COURSE DESCRIPTION
CHEM 1412 is the continuation of chem. 1411 course which is intended to:
 show students the importance of chemistry in their major area of study as well as its
applications to their daily lives.
 provides the necessary background for specialist studies.
 includes appropriate experiments to reinforce theoretical concepts.
Prerequisites: CHEM 1411 OR its equivalent.
Course Goals: Have science and engineering majors able to translate the theoretical concepts of
chemistry into concrete terms.
Objective:
1. Understanding the solution process.
2. Determine order of reactions.
3. Learn all definitions of acids and bases.
4. Sketch voltaic cells, identify different modes of radioactivity.
Upon completion of Chemistry 1412, successful students are expected to
1. calculate the molar mass of an unknown compound using colligative properties.
2. determine the rates and order of reactions.
3. predict the effects on equilibria based on le Chatelier’s principle.
4. write equilibrium constant expression
5. calculate the cell potential of a voltaic cell and identify different types of nuclear processes
Note: The instructor reserves the right to reschedule or omit class lectures missed due to unforeseen
circumstances, improvisations or inclement weather.
Credit: 4 (3 lecture, 3 lab)
LABORATORY POLICY
Laboratory rules and safety instructions will be reviewed and observed. Eye protection is very
important. During wet labs, eye glasses or goggles must be worn at all times during the
laboratory period. Any student not wearing safety glasses at any time after the experiment has
begun may be given a zero for that experiment.
1
The lab takes 20 points of the total grade. Each lab grade is based on your attendance, participation and
performance. Safety is the most important issue in the lab. You must follow the safety procedure all the
time.
A student arriving 20 minutes after the start of lab will not be allowed to perform the lab.
See syllabus for schedule of experiments.
The experiment data sheet should be turned in one week after it was finished.

The final examination is a comprehensive examination! It will be similar in style and concept to the
unit examinations.
Important Message from HCCS to All Students: "Students who repeat a course three or more times
may soon face significant tuition/fee increases at HCC and other Texas public colleges and
universities. Please ask your instructor/counselor about opportunities for tutoring/other assistance prior to
considering course withdrawal, or if you are not receiving passing grades." Students without showing for
the FIRST TWO WEEKS will be AUTOMATICALLY dropped by the College. Please check HCCS
website for the academic schedule and important dates for spring 2009.

Students with disabilities: HCCS Disability Support Service states: Any student with a documented
disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc) who needs to arrange reasonable
accommodations must contact the appropriate Disability Support Service (DSS) Counselor at the
beginning of each semester. Faculty are authorized to provide only the accommodations requested by the
Disability Support Services Office. Students who are requesting special testing accommodations must
first contact John Reno at john.reno@hccs.edu or call him at 713/718-6165.
CLASSROOM RULES OF CONDUCT
1. Attend class regularly and on time. Students who arrive ten (10) minutes or later are asked not to
enter the classroom. The roll will be taken each class period. Continued absences (excess of 10% of
the total hours of instruction) may result in an administrative drop from the course.
2. Turn off all electronic and portable devices. Students are required to turn off and put away all
electronic devices (cell-phones, smart phones, ipads etc.) and asked not to use them in class.
3. Food and beverages are not permitted in the classroom. This includes plate lunches, drinks, candy,
etc. whether opened or not.
4. Talking and sleeping in class during lectures is distracting to the professor and to other students. It
will not be tolerated.
5. No children are allowed in class at any time.
6. Cheating on exams or quizzes and other forms of academic dishonesty will result in an automatic
final grade of “F,” or dismissal from the course. A report will be made to the Dean of the College and
to the Dean of Students. The professor shall exercise the right to recommend and pursue student
expulsion from the university.
7. You are not allowed to leave class during exams. This includes going to rest rooms. In case of
medical emergency, your exam will be invalidated and you will be given an entirely different exam
on an arranged day and time upon presentation of an excuse letter certified by a physician and
subsequently verified by the professor.

8. Turn cell phones off and put them away during lectures and exams. Text messaging during class and
exams is prohibited. No use of earphones of any kind is allowed unless there is a documented hearing
impairment. You will be asked to leave the room if you do so.
Academic Honesty: Zero tolerance for any type of academic dishonesty. Student who is caught cheating
will receive a grade of zero for that exam or lab report with no exceptions and may be administratively
withdrawn from the class. The student will be reported to the College for discipline action.
Attendance/Withdrawal/Grade: Keep perfect attendance is essential for any science class. Attendance
will be recorded in each lecture and lab. Students are responsible by themselves f
or catching up the course works due to absence, tardiness or any other forms of missing the class. Student
may be dropped from a course after the student has accumulated absences in excess of 12.5% of the hours
of instruction.
Academic performance is the responsibility of each student. Failure to meet the requirements for the
course will result in an “F” on your transcript. If you are having difficulty, please see the instructor for
additional assistance. If you are unable to improve your grade you may consider withdrawing from the
course. A withdrawal slip must be submitted. REMEMBER, an “F” on your transcript NEVER goes
away. An incomplete (“I”) will only be given for extraordinary circumstances (death in the family, severe
illness, military duty, jury selection, etc).
Testing: Three tests will be given during the semester. Each test will be concentrated with specific
chapters. The test date and the exact content will be pre-announced. Sample/practice problems will be
reviewed. There may be no makeup test.
Final Exam: A system wide final exam will be given. It is comprehensive. System Final Exam is
mandatory and can not be dropped. Thus missing the Final or inadequate preparation for it will have
adverse consequence affecting your grade.
To be successful in this class, it is the student’s responsibility to:
· Attend class and participate in class discussions and activities
· Read and comprehend the textbook
· Complete the required assignments and exams:
· Ask for help when there is a question or problem
· Keep copies of all paperwork, including this syllabus, handouts and all assignments
Grading Policy:
Three tests: 60%
System Final: 20%
Lab: 20% (drop one lowest score)
1 Take-home lab safety exam: 5%
Bonus: Optional Quiz: 5%
