On this page you will find blog posts about HSC Chemistry, written by Master Coaching Hurstville.
HSC Chemistry is a difficult subject, with lots of complex ideas to cover in a relatively short space of time. The HSC exam itself is challenging, even for bright students.
To help you learn about this complex subject we have put together a series of blog posts which we are continuously updating. We also offer one to one tutoring, either in Hurstville Sydney or online for students who are ready to take their studies to the next level.
Year 12 Chemistry begins with the concepts of open systems and closed systems. This will set us up to better understand static and dynamic equilibrium as well as non equilibrium systems. In this blog post, we'll delve into open and…
In year 11 Chemistry and the junior years of science you were likely introduced to chemical reactions with the assumption that they would only be happening in one direction. That is that the reactants would become products. Now as we…
In chemistry an equilibrium refers to a state of balance. There are two main types of equilibrium: static and dynamic equilibrium. In this blog post, we will explore these equilibrium states, their differences, and their relevance. What is Static Equilibrium? Static…
Stoichiometry is a section of chemistry that refers to the quantitative relationships between the amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. In Year 11 Chemistry students are introduced to Quantitative Chemistry. This builds a foundation of knowledge from…
What is the Mole Concept? The mole concept is a way to measure the amount of a substance on a macroscopic scale. It allows chemists to bridge the gap between the atomic and macroscopic worlds by providing a common unit…
Balancing chemical equations is an important skill to master for HSC Chemistry. In Year 11 Chemistry students learn also about the mole concept, stoichiometry and balancing chemical equations. This builds a foundation of knowledge from year 10 science such as: Understanding…
Chemical reactions happen all around us. When a chemical reaction occurs the atoms are rearranged to form new substances. Year 10 science provides some foundational chemistry knowledge to help students develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. For…
Year 10 science provides some foundational chemistry knowledge such as understanding the difference between atoms, molecules and compounds, some different types of chemical reactions, and writing chemical equations. This foundational knowledge can be helpful to understand and can set you…
Year 10 science provides some foundational chemistry knowledge to help students better understand the world around them. This includes understanding the difference between atoms, molecules, and compounds. For students who want to excel in their studies, or perhaps take Chemistry…
Are you staring at a blank sheet of paper and wondering how to write HSC notes for Chemistry? To prepare for the HSC Chemistry exam, having helpful notes can significantly affect your ability to understand and remember the concepts introduced…
The HSC Chemistry syllabus can be a daunting document the first time you open it up. There is a lot of information in the document, and you only have a limited amount of time to absorb all the concepts before…
Yes, Year 11 chemistry is a vital part of the HSC. While the course does not directly affect your ATAR mark, without the knowledge that you gain from the Year 11 syllabus, you may struggle with concepts introduced in Year…
This list of HSC Chemistry past papers will give you a jumping-off point for your study. Doing past papers is an excellent way to find gaps in your knowledge and become familiar with the style of questions asked in the…
