Th 3:45-5:50 CFS 92026 (8192) DESCRIPTION: A continuation of Chemistry 101. Topics covered include a detailed study of chemical equilibrium as applied to analytical chemistry including solubility, complex ion, and redox equilibria, pH, buffers, weak acids, weak bases, monoprotic and polyprotic systems; thermodynamics; electrochemistry; the solid state; the relationship between structure and properties; kinetics; coordination chemistry and ligand field theory; visible spectroscopy; and the chemistry of selected metals and nonmetals. The laboratory work continues to develop skills in observation, the use of chemical glassware and equipment, making deductions from observations, analyzing results and communicating them in a written laboratory report.

PREREQUISITES: Chemistry 101. It is strongly recommended that you take English 28 before you attempt this class in order for you to have the writing skills necessary for this class.

CHEMISTRY 102: General Chemistry II Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) 1) Explain and design solutions to quantitative and qualitative problems by applying the concepts of kinetics, thermodynamics and dynamic equilibrium. 2) Implement written protocols to carry out basic chemical laboratory procedures independently, efficiently, and safely and interpret the resulting data. ATTENDANCE: The guidelines in the course catalog apply to this class: Any student who has unexcused absences equaling one week’s worth of class time prior to census date will be excluded. It is your responsibility to drop this class if necessary. Three lateness’s will count as an absence. Please contact the instructor if you know you are going to miss several days of class. Please read the attendance regulations printed in the Schedule of Classes.

“Class attendance appears to be a better predictor of college grades than any other know predictor of college grades – including SAT scores, HSGPA, study skills, and the amount of time studying. Indeed the relationship is so strong as to suggest that dramatic improvement in average grades (and failure rates) could be achieved by efforts to increase class attendance rates among college students.” From Crede, Roch, & Kieszynka (2010) in the Review of Educational Research.

Here you will be able to view and discuss relevant videos and news stories, form study groups, ask questions, and communicate however you see fit (just keep it clean and respectful!). Note: only members of the class will have access to the group, and being a member of the group does not mean you have to become “friends” with the group members. The


group starts as an “open” group so it is easy to find and join. Once everyone is in the group, I will “close” the group for privacy.

LEARNING ENVIRONMENT: Our learning experience in this class will involve a community. The more support and courtesy you give this community the better you and your fellow students will perform. Please arrive on time and prepared, do not annoy or distract others during lectures, workshops, and lab. Refrain from talking to classmates while the instructor is speaking, turn off all cell phones, etc. before class, and obey all safety rules in the laboratory. Please read and follow the Conduct Code for Students in your schedule of classes.

WORKSHOPS: Workshops meet two hours each week. You are required to attend the workshop in which you are enrolled. You are graded on participation and effort. The workshops will focus on group work and improving problem solving skills. We will frequently use Mastering Chemistry during workshop time. Please bring a laptop computer if you have one you like to bring to school. We have a class set of laptop computers for students who prefer to use a Pierce Computer. Please complete assigned reading and homework from the text before you attend each workshop. LABORATORY:

• You are required to attend the lab section in which you are enrolled. • You may be dropped from the course if you have two consecutive unexcused

absences. • There are no makeup labs. • If you miss a lab period, you will earn zero points for all components of the

entire experiment for that day. • You must come to lab on time. • All experiments will be performed individually unless otherwise noted. • When working with a laboratory partner, each student must record his or her

own data in their lab notebook and turn in an individual Post-lab Report written in your own words.

• Turning in post-lab reports containing the same wording is considered cheating.

You must pass the laboratory section in order to pass the course.

Pre-lab Assignments: Prelabs are due at the beginning of the lab period. You may not perform the experiment if you have not completed your pre-lab assignment:

1. Title –This can be found in your lab manual 2. Purpose – state what the experiment is and how it will be accomplished 3. Safety – include safety guidelines for the chemicals used in the experiment 4. Procedural notes – written by hand in ink in your lab notebook. Briefly

summarize the experimental procedures (do not copy from your lab manual) on the left hand side of the page. The right hand side should be left blank to record experimental data in lab.

5. Completed pre-lab questions, when applicable.


In-class Laboratory Work: You are graded on your preparation, safety, and technique in the laboratory. You are required to take notes of both qualitative (mass, volume, etc) and quantitative (color, physical state, etc) data in ink in your laboratory notebook throughout the course of the experiment. At the end of each lab period, I will initial your data pages. You are responsible for obtaining my signature. Post-lab Reports: Lab reports must be typed (size 12 font, 1.5 line spacing) and data graphed with Microsoft Excel. Show all calculations and report final answers with the correct significant figures and units. All laboratory post-lab reports will be turn in online through Canvas. These reports are automatically checked for originality. All calculations will be hand-written and turned in during lab. Grading: In addition to the above criteria, lab reports are also graded on the accuracy in your technique. Some experiments will be performed in pairs. In these cases, the wording on your lab report MUST be different than your partner’s; otherwise it is considered to be cheating. You cannot share pages, or photocopy each other’s data. Each of you must produce an original report, with the data handwritten in your handwriting. Sharing/modifying data is also considered cheating. Lab Reports are due at the beginning of the following lab. Any lab reports handed in after this deadline are considered late. Late lab reports will be penalized as follows: reports received 15 minutes late on due date will be marked down 1 point; lab reports received at next class meeting will be marked down another point. Lab reports received after that will be marked down another point each day the report is late. You WILL NOT pass this class if you do not pass the laboratory section of the course. Post-lab Reports must include the following sections. Please clearly label each section.

Chemistry 102 Lab Report Format 1. Title Page (use title from your lab notebook) 2. Purpose (What is the objective of this experiment? How (What

technique) will you accomplish this objective?) 3. Procedure (one short (1/2 page) paragraph summarizing the procedure

from your prelab. You do NOT need specific quantities.) 4. Data / Observations (Organize your data into data tables using word.

Also answer post-lab report questions here) 5. Conclusions (what does your data mean? Make references to, and

thoroughly discuss the significance of your numerical values. What are some sources of error?)

6. Appendix (graphs - when applicable, and detailed hand-written calculations)

7. Attach the top copy of your data pages from lab (including my signature).

GRADING POLICY:

Final grade = (.40)(Exam %) + (.05)(Homework + Workshop %) + (.20)(Lab %) + (.35)(Final Exam %) GRADING SCALE: A = 90% - 100% B = 80% - 89% C = 70% - 79% D = 60% - 69% F = 0% - 59% ACADEMIC DISHONESTY and CONDUCT: Please be honest and respectful, it’s expected by your fellow students and me. Cheating in any form on an assignment will, at a minimum, result in a zero grade on that assignment and filing of an Academic Dishonesty Report Form describing the incident with the Vice President of Student Affairs. Prior or future cheating incidents anywhere in the College could result in expulsion. Cheating includes: the copying or exchanging of information during exams or quizzes, including letting someone copy your material; using banned materials/information/devices during exams or quizzes; and plagiarism (copying someone else's work, lab data or writing and turning it in as your own). Exact reproduction of written materials from other students on any lab report will result in all parties receiving a zero. Please read more about Student Conduct and Academic Integrity starting on P. 33 of the 2014-16 Pierce General Catalog at the bottom of http://www.piercecollege.edu/schedules/catalog.asp.

Religious Holidays: There are a variety of religious holidays occurring during any given semester. While many of these are neither Federal or State sanctioned holidays, they are days of religious observance that may impact some students’ attendance. If you think that you will miss a lecture, lab, assignment due date, or exam because you will be practicing your religion on a particular day, please notify me in advance. Official notification will take the form of a note or email, which specifies the anticipated date(s) of your absence. I will work with you to allow you to make up any missed assignments.

GUIDELINES TO SUCCESS IN CHEMISTRY 102:

• Attend all lectures, workshops, and labs.

• Ask questions: during lecture, after lecture, in workshop, in lab, in office hours,

on facebook.

• Turn in lab assignments on time. Start lab reports early so you can get help if

necessary.

• Read the material from text before class! Take notes while reading. Write down

important definitions, equations, concepts, etc.

• Re-read the text after lecture, and work the example problems as you read.

• Do all of your homework! You need to work lots of problems in addition to

reading the book and attending lecture and lab to succeed in this class. You need

to be able to solve chemistry problems on your own. Reading over the solutions

manual or watching someone else solve the problem will not prepare you for an

exam. Reference the solutions manual if you get stuck on a problem, but re-do

the problem at a later time and make sure you can solve it on your own on a

blank piece of paper without referencing any other material.

• Work additional homework problems to the ones assigned. Keep your homework

in a separate homework notebook. Make notes of questions you have and bring

them to office hours or post on facebook. This notebook will be a beneficial study

guide when preparing for exams. I frequently put homework questions on exams.

• Do not fall behind on the material. Keep up with the reading and homework

problems.

• Re-read all of your lecture notes daily. Make notes of questions and ask them on

facebook or bring them to office hours.

• Save your exams and use them to study for the final exam. Go over your exam

the same week that it is returned to you. Re-do any questions that you lost

points on. Refer to the exam keys posted on Canvas. Print out blank exams and

take them again. Make sure you fully understand all exam material! Bring any

questions to office hours or ask them on facebook.

• Please get extra help in office hours and in the tutoring center!
