SACE Chemistry in Adelaide: a student and parent guide

How SACE Stage 2 Chemistry is assessed, and what the investigations folio asks of you.

Get matched with a chemistry tutor
Chapter 01

From Stage 1 to Stage 2

Stage 1 is usually Year 11 and is school assessed. Stage 2 builds on it directly. Some university courses list chemistry as a prerequisite, so check SATAC early.

Chapter 02

How Stage 2 is assessed

School assessment is 70 per cent and the external exam 30 per cent, so Stage 2 is won through the year, task by task.

Investigations folio
30 per cent
Skills and applications tasks
40 per cent
External exam
30 per cent
Chapter 03

The investigations folio

Marks go to a clear question, a fair method, processed data and an honest evaluation. Plan each investigation before the lab lesson.

Chapter 04

The maths inside chemistry

Rearranging formulas, mole ratios, scientific notation and significant figures decide many marks in skills and applications tasks and the exam.

Curriculum guide

Chemistry in South Australian schools, year by year

What Adelaide students learn in chemistry at every year level, and how a chemistry tutor helps.

Get matched with a chemistry tutor

Years 9 and 10 science

South Australian schools teach Years 9 and 10 science from the Australian Curriculum. Chemistry covers atoms, the periodic table and reactions, the base for SACE Stage 1 Chemistry.

Year 9

  • Protons, neutrons and electrons
  • Isotopes
  • Word and symbol equations
  • Conservation of mass
  • Acids, bases and neutralisation

Year 10

  • Periodic table patterns
  • How atoms form compounds
  • Balancing equations
  • Types of reactions
  • What changes reaction rate
Worked example

Balance: C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

AnswerC3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O

How a tutor helps

Makes formulas and balancing automatic before Stage 1, so Stage 1 can focus on the mole.

Based on the Australian Curriculum: Science Version 9.0, Years 9 and 10 (chemical sciences).

Stage 1 Chemistry

Stage 1 Chemistry is usually taken in Year 11 and is assessed by the school. Its topics run from atoms and bonding through solutions to acids, bases and redox.

Semester 1

  • Materials and their atoms
  • Combinations of atoms
  • Molecules

Semester 2

  • Mixtures and solutions
  • Acid and bases
  • Redox reactions
Worked example

What is the mass of 2.00 mol of CaCO3? (M = 100.09 g mol−1)

Answer2.00 × 102 g

How a tutor helps

Secures the mole and solution calculations in Stage 1, because every Stage 2 topic uses them.

Based on the SACE Board, Stage 1 Chemistry subject outline.

Stage 2 Chemistry

Stage 2 has four topics. School assessment is 70 per cent: the investigations folio (30 per cent) and skills and applications tasks (40 per cent). The external exam is 30 per cent.

Topics 1 and 2

  • Global warming and climate change
  • Volumetric analysis
  • Chromatography and spectroscopy
  • Rates of reaction
  • Equilibrium and yield
  • Optimising production

Topics 3 and 4

  • Alcohols, aldehydes and ketones
  • Carboxylic acids and esters
  • Amines and amides
  • Proteins and carbohydrates
  • Energy
  • Water, soil and materials
Worked example

25.0 mL of 0.100 mol L−1 NaOH neutralises 20.0 mL of HCl. What is the HCl concentration?

Answer0.125 mol L−1

How a tutor helps

Plans each folio investigation with you, then practises skills and applications tasks and past exam questions.

Based on the SACE Board, Stage 2 Chemistry subject outline and assessment information.
