• Enzyme (Michaelis Menten) and polymer kinetics
• Molecularity
Topics covered in year 12 will include:
• Advanced organic chemistry including a detailed study of functional groups and their reactivity
• Mechanisms (E1 and E2) for selected organic reactions including the use of arrows to indicate electron movement
• Advanced instrumental methods including NMR, MS, GC and electromagnetic spectroscopy
• Electrosynthesis
• Relationship between the mass of material that is deposited when different currents are applied
This is Part B of a 2 part course.
The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students.
