Matthew Rex Office: CH 208 Office Hours: M, T, R 10:00-11:00 a.m. W 1:00-3:00 p.m. Textbook: Chemistry A Molecular Approach 2nd edition, Tro Coarse Goal: To provide a basic understanding of the chemical theory of kinetics, chemical equilibria, acid-base chemistry, electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry. Topics Covered: Topics include, but are not restricted to: intermolecular forces, properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, acids and bases, buffer solutions, precipitation reactions, thermodynamics (entropy and free energy), electron transfer reactions, and nuclear chemistry. Grading: Grades will be based on quizzes, four exams given throughout the class and a final exam on the last day of class. Grades will be assigned based on the following percentages: 90% - 100% = A, 80% - 89% = B, 70% - 79% = C, 60% - 69% = D, < 60% = F. Exams will be 50 minutes each (class time) and will be worth 100 points. Exams will be computer-graded multiple choice format. You will NEED to bring a scantron for each exam. NO GRAPHING CALCULATORS ARE ALLOWED!!! NO USE OF ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICES (iPods, cell phones, MP3 players, computers, etc.) DURING EXAMS. Any use of such device will be considered cheating and result in a grade of 0 for that exam. A total of 6 discussion section quizzes will be given worth 20 points each. The lowest quiz score will be dropped. The final exam is on the last Thursday of class August 1st. It will be the normal class time of 50 minutes and will focus on chapters 18 and 19 with some portion being cumulative. The final exam will count as one exam and will also replace your lowest exam score.
