Year 12 Chemistry TAS Curriculum We Cover
The Year 12 Chemistry TAS curriculum, also known as Chemistry Level 4 curriculum enables students to understand science, scientific literacy and scientific methods involved in the world around them. Year 12 Chemistry syllabus includes 4 major chemistry topics:
- Fundamental principles and theories of electrochemistry
- Principles of thermochemistry, kinetics and equilibrium
- Properties and reactions of organic and inorganic matter
- Application of logical processes to solve quantitative chemical problems.
These chemistry topics are related to 4 different criteria that students study in Year 12 Chemistry as given below:
Criterion 5 — Fundamental principles and theories of electrochemistry
Criterion 6 — Principles of thermochemistry, kinetics and equilibrium
Criterion 7 — Properties and reactions of organic and inorganic matter
Criterion 8 — Application of logical processes to solve quantitative chemical problems
Criterion 5, Fundamental principles and theories of electrochemistry include topics like:
- Redox reactions

- Chemical equilibrium — physical and chemical changes, reversible chemical changes, the effect of change of temperature on chemical reactions, effects of changing the conditions of a system at equilibrium, Le Chatelier’s principle, the relationship between acids and bases in equilibrium systems, etc.
Criterion 7, Properties and reactions of organic and inorganic matter include topics like:
- Gases — properties, kinetic theory of matter and properties of gases
- Properties and Structures of Organic Materials — functional group, structural formulae of organic molecules, properties and reactions of alkyl halides, the structure of benzene, properties and reactions of alcohols, organic molecules including polymers, properties and reactions of aldehydes and ketones, properties and reactions of carboxylic acids, properties and reactions of esters, properties and reactions of simple amines and amides, mass spectroscopy etc.
- The periodic table — evidence for shells of electrons, Bohr model of the atom, electron configurations, valence theory, trends in the Periodic Table, etc.
Criterion 8, Application of logical processes to solve quantitative chemical problems includes topics like:
- principles of chemical reactions and reacting quantities

- gravimetric analysis
- mass-volume calculations
- limiting reagents
- volumetric analysis methods
- chemical synthesis
- gases, etc.
Overcome Your Learning Challenges With Year 12 Chemistry Tutors
Year 12 Chemistry concepts are often challenging for students because they include a lot of information that is difficult to grasp. Students often cannot understand the real-life aspects of many concepts which means that they have to learn the information given in the books as it is. This lack of practical realisation of chemistry concepts is a challenge for students. Not only this, many terms in Year 12 Chemistry pose a challenge for the students. At CrunchGrade, our tutors help students master every chemistry concept with the proper realisation of concepts. We provide separate doubt-clearing sessions where students can ask their queries without any hesitation and master difficult concepts easily.
What Our Year 12 Chemistry Tutors Help You Achieve?
With CrunchGrade’s Year 12 Chemistry TAS online tutoring, students will be able to achieve the following:
- Explain chemical phenomena and solve problems encountered in the real world
- Understand the concepts, models and theories to describe, explain and make predictions about the current systems in chemistry
- Understand the factors that affect chemical systems
- Identify principles of chemistry concepts, models and theories, related to electrochemistry, thermochemistry, kinetics and equilibrium, and organic and inorganic matter
- Analyse quantitative and qualitative data and their interpretation
- Solve problems related to chemistry and provide informed, responsible and ethical conclusions and more.
Important Topics in Year 12 Chemistry TAS Syllabus
The Year 12 Chemistry TAS syllabus includes many important topics like Le Chatelier’s principle, equilibrium, the heat capacity of water, thermochemical equations, redox reactions and galvanic cells. Topics from the area of study ‘How can the yield of a chemical product be optimised?’, like Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curves, and comparison of exothermic and endothermic reactions are also important. Criterion 8 also includes some crucial topics of Chemistry like the nomenclature of organic compounds, mass spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and concentrations of organic chemicals in mixtures are also important.
Challenges in Teaching Chemistry to Year 12 Students
Students must have a thorough knowledge of chemical reactions, redox reactions, equilibrium, types of chemical reactions, balancing chemical reactions, etc. If students do not have a basic understanding of these concepts, understanding the Year 12 Chemistry textbook might be difficult for them. When students have to study the properties and reactions of different substances like alcohols, polymers, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, simple amines and amides etc. they need to pay special attention. This is why CrunchGrade online chemistry tutors provide personalised online learning programs that address the challenges of each student.
