Course Description: CHEM 111 is a continuation of CHEM 110 with emphasis placed on the foundations of analytical, inorganic, and physical chemistry. Topics include kinetics, general and ionic equilibria, acid-base theory, electrochemistry, thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry, coordination chemistry, and descriptive chemistry of selected elements. The laboratory treats aspects of quantitative and qualitative inorganic analysis.

Grades will be posted periodically during the semester using the secret codes from CHEM 110. If you wish to change your code or prefer not to have your grades posted, please notify me in writing. If you did not take CHEM 110 last semester, please submit a secret code (or a request not to have your grades posted) in writing, during the first week of classes.

Exams: There will be three mid-semester exams on the following dates: Friday, February 2; Friday, March 15; and Monday, April 8. Note these dates on your calendar. A missed exam results in a zero for that exam and no make-up exam will be administered. In the case of an excused absence (usually a medical or family emergency which must be documented), a comprehensive make-up exam will be administered at the end of the semester. Please do not assume that I will approve an absence after-the-fact; make every effort to notify me before the absence (call me at home if necessary).

Quizzes: Weekly quizzes will be given each Friday. These quizzes are intended as incentives for you to stay current with the course material since this is a difficult course to "catch-up" in once you fall-behind. The quizzes will also allow you to identify and improve upon any "trouble spots" before you take the exams. There are no make-ups for quizzes, however, the lowest quiz grade will be dropped. "Pop" quizzes on the previous lecture's material may be given at any time during the semester.

Extra Credit: Extra credit points (3) can be earned by attending departmental colloquia (You must stay for the entire colloquium and disruptive behavior will nullify extra credit points). Extra credit points can also be earned by writing a brief research paper on a mutually agreed upon topic (up to 15 points). Other types of extra credit projects may become available during the semester. Extra credit is limited to 30 points. You must receive a passing grade in the course for extra credit to be counted toward your final grade.

Homework: Homework will be assigned at each class period. Although it will not be collected, it will be assumed that you have completed the assigned reading and problems before the next class period.

Recitation: Recitation is your opportunity to have your questions answered in detail and work additional problems. You control what we do in recitation, so bring your questions!

Attendance and Participation: Regular attendance at lecture and recitation sections is expected and repeated, unexcused absences will result in a loss of points from the attendance grade (3 points per absence after the second unexcused absence). Attendance at quizzes, exams, in-class assignments, and laboratory meetings is mandatory. Make-ups will NOT be permitted unless the absence had prior approval by me. In case of an emergency, I can also be reached at my home: 327-2888.

Participation is highly encouraged in lecture and expected in recitation. Do not hesitate to stop me if I am going too quickly or have not explained something to your satisfaction. Regular participation in class will result in an increased attendance and participation grade.

Course Outline: The outline is tentative and subject to change.

You should also be aware that much of the material covered in latter portion of CHEM 111 is an extension or application the concepts covered earlier in the course. CHEM 111, therefore, is a very difficult course to "catch-up" in once you have fallen behind. Make every effort to keep-up with the reading and homework problems. To do reasonably well in this course, you will need to study chemistry everyday. If you have any questions regarding the course material or study techniques, come and talk to me as soon as you can.

Laboratory: In the laboratory portion of the course, you will perform a variety of experiments which will illustrate the concepts discussed in class. It is imperative that you come to the lab fully prepared. Careful planning and preparation before you arrive at the lab will allow you to complete your experiments in an efficient and safe manner.

Lab Safety: Unsafe behavior in the lab will not be tolerated and violations will be penalized. Repeated violations during a class may result in a zero for that lab. Some general rules are outlined below.

Wear safety glasses or goggles in the lab at ALL times.
No shorts, skirts, or open shoes are allowed. No Exceptions.
No food, drink, or gum in the lab.
Know the locations of lab exits, fire extinguishers, and emergency equipment.
Report any accidents or injuries to the instructor or student assistant immediately.
Wearing contact lenses is highly discouraged. If you do wear contact lenses to the lab, be sure to notify the instructor.
Additional safety information will be given at lab check-in. It is your responsibility to know and follow all safety regulations. If you have any questions regarding lab safety, please do not hesitate to ask.
