Titrox - Chemistry
Courses Description
Head of Pathway: Ms L. Neveling.
By using titrations one can find purity and content of pharmaceutical products. In this course you will learn a titration technique that is extensively used in product development and quality control. Building on ions knowledge, you will explore basic functions of life (combustion, corrosion, rusting and respiration) by using the lens of redox reactions and balanced chemical equations. By combining two standards (chem 2.1 and 2.7) you will be able to find the acidity of any commercial product by using acid-base titration. If you love to get two in one duo and earn 7 credits from chemistry, then this should be your first preference.

The standards offered are correct at the time of writing. These are subject to change depending on student selections.
We endeavour to run all courses but are subject to minimise class sizes. Maximum class sizes apply. Once a course is full alternative selections are needed.
Course context or content may change by the start of the year.
Once a student makes their selections and confirms these, any changes must be accompanied by a letter of support from Whanau and are subject to available spaces in courses.
All Junior Bilingual students must select the literacy and numeracy modules in the language of their pathway each trimester and one other integrated language module (3 out of 4 of their modules must be bilingual).
All senior Bilingual students must take all modules available in the language of their pathway.
