 Structure of Metals and Alloys2.5 Lewis Diagrams2.6 Resonance and Formal Charge2.7 VSEPR and Bond HybridizationUNIT 3: Intermolecular Forces and Properties(Chapters 10, 11, 12 & 13)3.1 Intermolecular Forces3.2 Properties of Solids3.3 Solids, Liquids and Gases3.4 Ideal Gas Law3.5 Kinetic Molecular Theory3.6 Deviation from Ideal Gas Law3.7 Solutions and Mixtures3.8 Representation of Solutions3.9 Separations of Solutions and Mixtures Chromatography3.10 Solubility3.11 Spectroscopy and the Electromagnetic Spectrum3.12 Photoelectric Effect3.13 Beer-Lambert LawUNIT 4: Chemical Reactions(Chapters 3, 4 & 20)4.1 Introduction to Reactions4.2 Net Ionic Equations4.3 Representations of Reactions4.4 Physical and Chemical Changes4.5 Stoichiometry4.6 Introduction to Titration4.7 Types of Chemical Reactions4.8 Introduction to Acid-Base Reactions4.9 Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) ReactionsUNIT 5: Kinetics(Chapter 14)5.1 Reaction Rates5.2 Introduction to Rate Law5.3 Concentration Changes Over Time5.4 Elementary Reactions5.5 Collision Model5.6 Reaction Energy Profile5.7 Introduction to Reaction Mechanisms5.8 Reaction Mechanism and Rate Law5.9 Steady-State Approximation5.10 Multistep Reaction Energy Profile5.11 CatalysisUNIT 6: Thermodynamics(Chapter 5)6.1 Endothermic and Exothermic Processes6.2 Energy Diagrams6.3 Heat Transfer and Thermal Equilibrium6.4 Heat Capacity and Calorimetry6.5 Energy of Phase Changes6.6 Introduction to Enthalpy of Reaction6.7 Bond Enthalpies6.8 Enthalpy of Formation6.9 Hess?s LawUNIT 7: Equilibrium(Chapter 15)7.1 Introduction to Equilibrium7.2 Direction of Reversible Reactions7.3 Reaction Quotient and Equilibrium Constant7.4 Calculating the Equilibrium Constant7.5 Magnitude of the Equilibrium Constant7.6 Properties of the Equilibrium Constant7.7 Calculating Equilibrium Concentrations7.8 Representations of Equilibrium7.9 Introduction to Le Ch?telier?s Principle7.10 Reaction Quotient and Le Ch?telier?s PrincipleUNIT 8: Acids and Bases(Chapters 16 & 17)8.1 Introduction to Acids and Bases8.2 pH and pOH of Strong Acids and Bases8.3 Weak Acid and Base Equilibria8.4 Acid-Base Reactions and Buffers8.5 Acid-Base Titrations8.6 Molecular Structure of Acids and Bases8.7 pH and pKa8.8 Properties of buffers8.9 Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation8.10 Buffer CapacityUNIT 9: Applications of Thermodynamics(Chapter 19)9.1 Introduction to Entropy9.2 Absolute Entropy and Entropy Change9.3 Gibbs Free Energy and Thermodynamic Favorability9.4 Thermodynamic and Kinetic Control9.5 Free Energy and Equilibrium9.6 Coupled Reactions9.7 Galvanic (Voltaic) and Electrolytic Cells9.8 Cell Potential and Free Energy9.9 Cell Potential Under Nonstandard Conditions9.10 Electrolysis and Faraday?s Law2020– 2021 Chemistry SyllabusPlease sign and return ONLY this page to Mr. SarmientoIn order to complete the Syllabus assignment, PARENTS please send me an e-mail to csarmiento@In the SUBJECT of the e-mail please type in order:PERIOD NUMBER, STUDENT’S FIRST AND LAST NAME THIS WILL BE GRADED AS YOUR FIRST HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT!
