Before coming to lab, download the lab data sheet that will be
needed for that day. A copy of the lab experiments have also been
placed on reserve in the library. Please prepare for the experiment
ahead of time. You will not be admitted to the laboratory unless

COURSE
OBJECTIVE:
Chemistry 1212 is the second course in the Chemistry 1211/1212
sequence
That provides a thorough introduction to the principles of general
1
chemistry.
It is designed for students who are science majors and who have already
had some introduction to chemistry. Mathematics of chemistry, solution
chemistry, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics and
electrochemistry will be covered.
After completion of this course a student is expected to:
1. Reason and think analytically in solving problems and making
decisions in matters involving chemistry. Attainment of this objective
will be reflected by the student's ability to:
a.
b.
c.
Apply the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics involving the
concepts of enthalpy, entropy and free energy.
Apply the concept of buffered solutions.
Describe a galvanic cell using half-cell reactions
2. Apply a basic understanding of the systematic methods of scientific
inquiry, principles and procedures to investigate problems. Attainment of
this objective will be reflected by the student's ability to:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
Use equilibrium constants to explain chemical equilibrium.
Explain solubility, vapor pressure, boiling point elevation, freezing
point depression, osmotic pressure and the colligative properties of
electolyte solutions based on intermolecular forces.
Use pH to describe acids and bases.
Use reaction rates, rate laws, reaction mechanisms and catalysis to
explain chemical kinetics.
Describe the physical significance of the state functions: enthalpy,
entropy, internal energy and free energy.
Describe the structure of solids using the closest packing of spheres
model.
Describe liquids using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.
3. Understand and apply fundamental mathematical concepts in solving
chemistry problems. Attainment of this objective will be reflected by the
student's ability to:
a. Use the SI system, scientific notation, and dimensional analysis in
solving problems to the correct number of significant figures.
b. Solve acid-base and buffer solution problems.
c. Solve pH, chemical equilibrium and chemical kinetics problems.
d. Calculate the molarity, molality, and mole fraction of solutions.
e. Calculate the thermodynamic functions using Hess' Law
2
4. Apply available information technology to conduct library research in
the field of chemistry. Attainment of this objective will be reflected by the
student's ability to:
a. Successfully complete laboratory experiments by locating reference or
standard values of laboratory measured quantities for comparison and
error analysis.
b. Conduct a literature search on projects as assigned.
5. Read, listen and communicate with clarity, effectiveness and
understanding. Attainment of this objective will be reflected by the
student's ability to:
a. Successfully complete written and oral assignments, quizzes and
examinations.
b. Follow oral and written instructions to successfully complete laboratory
assignments.
c. Present oral and/or written responses to assignments, quizzes,
examinations and laboratory reports in a clear, logical and legible
manner.
ATTENDANCE:
Attendance will be taken during each class period. Unexcused and
excessive absences will count against your class participation score.
Tardiness will be considered an absence. GRADES below.
You are responsible for all material covered in lecture. For this reason, class
attendance is critical for success in chemistry. Absences will lower your
comprehension of the material and may be a major contributor to failure in
the class. However, students should be mindful of the health and well-being
of fellow students. Students who are ill or otherwise suspect to be carrying
a contagious illness should refrain from class attendance. The course
syllabus’ policies on class attendance, assignments and class participation
still apply.
GRADES:
Determination of the final grade for the course will be based on in-class
exams, quizzes, a final exam, class participation, a laboratory grade (see
separate laboratory syllabus) and any extra credit earned. The
distribution will be as follows:
In-class Exams
Laboratory
Final laboratory Exam
Class Participation

The final letter grade will be based on the following general scale:

IN-CLASS
EXAMS:

March 5
April 4
The exams will be averaged. No exam will be dropped. There will be
no make up exams. Without an acceptable, documented, and valid
excuse, missed exams will be assigned a score of zero. To minimize
cheating opportunities, no one will be allowed to leave the classroom
during exams. Please ensure you attend to your restroom needs prior to
taking the exam.
LABORATORY
GRADE:
The laboratory grade will count as 20% of your overall Chemistry 1212
grade.
A student who fails the laboratory portion of the course will receive an F
for the ENTIRE course. An average laboratory score of less than 9 out
of 15 constitutes laboratory failure. The grade consists of the following:
A. Laboratories (15%)
Pre-lab Quiz
Lab Report Form
Lab Notebook Pages -
5 points out of 15
5 points out of 15
5 points out of 15
B. Final Laboratory Exam (5%)
A final Laboratory exam will be given during the laboratory period on April
25, 2013. You will ONLY have the use of your OWN Laboratory
Notebook for this exam. Lab notebooks cannot be shared. Use of graded
lab reports will also not be allowed. Borrowing someone else's notebook
will be considered cheating and will result in an F for the course as well
as the reporting of the student to the Academic Dean.
A student who fails the laboratory portion of the course will receive an F
4
for the entire course. An average laboratory score of less than 9 out of
15 constitutes laboratory failure.
CLASS
PARTICIPATION:
Class participation involves your active participation in class and your
adherence to the policies outlined in this syllabus regarding class attendance,
punctuality, late arrival for class, early departure from class and any extra
credit participation. Disrespectful and disruptive behavior during
lectures and labs will not be tolerated. It is the teacher's prerogative to
expel you from the class and/or from the course if this occurs.
FINAL EXAM:
A comprehensive, two-hour final exam will be given on Friday May 3 at
10:15 AM. – 12:15 PM. in the IC building, Room 421 covering all
lecture material from the course. The exam cannot be made up. The
exam will constitute 30 % of your overall course grade.
EXTRA
CREDIT:
Throughout the course, opportunities will be provided for extra credit
via several means (extra problems on exams and quizzes, out of class
assignments, etc.). Any credit earned as a result of this extra credit work
will be added to the final course grade before the letter grade of the course
is assigned.
ACADEMIC
DISHONESTY
POLICY:
Unless otherwise stated by the instructor, exams and quizzes must reflect
your work only. Although students will work in pairs in the laboratory (to
include the preparation of the pre-lab and laboratory reports), each student
is responsible for completing and turning in their own laboratory
reports and pre-labs. Cheating in any form will not be tolerated and
will result in an F for the course as well as the reporting of the student
to the Academic Dean. See the policy concerning Academic Dishonesty,
in the Gordon College Academic Catalog.
