This is an enriched two-semester lab-based course that incorporates more of the computational understanding associated with chemical knowledge.  The topic covered include all of those listed in Chemistry A, plus stoichiometry, gas laws, rate laws, equilibrium constants, thermochemistry, and molecular geometry.  Students should have a good understanding of Algebra to be able to solve problems using mathematical equations.  Students who would like the option to take AP Chemistry or Organic Chemistry should enroll in this course, rather than Chemistry A.  This course requires students to gain an understanding beyond the life science standards associated with Iowa Science Standards.  Schedule changes from this course to Chemistry A can be made with teacher recommendation, and must be done within the first two weeks of the semester.
