Course Description:
From the catalogue:
This course is a continuation of the quantitative study of the physical and chemical behavior of matter in its
several phases and a consideration of modern theories of bonding forces at the molecular level. Reaction
kinetics, chemical equilibrium, oxidation-reduction and acid-base chemistry, electrochemistry, chemical
thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry, and the descriptive chemistry of selected elements and their
compounds are discussed.
Course Outline: Chapters 15 to 23 will be covered from the textbook (see attached course schedule)
Attendance: Attendance: Class attendance is required and attendance will be taken at irregular intervals
during the semester.

Study Tips- Important!!
Please Read! - An understanding of chemistry is obtained one step at a time, by building on concepts and
skills that were previously learned. Therefore, it's very important to keep up with the material presented in
the course. This is most easily done by staying up-to-date with reading the textbook, attending lectures
regularly, working the homework problems diligently, and studying the material every day. You will not
do well in this course if you wait until the night before an exam to study.
Accommodations Statement
“Valdosta State University complies fully with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA). If you believe that you are covered under this act, and if you have need for special arrangements to
allow you to meet the requirements of this course, please contact the Access Office for Students with
Disabilities in Nevins Hall-Room 1115, 245-2498. Also, please discuss this need with me at the time of the
first class.”
Academic Student Conduct Code
You may not use your textbook during examinations and quizzes. Any form of cheating will result in a zero
in that exam, accompanied by judicial proceedings in accordance with Valdosta State University’s policy
on academic honesty. Useful information is located in Section I of the Student Code of Conduct, located in
the Student Handbook.
Pagers and Cell Phones: Cell phones are to be “turned off” or kept in the “vibrate mode”
I wish everyone the best this semester. I hope it will be a positive learning experience for all involved.
