Chemistry 101-01 Introduction to Chemistry Syllabus, Fall 2004 Instructor: Mary C. Setzer E-mail: msetzer@chemistry.uah.edu Office: WH 342 Telephone: 824-3259 FAX: 824-6349 Office Hours: Mondays and Wednesdays 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm, or by appointment nd Textbook & other materials: Required: Russo & Silver, “Introductory Chemistry”, 2 Ed., a basic scientific calculator such as the TI 30-X or Casio fx-260, which are available for about $10 (you need to be able to work with scientific notation, take square roots, and do logarithms/antilogarithms –cell phones may not be used as calculators, no calculators that store equations such as the TI-86, etc. may be used), and The Prentice Hall Molecular Model Set for General and Organic Chemistry. Optional study guide: nd McGuire, “Study Guide and Selected Solutions for Introductory Chemistry”, 2 Ed. Additionally lecture notes will be available on the UAH WebCT site (http://classweb.uah.edu). I will use these notes during my class lectures. These notes are designed to complement lecture attendance and your textbook, and not to replace them. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to access and print these files; you can download this program free from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html. Examinations and Grading: There will be four examinations throughout the term worth 100 points each. A missed exam or the lowest exam score can be exchanged for a makeup test given at the end of the semester. There will be no special, early, or late exams. All makeup exams will be given during the last regular class meeting. You must request a makeup exam via email; you will be given the deadline to do this as the date draws near. The examinations will be based upon class lectures, textbook reading, assigned homework problems, and in-class demonstrations. There will also be a comprehensive final exam, worth 200 points. You will be given a seating chart for exam days; you must sit in your assigned seat on exam days. Note: bring a #2 pencil and the basic scientific calculator to all exams. You will be able to access your grades throughout the term by logging into the UAH WebCT site. Final grades will be based on your performance on the four exams and the final examination. There are 600 points possible. Grades will be assigned based upon the following breakdown: >540 480-539 B 420-479 C 360-419 D <360 A NC Homework Problems: Homework problems have been assigned below. These problems will not be collected or graded but examinations will be based upon them; pop quizzes will be given for extra credit, which may include the homework problems, problems much like them, problems from previous exams, or problems much like them. Additional exercises may be assigned through the semester. The assigned homework has answers in the back of the text, but you are encouraged to work other problems as well. Attendance and General Citizenship: This is a 100-level course; attendance is mandatory. You are expected to show respect for your instructor and your classmates. If you must come to class late or leave early, do so quietly. While you are encouraged to ask questions and participate in class discussions, do not engage in other conversations while lectures are being conducted. Cell phones and pagers may not be used while you are in class. You will be required to leave if you do not observe these rules. Misconduct: Cheating on examinations will not be tolerated. Anyone found cheating (copying another exam, asking others for answers, or using notes or textbooks during an exam) will be dealt with according to the UAH Student Handbook. To avoid any doubts during exams, please do not talk with others and do not look at other exams. Advice: Chemistry is a labor-intensive course. To do well involves much time and effort. You should expect to spend at least 10 hours per week outside of class studying and doing homework problems. It will be to your advantage to come to all of the lectures (and to come to all of the lectures on time and prepared to cover the material at hand, to ask questions, and to go over problems), to read (and re-read, if necessary,) the textbook, to work all of the homework problems, and not to fall behind. If you find yourself not grasping the material sufficiently, please get help immediately. Office hours are available and I encourage you to come and get help. Additionally, chemistry students can obtain free tutorial services from graduate students in the Chemistry Department’s Tutorial Room, MSB 200; a schedule for this semester will be posted. Complaint Procedure: If you have difficulties or complaints related to this course, your first action should be to discuss them with your instructor. If such a discussion would be uncomfortable for you or fails to resolve your difficulties, you should contact Professor James K. Baird, Chair of the Chemistry Department. His telephone number is 824-2416. If you still are unsatisfied, you should discuss the matter with Dr. Debra Moriarity, Associate Dean of the College of Science. Dean Moriarity's phone number is 824-6605. Special Needs Students: If you have special needs for this class which require a modification of seating, testing, or other class procedures you must discuss them fully with the instructor during the first two weeks of class. 2004 Setzer Chemistry 101-01 Introduction to Chemistry Calendar, Fall 2004 Monday August 30 Introduction September Lecture – Chapter 1 What is Wednesday 1 Chemistry?

Things are different: expectations are much higher and the pace is faster. Help is out there, but you have to realize you need it and ask for it. Results of a study by Landis, California State, 1995: Students with GPA > 3.7 Students with GPA < 2.0 • Study > 30 hrs/wk out of class. • Reviewed material before class. • Stayed 1-2 chapters ahead. • Reviewed notes after class. • Visited the professor/instructor. • Studied in groups of 3-5 several times per week. • Asked many questions. • Study 8-10 hrs/wk out of class. • Didn’t review material before class. • Stayed 1-2 chapters behind. • Didn’t look at notes after class. • Rarely discussed class work with others. • Rarely asked questions. • In effect, they are still in high school. Take steps to succeed: ♦ Go to class, arrive on time, sit up front, and stay awake. ♦ Talk with your teachers in and after class, during office hours. ♦ Recopy lecture notes Group effort (make sure you get all the information, teaching others will help you learn) Correlate your notes with the book ♦ Go over old exams and sample tests. Don’t just memorize the answers. Do learn how to work them. ♦ Group Study You learn by teaching You’ll get more done because you won’t get stuck on specific problems. You won’t miss important stuff. You will identify the material you don’t know. ♦ Remember: You always know the answer until someone asks you the question. If you don’t know it, it WILL be on the exam. ♦ Practice, practice, practice! Math problems require repetition. Exam requires rapid recognition of solution strategy – practice helps. Put practice problems on note cards and work them at odd times. ♦ Get help early on in the semester • Utilize office hours • Visit the tutorial room • Do not procrastinate ♦ Learn to manage and schedule your time. • Prioritize • Schedule. Keep track of what will be done when and where; account for all of your activities. • NOTE: 10 pm – 2 am are not the best study hours. ♦ Intense Study Session • 2-5 min: Set goals for the next 40 min. • 20-40 min: Read selectively, highlight important information, write notes in the margins, create mnemonics and concept maps, do problems, do problems, do more problems. • 5 min: Review what’s just been studied. • 10 min: Take a break. • Repeat ♦ Be smart on Exam Day • Get up early • Shower • “Dress for Success” • Eat a good meal • Avoid stress 2004 Setzer Periodic Table of the Elements 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1.008 H 1 10.811 9.012 6.941 B Be Li 5 4 3 26.982 24.305 22.990 Al Mg Na 13 12 11 47.90 50.9415 51.996 54.938 44.956 39.0983 40.08 Mn Cr V Ti Sc Ca K 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 85.468 87.62 88.906 91.22 92.9064 95.94 98.906 Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc 37 38 39 40 41 42 132.906 137.33 138.906 178.49 180.948 183.85 W Ta Hf La Ba Cs 74 73 72 57 56 55 (227) 226.025 (223) Ac Ra Fr 89 88 87 43 186.2 Re 75 (25 R 10 140.12 140.908 14 Pr Ce N 59 58 6 232.038 231.031 238 Pa Th 91 90 9 2004 Setzer CH 105 Introduction to Chemistry Laboratory Fall 2004 Instructor: Office: e-mail: Office hours: Phone: Books & supplies: Laboratory Manual Chemistry 105, by M. Setzer & W. Setzer, The Prentice Hall Molecular Model Set for General and Organic Chemistry, and a calculator. Clothing: Students must provide the following safety clothing; these items are not furnished. Eye protection is required at all times while in the laboratory; safety glasses or prescription glasses that provide adequate protection of the eyes are acceptable (clear lenses only). If there is a question as to adequate coverage, please consult the Laboratory Manager. Contact lenses are extremely dangerous in a chemistry laboratory and are strongly discouraged. If you insist on wearing contact lenses, you must wear face-fitting goggles and you must identify yourself to your lab instructor. Rubber or latex gloves should be worn while carrying out experimental work, handling chemicals, etc. A laboratory coat or apron is required. If an apron is used, you must also have long sleeves. Long hair must be pulled back or otherwise restrained. Closed-toe shoes must be worn; sandals or any other types of open shoes are prohibited. No roller blades or skates are allowed in the lab. It is also recommended that students bring a roll of paper towels for their own use. General Information: Each laboratory procedure should be carefully studied before the lab session. The pre-lab assignment must be completed prior to the experiment. You will not be allowed to begin an experiment without first completing the pre-lab. If you have not completely read the lab instructions and precautions, you are a hazard to yourself and those around you. The instructor will cover the overall purpose and principles of the experiment at the beginning of the laboratory. If there is anything about the experiment you do not understand, feel free to ask questions at any point. Some equipment must be signed out from the stockroom. This equipment must be returned at the end of your lab period. Report any injuries or chemical spills to your instructor immediately. Attendance and General Citizenship: This is a 100-level course; attendance is mandatory. You are expected to show respect for your instructor and your classmates. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off while you are in lab. You will be required to leave if you do not observe these rules. Grades will be assigned Final grades will be assigned according to the average Grading: according to the following earned using the scheme at left. Percentage scores will breakdown: correspond to the following letter grades: > 90% A Pre-lab and Postlab Questions 25% Experimental 80%-89.9% B Worksheets 65% Safety, technique, preparation 10% 70%-79.9% C 60%-69.9% D < 60% NC Late papers will be graded down according to the following scheme: two days late, -20%; one week late, -40%; two weeks late, you get NO points. We will accept NO EXCUSES for late laboratory reports. Cheating will not be tolerated. Anyone found cheating will be dealt with according to the UAH Student Handbook. Laboratory techniques and safety practices. These points are based upon the observations of the teaching assistant as to how you conduct yourself in the laboratory (Are you handling noxious chemicals in the fume hood? Are you cleaning up spills on the bench or on the balances? Are you wearing safety glasses? Are you using the equipment and glassware properly?). Punctuality, lab preparation, etc. These points are based upon the observations of the teaching assistant as to whether you are prepared to carry out the day's experiment (Did you come to the laboratory on time and prepared to do the experiment?). Pre-lab questions will be collected by your instructor at the beginning of class. If you are tardy, your pre-lab questions will not be collected or graded for that session (although you should still have them finished in order to have permission to participate in the lab); a grade of zero will be recorded. Three tardinesses will count as one unexcused absence. Quizzes, announced or unannounced, may be given throughout the semester at the discretion of the instructor. If you have an unavoidable absence, CONTACT THE INSTRUCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. A day will be scheduled at the end of the term to carry out make-ups for excused absences; you must discuss the labs to be made up with your instructor before this day. You must provide documentation as to the cause of the absence in order to be eligible to make up a lab either during the term or on the make up day. An instructor must be present for a student to make up a lab. Adequate notice must be provided to the stockroom to ensure materials can be prepared. The instructor will tell you when the experimental worksheet will be due for the make-up session. Unexcused absences cannot be made up, the worksheet will not be graded, and a grade of zero will be recorded. After two unexcused absences, you will receive a grade of “NC” for the course. CH 105, Fall ‘04 2 Glassware: Laboratory glassware is expensive. When experiments are carried out using glassware, some things will get broken and we expect that. However, excessive breakage, or breakage resulting from carelessness are unacceptable laboratory practices---poor laboratory technique, and will be graded accordingly. When you break glassware be sure to dispose of it correctly in the broken glass container, not just in a trash can. For broken thermometers, be sure to clean up the any mercury mess as well as the glass. Safety: Because flammable liquids and corrosive and health-damaging chemicals are frequently encountered in the laboratory; unsafe laboratory practices cannot and will not be tolerated. Anyone observed violating safety rules, which may result in damage to their own health (for example, not wearing safety glasses, handling noxious chemicals outside the hood, etc.), will be reprimanded and graded down on technique. No food or drinks are allowed in the laboratory. All books, coats, backpacks, etc. must be placed on the shelves in the front area of the laboratory. If the safety violation threatens the health or safety of others, the violator will be asked to leave the laboratory. Student refusing to leave will be removed by campus police. Know where the fire extinguisher, safety shower, and eyewash fountain are located. Chemical Waste Disposal: In order to avoid environmental contamination, laboratory chemicals must be disposed of properly. All wastes should be placed in appropriately labeled containers. If you are not sure where to dispose of any waste ask your instructor. Do not pour anything down the sink without explicit instructions to do so. Solid chemical waste is placed in the appropriate chemical waste bucket, NOT IN THE TRASH CAN. Broken glass is placed into the broken glass container, place only broken glass in the broken glass container. Never put solids, organic wastes, or heavy-metal salts down the drain!

If such a discussion would be uncomfortable for you or fails to resolve your difficulties, you should speak to Mary Setzer, Chemistry Stockroom Manager, phone: 824-3259, email: <msetzer@chemistry.uah.edu>. If you still are unsatisfied, you should contact Professor James K. Baird, Chair of the Chemistry Department. His telephone number is 824-2416 and his email address is <chemch@email.uah.edu>. If you remain unsatisfied, you should discuss the matter with Professor Debra Moriarity, Associate Dean of the College of Science. Dean Moriarity's telephone number is 824-6605 and her email address is <moriard@email.uah.edu>. Special Needs Students: If you have special needs for this class, which require a modification of seating or other class procedures, you must discuss them fully with the instructor during the first week of class. Withdrawing from the lab: Withdrawal is not official until it has been processed by the Records Office. Failure to attend lab without an official withdrawal will result in a grade of “NC”.
