OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE: This course is intended for the student whose emphasis is science,
engineering, medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, physical therapy, veterinary science and art restoration. The
successful student will be able to demonstrate a proficiency in:
1.
Writing the name and formula for inorganic ionic and covalent compounds.
2.
Describing the electronic structure of atoms and ions using the wave-mechanical theory. Perform
simple calculations based on the wave-mechanical theory.
3.
Performing computations involving stoichiometry under aqueous and non-aqueous conditions including
the gaseous state and thermochemical situations.
4.
Using V.S.E.P.R., M.O. and V.B. theories to describe complex molecules and ions; and deriving
information regarding stability and properties.
5.
Performing basic laboratory operations involving: gravimetric analysis and synthesis, visible
spectroscopy, visible spectrophotometry, titration, boiling point and vapor density measurements,
calorimetry and using molecular modeling materials.
PREREQUISITE: MA 61 or permission of the Department Head and one year high school chemistry, CH19 or CH-29.
PROCEDURES FOR ACCOMPLISHING THESE OBJECTIVES:
Chemistry 33 consists of four one-hour and fifteen-minute lectures, two fifty-minute recitation and
two two-hour and fifty-minute lab per week.
The lecture periods will consist of formal lectures; recitation periods will be devoted to class discussion and
problem solving.
The laboratory period will begin with a short lecture on the current experiment. In the laboratory all work will
be INDIVIDUAL unless the instructor indicates otherwise. No exposed feet (NO bare feet, open-toed shoes,
or sandals) or bare midriffs will be allowed in the laboratory. CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT APPROVED
SAFETY GOGGLES MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES.
If a student is 10 minutes late to lab and therefore misses the pre-lab presentation given by the instructor
which includes safety precautions, the student will not be allowed to work in lab and this will result in a
grade of zero for that lab.

STUDENT REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLETION OF THE COURSE:
a.
You are expected to read the chapter assignments in the textbook and to complete any other
assignments, which your instructor may require you to perform.
b.
You will be required to complete satisfactorily all lecture exams as well as a one-hour and fifteenminute final exam. No grades will be dropped and no one will be exempted from the final.
c.
The laboratory grade will be based on the pre-lab assignments and lab reports and technique.
Laboratory reports are due the lab period following completion of the experiment. If you fail to submit a
lab report you will receive a failing grade for that lab activity. Pre-lab assignments cannot be turned in
late. Late lab reports will be penalized 5 points per school day. After being one week late, the report
will not be accepted.
d.
Grading Practices:
Your final grade will be determined as follows:
Lecture exams, homework, quizzes 60%
Final exam
15%
Sub Total
75%
Laboratory
25%
Total
100%
You must have passing grades in both lecture and laboratory to pass the course. You may withdraw
from the course up to mid-term and receive a "W". If you withdraw after mid-term, you will receive a
"W" if you are passing at the time of withdrawal and an "F" if you are failing.
e.
Rules Concerning Student Attendance:
The college expects all students to attend every class session for which they are registered. Students
are responsible for all that transpires in class whether or not they are in attendance. The College
defines excessive absence or lateness as more than the equivalent of one week of class meetings
during the semester. Excessive absence or lateness may lead to failure in a course or removal from
the class roster.
Examination Absence:
Your instructor will provide you in writing with her/his policies for handling absences from examination.
Laboratory Absence:
There are NO make-up sessions for absence from laboratory. Your instructor will provide you in
writing with her/his policies for handling absences from laboratory.

Chemistry 33 Course Outline Supplement:
Course Policy for Dr. Vishwas Joshi
Preparation: Homework is not optional. The assigned problems reflect the classroom material and an
answer sheet will be given out in recitation on the date suggested for completion of each assignment.
Homework assignments will be reviewed during recitation.
Quizzes: Nine (9) Quizzes will be given in recitation or take home on the dates listed on the assignment
sheet. The sum total of the quiz grades will count 10% towards your final course grade. Each quiz is worth
10 points for a total of 80 points (drop 1 lowest quiz). The quizzes will be 25 minutes (maximum) in length.
There will be no makeup quizzes.
Exams: Three exams will be given during class time on the dates listed and will be returned and reviewed
during recitation. There will be NO makeup exams and no grade will be dropped. I may be reached at
my cell-phone 455-3526 or joshiv@sunysuffolk.edu in the event of an emergency prior to a scheduled
exam.
Attendance: The college policy states that two absences (the equivalent of one week of class meeting
time) constitutes excessive absence of course content for the student and are grounds for being dismissed
from the course. If you are absent, you are responsible for any and all materials, notes, and class content
(quizzes, answer sheets, handouts, prelabs, lab reports) that transpired during, or was due to be submitted
in your absence.
Cell Phones: Audible cell phone usage such as ringing during class, answering the phone during class,
or text messaging during class is disruptive for everyone. While I realize that an emergency may arise that
would necessitate your receiving a call, I require that all cell pones be placed in a vibrate mode and if you
must take a call (for emergency only) that you remove yourself from the classroom/lab/recitation area before
you answer in an audible manner.
Calculators: A scientific calculator is required for the large amount of calculations that we will be
performing in all aspects of this chemistry course. This does not have to be a state-of-the-art, top-of-theline model. A TI 13 X is sufficient, as long as you are able to perform scientific notation, logarithms, and
that the calculator has some memory storage capacity.
1. YOUR CELL PHONE CANNOT SERVE AS A CALCULATOR.
2. CELL PHONES MAY NOT BE VISIBLE DURING QUIZZES OR EXAMINATIONS.
CALCULATORS MAY NOT BE SHARED ON QUIZZES OR EXAMINATIONS

Laboratory Policy
Preparation: All of the experiments include pre-lab assignments. For each of these experiments you must
complete the pre laboratory assignment before coming to the laboratory session. This assignment is due
at the beginning (PRE-LAB) of each laboratory period and counts as 10 points toward the grade for each
experiment. Pre-lab assignments will not be accepted after the laboratory for which the assignment is due
is in session.
Attendance: Being on time for laboratory is essential. If you are late (more than 10 minutes) you are not
allowed to carry out the experiment for that day and this will be counted as an absence. Laboratory
absences cannot be made up.
Grading: Laboratory reports are due one week after the experiment is completed. Late lab reports will be
penalized five (5) points per school day for a maximum of 5 school days (or one school week). After one
week, then report will not be accepted and will result in a grade of 0 (zero). One of the experiments
requires two consecutive weeks to finish and therefore the grade will be counted twice. For this experiment,
you must be present for both weeks to obtain the doubled lab grade. An unexcused laboratory absence will
result in a grade of 0 (zero) for that experiment. The two lowest lab grades will be dropped if you are
present for all of the experiments. If you miss a third lab, you will be dropped from the course.
Lab grades are not separable or transferable from previous semesters or to subsequent semesters.
