Office Hours: T 1:00-2:30 PM; W 9-11 AM (or by appointment)
Course description: During the semester we will cover intermolecular forces, properties
of solutions, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, equilibria (acid-base and aqueous),
thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry.
Prerequisites: Grade of C or better in CHEM 1110/1111L or CHEM 1010/1011L.
Corequisites: CHEM 1120, CHEM 1120D, and CHEM 1121L.
Additional Detail: This course sequence is designed for students who are interested in a
career and/or advanced study in chemistry or chemistry-related fields. Emphasis is placed
on developing an understanding of the concepts underlying each of the topics covered, and
developing strong reasoning skills. This sequence is recommended for students majoring
in Chemistry (ACS certified), Biochemistry, or Chemical Engineering. Students in other
majors who are interested in a more challenging chemistry experience may also choose this
course sequence with permission of the instructor.
Required Text and Materials:
1. Chemistry: The Central Science by Brown, Lemay, Bursten, Murphy, and Woodward,
12th ed.
2. Vocabulary for the College-Bound Student by Harold Levine (Amsco School
Publications, Inc., 1983, 3rd or 4th ed.
3. Calculator with logs, sines, and scientific notation (must be non-programmable).
4. Framework molecular model kit made by Prentice Hall. This kit will be usable with
all subsequent chemistry courses.
Course Objectives:
Upon completing the Chemistry I-II sequence, a student should:
1. Have a perspective of the scope of modern chemistry and its implications for
society.
2. Have an understanding of the scientific method and how it is used to answer
questions in science.
3. Display mastery of those concepts of chemistry needed to succeed in upper level
chemistry and chemistry-based courses.

Course Requirements:
General Requirements: You must be registered for CHEM 1120, CHEM 1120D, and CHEM
1121L in order to receive credit for CHEM 1120. The lecture will meet 3 hours per week.
Recitation (Drill): The recitation (drill) will meet once a week for 90 minutes. The
recitation will serve as a bridge between lecture and lab. It will be used to discuss the
upcoming lab and the results of the previous lab in detail. Recitation quizzes and problems,
and vocabulary will also be administered weekly during the recitation period. Students will
participate in peer-led problem solving sessions involving material from both lecture and
lab.
Online Homework: All students are required to enroll into MasteringChemistry (an online
tutorial and homework system) at www.masteringchemistry.com. The course ID is
MCMEDA20053. You must use a reliable computer with high speed internet connection
when doing your online homework. A handout with instructions on how to access
MasteringChemistry will be provided the first day of class and posted on blackboard. The
homework deadline will not be extended.
In-Class Quizzes: There will be a series of unannounced in-class quizzes. It is the instructor‘s
prerogative to decide when to give these quizzes.
Laboratory: CHEM1121L is required for this class. This is a separate class and does not
influence the grade in the lecture. However, if you withdraw from the lecture you should
also withdraw from the laboratory.
Attendance Policy: The University attendance policy for non-degree credit and 1000 level
courses states that absence is considered excessive when the number of absences exceeds
twice the number of times the class meets per week. This means that six absences is the
maximum number of absences allowed for MWF lectures and four absences is the
maximum number of absences allowed for TR lectures. The total number of absences
includes days missed for any reason including illness, late registration, or late enrollment
in the course. Excessive absences will result in the grade of FE (failure because of excessive
absence). The university attendance policy is stated in the university catalog.
Academic Misconduct: Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to
1. using unauthorized materials in completion of an exam, quiz, or assignment;
2. assisting or gaining assistance from an unauthorized source during an exam, quiz, or
assignment;
3. providing assistance to another student in a manner not authorized by the
instructor;
4. obtaining an examination or assignment in an unauthorized manner;
5. using material from a source without giving proper citation;
6. improperly fabricating or altering data;
7. submitting work to one class that is substantially similar to work submitted for
another class without prior approval from the instructors involved;

8. submitting written work that is not completely one’s own or allowing others to
submit one’s work;
9. destroying or altering the work of another student;
10. committing any other violation of academic integrity as described in course syllabi.
Disciplinary sanctions for academic misconduct include academic censure, academic
suspension, dismissal or expulsion from the University. The full text of the College of Arts
and Sciences’ Academic Integrity Policy can be found at www.xula.edu/cas.
CELL PHONES, IPODS AND OTHER SIMILAR ELECTRONIC DEVICES ARE NOT
ALLOWED IN THE LECTURE HALL. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RULE WILL
RESULT IN YOUR REMOVAL FROM THE CLASS ROOM.
Students with disabilities: It is the policy of Xavier University of Louisiana to
accommodate individuals with disabilities pursuant to federal law and the University’s
commitment to equal educational opportunities. It is the responsibility of the student to
present documentation to the instructor that clearly outlines all necessary
accommodations. Any student requiring accommodations should contact Ms. Sheila August
in the Counseling and Wellness Center in Building 15. After the student has received
his/her accommodation form, he/she should meet with the instructor to discuss the
provisions of those accommodations as soon as possible. The accommodations will begin
the date the form is received by the instructor.
Evacuation Policy: In the event that classes are cancelled due to a hurricane evacuation,
assignments and other course materials will be posted on Blackboard. Students should
access the Blackboard site as soon as possible following evacuation.
