CHEM 1124, General Chemistry II, lectures<\/h3>\n

Syllabus and Course Schedule<\/h4>\n

Course description and objectives:\u00a0 The primary objective of this course is to develop your understanding of the empirical and theoretical foundations of the chemical sciences. \u00a0Topics include the foundations of thermodynamics and\u00a0energetics\u00a0of chemical processes; principles of chemical equilibrium; acid-base and other solution\u00a0equilibria; rates of chemical reactions and reaction mechanisms; electron transfer reactions and electrochemistry; the transition metals and the main group elements; nuclear chemistry and radiochemistry, macromolecules and polymers.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites:\u00a0CHEM1123.<\/p>\n

Required Texts:\u00a0Chemistry – Third Edition, J. Olmsted III & and G.M. Williams, John Wiley, 2002, ISBN-0-471-39071-2 (with Technology Integrator CD).<\/p>\n

Chemical Principles in the Laboratory, Seventh Edition, E.J.\u00a0Slowinski, W.C.\u00a0Wolsey, & W.L. Masterson, Saunders, 2001.<\/p>\n

Semester schedule:\u00a0A day by day schedule of all course activities including exams, labs, and lectures is available. Please refer to this schedule on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Required Tools:
\nCalculators:<\/em>\u00a0 You must have a scientific calculator for this course. The calculator must be able to do the following: scientific notation (EXP or EE).\u00a0logarithms\u00a0(log and\u00a0ln), inverse functions (INV or 10x or\u00a0yx), square roots. You are responsible for having your own calculator available for use during quizzes and exams.<\/p>\n

Grading:
\nQuizzes:<\/em>\u00a0There will be a number of unannounced quizzes given during lecture periods throughout the semester. The subject of each quiz will generally be a class topic discussed since the last quiz.<\/p>\n

Mid-term and Final Exams:<\/em>\u00a0There will be one mid-term and\u00a0a final exams.<\/p>\n

Final (comprehensive) exam will be based on the material covered in Chapters 11-21 of the text.<\/p>\n

The final grade<\/em>\u00a0will reflect the following distribution of course contributions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Total (max)<\/td>\n<\/td>\n400<\/td>\n100%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The final letter grades<\/em>\u00a0will be calculated as follows:<\/p>\n

A\u226595; A->90%; B+\u226585%; B\u226582%; B->80%; C+\u226575%; C\u226570%; D\u226560%; F<60%)<\/p>\n
