Foundations in Chemistry

What are the basic types of chemical reactions? How are the reactants used and products formed through chemical reactions in industrial, mining and/or agricultural processes and can they affect human health and/or the health of the environment?

We will discover the answers to these questions and more by exploring the following three outcomes:

• • FC1 Predict products of the five basic types of chemical reactions and evaluate the impact of these reactions on society and the environment

  • FC2 Construct an understanding of the mole as a unit for measuring

  • FC3 Use stoichiometry to determine the relative amounts of substances consumed and produced in chemical reactions
