Old Lecture Text (Textbook Option):
I have available many older college chemistry texts. You are welcome to use these texts
either the first few weeks of the course until you can afford the text or for the entire
course. You must have your lab manual and lab notebook by the second
week.
(If you have unused space in your lab notebook from 2045 you may continue use it.)
As long as it is a college chem. text (not beginning, preparatory or allied health) you
may use any book as long as you can use an index. For example our first exam includes
Module 7 II which is chapter 13 in the Atoms first text. Last year, the McMurry text the
same material is in Chapter 10. Five years ago, I used the kotz text and material was in
Chapter 13. If you completed 2045 in the last year at any campus, you should have the
required text. At North we are switching to a traditional College Chemistry text (Tro) for
CHM 2045 Fall 2012 term and CHM 2046 Spring 2013 term.

begin with the # 46:
i.e. 46: First Email or 46: your subject
Each student should send the instructor an email during the first week from both your FSCJ email account and/or an
outside email account for your primary contact, and the other as a backup contact. Be certain you put in subject box:
46: first email
Tell me about yourself. Why are you taking this course? When did you complete CHM 2045C, where, with which
instructor, and your grade. What is your highest math course completed? Where do you live? What are your telephone
numbers? What is your external email address which can serve as a backup to FSCJ assigned email.
Always begin the subject of each email with 46:
Subject-less emails will be deleted or subjects without the number code may be deleted. Attachments will only be
opened if the number code is in the subject line. This prevents viruses and spam.
Free Time Chart (10 points):
Find me 10 hours per week of the 168 total hours in a week. Please complete this
information(time matrix) on the last page of the syllabus and turn in Thursday August 28th.

Free Time First Lab Exercise:
Chemistry takes a lot of time to study. Each student should identify at least 10 hours or more
per week of free time that she/he will commit towards his/her study of chemistry. The
following are suggested strategies for scheduling your study times. Make an hour by hour
seven day matrix 8 columns (hour and each day of the week) by 24 lines (representing each
hour). See Master Student Web Site above. Unfortunately there are only 168 hours in a week
and I need 10 plus six hours of class time.
Starting with wake-up and end with sleeping:
1. Schedule fixed blocks of time first. These include work, class time, eating, and sleeping.
2. Include time for travel and errands
3. Schedule time for fun.
4. Set realistic goals.
5. Allow flexibility in your schedule.
6. Study at least two hours for every hour in class plus an extra two for computer assignments in the open lab and an extra two
with a cooperative group member for homework comparison and checking.
7. Avoid scheduling marathon study sessions.
8. Set clear starting and stopping times.
9. Plan for the Unplanned!
ATTENDANCE:
Students are expected to attend class and will be responsible for all material presented. The student must sign
the attendance roster to earn credit for attendance. Each lecture class attended will be worth three points for
at least 90 total points of the final grade if there is an attendance monitor. Students arriving late will earn less
points. 8:45-9:00 2 point and 1 point after 9:00. Students who leave early or 15 minutes before the ending time, will
be scored zero for attendance that day. A second roll may be circulated 15 minutes before the scheduled ending
time. For each lecture missed after two scheduled lectures, will lose 5 points per class missed.
Sign in for lab is counted separately worth 4 points for each week with a 60 points total. Anyone arriving more
than 15 minutes late (after 10:15) on a wet lab day may be locked out and not allowed to complete the lab that
day.. A student absent from a lab will lose 4 points for the first, then 10 points for the second, and 20 for each
additional lab missed. There is no make-up for a missed lab and the score for that lab will also be a zero.
Attendance depends on an attendance monitor keeping totals. (If the class is a ’dry’ lab or a video, than makeup
will be allowed.)
The student will fill out a data card/page similar to your instructor one the last page of this syllabus for the first
day’s attendance. The student will submit by the second class, the time 24x7 time management form with her/his
class schedule, work schedule and other regular commitments. This is worth 10 points if submitted the second
class. The student must also send the instructor a first email as described above before the second class
for 10 points. This also depends on the attendance monitor.
Study Groups/Phone Network/Lab Partner:
On the first day of class each student will complete a Data Card, Interview a peer, and introduce (if time permits) that
peer to the class. From these exercises and the learning styles inventory, study groups, a phone network, and lab partners need
to be established. Study areas, as well as the classroom, should be used for study groups plus lunch and learn sessions. Some
portions of the office times may meet in the library computer learning lab. Each week volunteers will be appreciated to assist
in the group operation of the class. The first personal assistant volunteer will prepare a matrix with each student’s free study
time so that study groups may begin to be formed the second week of school. The phone network will be established so that in
case of emergencies by the instructor each student will be responsible to call two other students in the network to alert the
student of the emergency so that information may be distributed prior to the next scheduled class. Emergencies will usually
also include a group email on the morning/afternoon of the class meeting.
Homework: The sample pretest quizzes posted on the grading outline are not
homework to be turned. They are for the student’s self practice and for the student to
understand what the instructor expects from each section of the textbook and his lectures. The
Pretest is an actual page of a previous exam. The grading outline may be found at:
http://www.fscj.me/chm1045/46grdF12.htm
The instructor requires online multiple choice homework for every chapter. The homework
may be on Blackboard from our Atoms First Text and/or it may be online with the previous
McMurry text:
http://www.fccj.us/chm2045/McMurry5thQuiz.html
The 3 part McMurry 50 multiple choice questions per chapter is worth 10 homework points for
up to 100 total point. Students will be on their honor to complete these exercises and submit
the # correct on the Pretest Grading Outline.
Daily Pretest Quizzes (optional):
Pretest quizzes may be administered before class (8:00-8:30 am) in our classroom,
sometimes during, and/or after every class which is not a scheduled exam day. (On Tuesday
our classroom is available 9:45 am until 10:30 am. These pretest quizzes may not be made
up outside of scheduled class time, unless directed by the instructor to complete the pretest in
the test center during an assigned period of time. The pretest must be completed on the day
assigned and are generally yellow hard copy labeled Pretest#1. Sometimes the instructor will
allow the students a second chance on the pretest as a makeup the following class period and
these sheets are generally pink and labeled Pretest#2. Green is Pretest#3.
Scored pretest quizzes are NOT recorded in the instructor’s grade book or on
Blackboard, but must be attached to the Modular Exam Grading Outline the day of the exam
to receive the pretest grade. This pretest packet is submitted as a separate packet. Students
must write the scores on both the cover sheet of the pretest packet and on the front page
of the exam.
The student will skip the section of the modular exam that is pre-tested successfully. The
Pretest scores may be recorded on the attendance sheet, but only for your instructor’s sense
of current levels of class achievement. If you lose the graded pretests, you will have to do
the section over on the exam. If instructor misplaced you pretest, then you MUST do it
over. The instructor may also void any pretest for any reason. Voided pretest must be
done againwith a different color paper.
The instructor only records Module Exam totals and the Final Exam in his grade book and on
Blackboard. Multiple choice and vocabulary sections of modules are usually only tested on
exam day, sometimes online, and are usually never pre-tested nor post-tested.
Do Not Staple the Modular Exams together as they are graded separately, listed on
Blackboard separately, and returned separately after the exam day. Please staple
carefully only your pretest packet with the goldenrod color cover sheet. Mixing the modular
papers on Exam day with pretest may result in a lower grade.
The student must submit a Post Test Request Form during the week before the final
exams to redo any section.
Samples of each section (pretest) of each exam may be found on the grading outline on
the web site. These Saamples may not be submitted for grading. They are only samples.
On the sample tests are suggestions for paper and pencil homework in the textbook.
The grading outline may be found at:
Kotz 6th Edition: http://www.fccj.us/chm2046/46grdF08.htm
McMurray 5th edition: http://www.fccj.us/chm2046/46grdF10McM.htm
Burge 1st Edition: http://www.fscj.me/chm2046/46grdF12.htm
Pre-testing is a privilege not a right!
Our classroom D-211 does not have a scheduled class in the room after our class
on Tuesday until 10:30. If space can be found, pretesting will be allowed after lab at 1:00 to
1:30 pm on Thursday. Students who are late to class will not be allowed to pretest until after
class. Students should plan to stay late if they can not arrive early. Many times the pretest will
not be administered until the last 10 minutes of class so that student may complete the item
after class has concluded. Pretest will be graded for all students who stay after class or lab..
MAKE-UP POLICY:
Make-up exams are usually not given. In the event of an unavoidable absence on exam day (jury duty,
hospitalization, incarceration, and death in the immediate family), you will be allowed make-up tests only upon the
instructor’s approval.. You must contact the instructor, no later than, the week of the exam in order to discuss what
arrangements might be made. This may be done with a quick email. A message must be left on the instructor's email (johtaylo@fccj.edu ) or his cell phone 614-0531 if the instructor cannot be reached. If a makeup is allowed, it
must be completed prior to return of the exam papers completed by the students attending the scheduled exam.
Missed exams will otherwise count as 0 points. Papers are returned usually after one or two weekends after the
exam.
Students who take the test on the assigned day are guaranteed to receive their graded exam on or before the next exam day,
otherwise the student will be assigned a 100% grade for the un-graded paper. Students not taking the exam on the assigned
exam day may not receive their grade until days or weeks after the class papers are returned.
Major Learning Outcomes (Goals):
This course is designed as the second semester of a two semester
sequence of College Chemistry. CHM 2046C has been modified and
streamlined to accomplish the following major learning outcomes in 45
total hours of class and instruction. Students entering the class should have
had CHM2045C with a passing grade. FSCJ Official Outline:

from the Student Catalog and are rules for the operation of this course:
“Academic dishonesty, in any form, is expressly prohibited by the rules of the District
Board of Trustees of Florida State College at Jacksonville.
As used herein, academic dishonesty incorporates the following.



Cheating, which is defined as the giving or taking of any information or material with the intent of
wrongfully aiding one’s self or another in academic work considered in the determination of course
grade or the outcome of a standardized test.
Plagiarism, which is defined as the act of stealing or passing off as one’s own work the words, ideas or
conclusions of another as if the work submitted were the product of one’s own thinking rather than an
idea or product derived from another source.
Any other form of inappropriate behavior which may include but is not limited to: falsifying records or
data, lying, unauthorized copying, tampering, abusing or otherwise unethically using computer or other
stored information, and any other act or misconduct which may reasonably be deemed to be a part of
this heading.
Alleged Academic Dishonesty in the Classroom
A faculty member who has a concern regarding a student’s conduct in the area of academic dishonesty may
elect to meet with the student directly.
Once the student is notified, it is advised that the student resolve the matter with the faculty member.
However, at any time the student may request a hearing with the campus dean of student success.
Meeting(s) referenced above shall meet the College’s requirements for due process.
Following the discussion with the student, the faculty member may take one or more of the following action(s).
1. Verbally warn the student that continuation or repetition of misconduct of this nature may be cause
for further disciplinary action.
2. Require the student to retake the test or rewrite the assignment.
3. Require the student to withdraw from the course.
4. Fail the student for the assignment.
5. Fail the student for the course.
6. Refer the student(s) to the campus dean of student success for possible suspension or dismissal.
For cases in which the student is referred to the campus dean of student success for action, the dean will
appropriately involve the faculty member and inform the faculty member of the disposition of the matter.
Each faculty member shall communicate the College’s policy on academic dishonesty to each class section
with which that faculty member is involved. (This syllabus is that communication)
Classroom Etiquette:
Students are expected to conduct themselves as adults in the classroom showing respect to their
classmates. Only persons registered for this class are permitted in the classroom. As a courtesy to the
instructor and your fellow classmates, cellular telephones and pagers should be cut off before
entering the classroom or laboratory. Likewise, the instructor sometimes forgets to shut his down at
the beginning of class, so hopefully someone sitting close to the front may remind the instructor with a
hand gesture for him to check his phone. Disruptive students maybe asked to leave. Students are not to
be on cell phones talking or text messaging. Students are not to be listening to the IPOD or MP3 players
during class or test time.
Children in the Classroom Policy: It is the goal of FCCJ to provide a safe and effective learning
environment for all students. Any action, which interferes with this goal, will not be permitted.
Children must not be left unattended at any time on campus. If an emergency arises which requires a
student to bring an underage child (defined as any child under the age of sixteen who is not a FCCJ
student enrolled in a credit class) to campus, the child must be under the direct supervision of an adult
at all times. Parents and guardians of children considered disruptive or unsupervised will be asked to
remove the children from the campus immediately.
Bringing children to the classroom is not permissible under most circumstances. However, if an emergency arises
which necessitates bringing a child to class, the student must receive the prior consent of the faculty member involved.
Children who are ill may not be brought to class regardless of the circumstances. Due to the nature of the equipment,
the subject matter involved, and the level of supervision necessary, underage children will not be allowed in college
laboratories or in the Learning Center at any time and/or under any circumstances.
Children enrolled in non-credit classes must be under the direct supervision of an adult at all times. Likewise, children
attending campus events must be supervised at all times. Any child under the age of 16 must be under the direct
supervision of his/her parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult when in the college library unless the child is
part of a call AND the supervising teacher or paraprofessional is present

Energy Project: Gasoline Demand :
During the first weeks of class you need to fill your gasoline tank in your car. During course you will
keep a record of all purchases of gasoline noting dates, price, amount, cost and odometer reading. Get
receipts or keep a diary in your vehicle. Then transfer each purchase to a data page or in a spreadsheet.
During the last weeks, you fill your tank again and record the data. You will determine:
a. The Total Miles driven; the Total Gallons Used; the Total Cost; and the Total Days of the
Project.
Total Miles Driven: Subtract you initial odometer reading from the your final Odometer Reading
Total gallon Used: Sum all your Gallons Purchased, except do not include the gallons recorded
in your initial fill-up (Why?)
Total Cost: Sum all your dollars spent during the project, except the initial fill-up. (Why?)
b. Then you will compute the average MPG and the average cost per mile for the gasoline.
MPG = Total Miles Driven divided by Total Gallons Used
Average Cost Per Mile = Total Dollars Spent divided by Total Mile Driven
c. You will also calculate your average daily mileage and average daily gallons of gasoline used:
Average daily Miles = Total Miles Driven divided by Total Days of the Project
Average Daily Gallons Used = Total Gallon Used divided by Total Days of the Project
d.
How many times did you exceed 75 miles in one day?
(You may not be able to answer this, but statistics say that the average U.S. driver averages 29
miles per day and this can be skewed if you took a long trip during the project to see if you are
average)
e. What is your annual mileage:
Annual Mileage = your daily average miles driven calculated above multiplied by 365 days
f.
your projected annual need for gasoline:
Annual Gasoline Demand: Your average Gallons Used multiplied by 365 days
g. What will be annual cost at $2.00 per gallon; $3.00 per gallon; $3.50 per gallon; $4.00 per gallon;
$4.50 per gallon; and $5.00 per gallon.
Annual Cost @ $2.00/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $2.00/gallon
Annual Cost @ $3.00/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $3.00/gallon
Annual Cost @ $3.50/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $3.50/gallon
Annual Cost @ $4.00/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $4.00/gallon
Annual Cost @ $4.50/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $4.50/gallon
Annual Cost @ $5.00/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $5.00/gallon
h. Total Pounds of Carbon Dioxide released into the atmosphere by you every year.
Total Annual CO2 Released = Total Annual Gallons Used multiplied by 19 pounds/gallon
i. The instructor may add additional data for you to determine to complete this project.
These calculations should be done in a spreadsheet or typed in table format, but the spreadsheet
may either be hand drawn on your data page or done on the computer. You may also keep your
data in your lab notebook.
You need to only fill the tank twice, at the beginning and at the end of the project. You will not
use the first fill-up in your calculations, except odometer reading. Why?
If you do not drive or own a vehicle and can not get cooperation from your family, the instructor
will assigned an alternate energy demand project or you may earn 30-40 total points using the
data of your instructor’s car.
Project/Paper: Alternative to Gasoline (Chapter 18 and 19)
Watch the movie:

Tagline: In 1996, electric cars began to appear on roads all
over California. They were quiet and fast, produced no exhaust
and ran without gasoline...........Ten years later, these cars
were destroyed.

Plot Outline A documentary that investigates the birth and
death of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable
energy and sustainable living in the future.
Plot Synopsis: With gasoline prices approaching $4/gallon, fossil
fuel shortages, unrest in oil producing regions around the globe
and mainstream consumer adoption and adoption of the hybrid
electric car (more than 140,000 Prius' sold this year), this story
couldn't be more relevant or important.

The foremost goal in making this movie is to educate and enlighten audiences with the story of this
car, its place in history and in the larger story of our car culture and how it enables our continuing
addiction to foreign oil. This is an important film with an important message that not only calls to task the
officials who squelched the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, but all of the other accomplices, government,
the car companies, Big Oil, even Eco-darling Hydrogen as well as consumers, who turned their backs on
the car and embrace embracing instead the SUV. Our documentary investigates the death and
resurrection of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in our
country's future; issues which affect everyone from progressive liberals to the neo-conservative right.
Then the student should watch the 2010 sequel to the above:
Revenge of the Electric car: go to:
http://www.revengeoftheelectriccar.com/
http://www.revengeoftheelectriccar.com/see-the-film.html
Revenge of the Electric Car presents the recent resurgence of
electric vehicles as seen through the eyes of four pioneers of
the EV revolution. Director Chris Paine (Who Killed the Electric
Car? 2006) has had unprecedented access to the electric car
research and development programs at General Motors,
Nissan, and Tesla Motors, while also following a part time
electric car converter who refuses to wait for the international
car makers to create the electric cars the public demands.
As more models of electric cars than ever before start to arrive in showrooms and driveways across
the world, Chris Paine's film offers an inspiring, entertaining and definitive account of this
revolutionary moment in human transportation. Revenge of the Electric Car follows these auto
makers as they race each other to create the first, best, and most publicly accepted electric cars for
the new car market.Written by Michelle Kaffko
Assignment: Watch the video, then research electric cars (use concepts from Chapter 19 to
explain the fundamentals of fuel cells and batteries). Compare the current Nissan LEAF, Ford Focus
EV, CODA, Mitsubishi i-MiEV , Tesla Model S , Wheego LiFe, and the Volt. Look at the specs for the
future cars: THINK City, Honda Fit EV, Scion iQ EV , Toyota RAV4 EV , Volkswagen E-Up! And
Volkswagen E-Golf .
Go to local dealers and do a test drive (extra 30 points) on the VOLT and LEAF which are available
in Jacksonville. Research the new electric vehicles which will be available in 2013 and 2014.
Explain the Federal Tax Credit for these vehicles.
Write a paper (4 to 6 pages) about the movies, highlighting the points which had the greatest
impact on you. In the final minutes of the first film, the documentary uses a guilty/not guilty
analogy for each of the major points in the film. Include these with at least one sentence
describing this category of evidence present. Do research on the current hybrid automobile,
pros and cons. Is the HYBRID a long term solution? Is there a next step toward gasoline
independence, and conclude with suggestions which might solve our personal transportation
problem. Please inject you personal comments and opinions but label them so. What is a plug-in
hybrid? Describe the current hydrogen car initiative.
In your paper, use a few paragraphs to explain FLEX Fuel (pros/cons) and HHO projects to increase gas mileage.
What are the CAFÉ standards. What si the current CAFE What will happen to them from 2012 to 2016. For 2025
what is the mileage standard agreed by the auto makers.
Hopefully from your Gasoline Project, and the projections for $4, $5, and $6 per gallon prices, what will you
personally do to cope with so much of your income going to get you from one place to another in Jacksonville
area.
Nuclear Chemistry Paper/Project Chapter 20
There will be no exam on Chapter 20. The student will study chapter 20 to understand Nuclear
Chemistry. The student will write a four to six paper in conjunction with chapter 20 on Nuclear
Chemistry demonstrating knowledge of Chapter 20.
To start watch the movie and take notes:
Watch the 1979 movie:
China Syndrome (1979)
Starring: Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon Director: James Bridges Rating
Plot Synopsis: While doing a series of reports on alternative energy sources, an
opportunistic reporter Kimberly Wells witnesses an accident at a nuclear power
plant. Wells is determined to publicize the incident but soon finds herself
entangled in a sinister conspiracy to keep the full impact of the incident a secret.
Explain how an nuclear power plant (or nuclear Navy ship) works. Compare the dates of the
release of this movie in 1979 and what happen at Three Mile Island. How many nuclear power
plants are operating in the U.S. and what is the percentage of electricity produced from nuclear
versus fossil fuel.
Several additional questions should be answered:
a. What is the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion? Write balanced nuclear equations to explain.
b. Can a nuclear fission power plant explode like an atomic bomb? If not, then what is the environmental danger
from an accident. Review: Three Mile Island accident in the U.S, Chernobyl Catastrophe in Russia, and last
year’s Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. Use the Internet and research the three accidents and include a
paragraph or two on each in your paper explaining what happened n the first two, then assemble at least a page
about Japan’s accident..
c. What are the environmental problems caused by a nuclear power plant. If you saw the film “Category 6” what
happened when they crank up the power plants beyond the federal limits of production
d. What is Helium 3? Where is a supply located? How can it be used for electricity production?.
