AP Chemistry/Lab Course Code 447 - Course Units Overview

Sep 20, 2026

Uploaded by Marry

AP Chemistry/Lab Course Code 447 and 464 is designed for grades 11–12 with 5 credits and includes clear prerequisites, recommended textbook materials, and required supplies (notebook, writing tools, and a scientific calculator). The course emphasizes advanced mathematical and conceptual work comparable to first-year college general chemistry, covering matter and moles, aqueous solution stoichiometry, reaction patterns, thermodynamics and calorimetry, atomic theory and structure, bonding and intermolecular forces, gas laws and kinetic theory, and solutions with colligative properties. Students complete multiple labs, quizzes, unit tests, and are expected to take the AP Chemistry Exam in May.

AP Chemistry/Lab Course Code: 447 and 464 CREDITS: 5 GRADE: 11 & 12 Recommendation: Chemistry 441 (B or better; or department head recommendation) BASIC TEXT: Chemistry The Central Science 10th Edition 2006 Brown, Lemay, Bursten REQUIRED MATERIALS: notebook, pen/pencils, and scientific calculator COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Advanced Placement Chemistry course is designed tobe the equivalent of the General Chemistry course taken during the first year of college. This course requires students to work on a mathematical and conceptual level far above that of regular Chemistry 1. Topics such as structure of matter, kinetic molecular theory, chemical equilibrium, and kinetics will be covered in depth. Recommended laboratory experiments will be performed. Enrolled students are expected to take the AP Chemistry Exam in May.
