Including calculating the masses or volumes of substances produced in chemical reactions. A Level Chemistry – Year 2 The topics covered in year 2 are more demanding and build upon areas covered in year 1. Topics include: • Reaction kinetics, which involves the equations governing the speeds of chemical reactions. • Factors affecting equilibria and how these are taken into account in the chemical industry. • Acids and bases. • The structures and reactions of some more complicated organic (carbon) compounds including aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, benzene and other aromatic compounds. • Electrical chemistry. • The chemistry of the transition metals, including their r
