Prerequisites: Chemistry I and consent of instructor. Completion of Advanced Mathis highly recommended. * Honors course. The AP Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistrycourse usually taken during the first college year. For some students, this courseenables them to undertake, as college freshman, second-year work in the chemistrysequence at their institution or to register in courses in other fields where generalchemistry is a prerequisite. For other students, the AP Chemistry course may fulfillthe laboratory science requirement and frees time for other courses. The APChemistry course is designed to be taken only after the successful completion ofChemistry I. Emphasis on topics such as the structure of matter, kinetic theory ofgases, chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetics, acid/base titration, and the basicconcepts of thermodynamics will be presented in considerable depth.
