Chemistry study guides
Deep Chemistry guides for Victorian Certificate of Education students, each with a paired practice quiz. Aligned to VCAA.
14 harder, exam-style VCE Chemistry Units 3 and 4 multiple-choice questions: calorimetry, galvanic and electrolytic cells, equilibrium, rates, isomers, reaction pathways, NMR, titration, HPLC and food chemistry. Each is tagged with its question type and every distractor's error explained. Original practice questions, not from any VCAA exam.
A complete walkthrough of VCE Chemistry energetics calculations. Enthalpy change calculation methods (calorimetry , enthalpy of formation, Hess's law), worked examples, and the moves that secure top marks in Section B.
A complete guide to VCE Chemistry organic synthesis pathways. The reaction toolkit, pathway diagrams, retrosynthesis, and worked syntheses for the Unit 3-4 organic content.
Deep-dive on VCE Chemistry Unit 3 (How can design and innovation help to optimise chemical processes?). Energy sources, fuels, electrochemistry (galvanic and electrolytic), rate, equilibrium, and the chemical industry, aligned to the current VCAA Study Design (Units 3 and 4 from 2024).
A complete guide to VCE Chemistry Unit 3+4 practice questions and exam preparation. Exam structure, question types, marking criteria, sample questions by Area of Study, and the practice routine that secures top marks.
Deep-dive on VCE Chemistry Unit 4 (How are carbon-based compounds designed for purpose?). Organic families, reactions and synthesis, analytical techniques (mass spectrometry, IR, NMR, HPLC), food biomolecules, medicines and the student-designed investigation.
