Spring 2019
Instructor: Professor

Course Goals:
·
Solve quantitative problems and check
answers to make sure that they are physically reasonable as applied to areas such
as unit conversions, stoichiometry, and gas laws.
·
Apply IUPAC naming rules to acids, salts
and molecular compounds.
·
Clearly explain qualitative chemical
concepts and trends.
·
Perform laboratory experiments using
appropriate technique and safety procedures.
·
Describe, model and analyze subatomic
behavior to explain macroscopic properties as applied to such areas as chemical
bonding, gas laws, atomic theory, acids, bases, and oxidation-reduction.
·
Write and predict the products of
chemical reactions along with the classify of the different types of chemical reactions.
Grading:
Lab
Exams (three exams)......................................................................................................................... 45%
Lab
work (including all reports and exercises)......................................................................................................................... 55%
Lab Exams:
Lab
Exams will be given throughout the semester based on all lab material covered
since the last exam and will cover the prelab material, experimental procedures,
observations, interpretation and calculations. Additionally, there may be
occasional mini-quizzes that will be announced.
Attendance
and Etiquette:
·
Regular attendance and
promptness are mandatory. Important procedural and safety information is
presented at the beginning of lab; any tardiness poses a risk to yourself and
others. 10% is deducted from each report not turned in immediately at the
start of lab. Additionally, late lab reports are subject to a 25% per day
past the deadline.
·
No excuses for leaving lab
are accepted. Please, schedule doctor / dentist / auto mechanic / counseling / etc.
appointments outside of lab time. No credit is given for missed labs and a
report may not be submitted if the experiment was not performed.
·
An “F” grade will earn if a
student misses or fails to complete three or more labs.
Be aware that failure to pass the lab portion will result you earning a failing
grade for the entire course.
·
Points will be deducted for disruptive
and rude behavior in class (talking during lecturing, using cell phones, late
arrivals and early departures) or for safety violations such as goggle
reminders or open-toed shoes. You are
expected to act as adults and if you can not do so may result in you being
asked to leave the class and you will have earned a zero for the day’s
assignment.
·
I advise against taking this class if
you are pregnant. In case you decide to take the class, please bring a note
from your physician indicating their approval for you to take the course (the
list of chemicals is available at request).
Lab Safety:
·
Each student will be provided with a copy of the Chemistry Department
Laboratory Safety Rules the first day laboratory meets. You are to complete the bottom portion of the
sheet and provide the bottom portion to the instructor.
By the second lab meeting you must have a Chemistry 110 Lab
Manual (GCC bookstore), chemistry laboratory goggles, and appropriate attire in
order to participate.
