PAPER 1
A: PRIOR KNOWLEDGE FROM GRADES 10 AND 11
All skills and application of knowledge learnt in Grades 10 and 11 are applicable to
assessment in Grade 12. In addition to content from Grades 10 and 11 included under
examinable content for Grade 12, skills and knowledge from Grades 10 and 11 that may be
assessed in Grade 12 include the following:
• The use of equations of motion in solving problems dealing with momentum, vertical
projectile motion, work, energy and power
• Sound waves and properties of sound
• Electromagnetism
NOTE:
Although there will be no direct questions about these aspects, applications thereof can be
assessed.
B: ACCEPTED OR NOT ACCEPTED FROM 2024 ONWARD:

1. FREE-BODY AND FORCE DIAGRAMS
As of 2024 the use of components to represent a force on a free body or force diagram will
NOT BE ACCEPTED.
2. DEFINITIONS
Definition of free fall and projectile: as from 2024 gravity and weight will not be accepted as
part of the definitions, only gravitational force is accepted.
(i) PROJECTILE:
ACCEPTED: an object which has been given an initial velocity and then it moves
under the influence of the gravitational force only.
NOT ACCEPTED: an object which has been given an initial velocity and then it
moves under the influence of gravity only.
NOT ACCEPTED: an object which has been given an initial velocity and then it
moves under the influence of weight only.
(ii) FREE FALL:
ACCEPTED: motion during which the only force acting on an object is the
gravitational force.
NOT ACCEPTED: motion during which the only force acting on an object is the
gravity.
NOT ACCEPTED: motion during which the only force acting on an object is the
weight.

PAPER 2:
A: PRIOR KNOWLEDGE FROM GRADES 10 AND 11
Representing Chemical Change
Balanced chemical equations
• Write and balance chemical equations.
• Interpret balanced reaction equations in terms of:
o Conservation of atoms
o Conservation of mass (use relative atomic masses)
Quantitative Aspects of Chemical Change
Molar volume of gases
• 1 mole of any gas occupies 22,4 dm3 at 0 °C (273 K) and 1 atmosphere (101,3 kPa).
Volume relationships in gaseous reactions
• Interpret balanced equations in terms of volume relationships for gases, i.e. under the same
conditions of temperature and pressure, equal number of moles of all gases occupy the same
volume.
Concentration of solutions
• Calculate the molar concentration of a solution.
More complex stoichiometric calculations
• Determine the empirical formula and molecular formula of compounds.
• Determine the percentage yield of a chemical reaction.
• Determine percentage purity or percentage composition, e.g. the percentage CaCO3 in an impure
sample of seashells.
• Perform stoichiometric calculations based on balanced equations.
• Perform stoichiometric calculations based on balanced equations that may include limiting
reagents.
Intermolecular Forces
• Name and explain the different intermolecular forces (Van der Waal's forces):
(i) Dipole-dipole forces: forces between two polar molecules
(ii) Induced dipole forces or London forces: forces between non-polar molecules
(iii) Hydrogen bonding: forces between molecules in which hydrogen is covalently bonded to
nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine a special case of dipole-dipole forces
• Describe the difference between intermolecular forces and interatomic forces (intramolecular
forces) using a diagram of a group of small molecules; and in words. Example:
• State the relationship between intermolecular forces and molecular size. For non-polar molecules,
the strength of induced dipole forces increases with molecular size.
• Explain the effect of intermolecular forces on boiling point, melting point and vapour pressure.
B: ACCEPTED OR NOT ACCEPTED FROM 2024 ONWARD
• DEFINITIONS
Definitions of weak acid, weak base, strong acid, strong base: as from 2024 only the
complete definitions as per exam guidelines will be accepted.
ACCEPTED: A weak acid ionises incompletely in water to form a low concentration of
H3O+ ions.
NOT ACCEPTED: A weak acid ionises incompletely in water.
ACCEPTED: A strong acid ionises completely in water to form a high concentration of
H3O+ ions.
NOT ACCEPTED: A strong acid ionises completely in water.
ACCEPTED: A weak base dissociates/ionises incompletely in water to form a low
concentration of OH- ions.
NOT ACCEPTED: A weak base dissociates/ionises incompletely in water.
ACCEPTED: A strong base dissociates/ionises completely in water to form a high
concentration of OH- ions.
NOT ACCEPTED: A strong base dissociates/ionises completely in water.
