Did someone leave their jacket in the exam room last night?

If you have not received your SIC# you may get it by seeing your TA, me, or e-mailing me.

You did great on the exam. We had the highest average all year. It was a 66! WAY TO GO! Two students tied for the highest grade! Hey...turned out there was 101 points possible on the exam!

Remember PS3 is due at the beginning of class on Friday, February 5, 1999.

On PS3.3 the units on the number 28 are funky. The units should read lb^.in^-2 (pounds per square inch). Please make that correction.

Some of you have asked what is important on the Review Problem Set. I would suggest that you review RPS1 and RPS2, and RPS 8 - 10. The last few problems are from Chapter 12, so definitely fair game. And eveyone knows how much I like chemical reactions!

The Useful Information pages are now available at the Exams link.

I had instructed the teaching assistants to return the graded Experiment #1 to you this week in laboratory so you would be able to study it before the examination. If you did not receive your graded Exp #1 I have copies of the post-laboratory questions which you may pick-up in my office. Drop by and get one. If you have any questions see me.

Check out the movies in the Chapter 13 Lecture notes.

We decided to postpone the due date for PS3 to Friday, Febrauary 5, 1999 at the beginning of class. We need to discuss Charles' and Avogadro's Law in class on Wednesday. All of the problems on PS3 must be done BEFORE Exam #1 because the material will be covered on the exam.

Check out the sample questions for our first exam.

Exam #1, Thursday, February 4, 1999 at 5:30 p.m. in PS141.

Look at the suggested problems in Chapter 12 and 13 at the Problem Set link. BTW the answers to PS2 are available.

Be sure to read the laboratory for this week BEFORE coming to laboratory. The TA's have expressed some concern about whether students are reading the laboratory before lab. Remember the TA can administer a pre-laboratory quiz to see if you know your stuff!

For predicting the products of chemical reactions (remember this is one of my favorite types of questions) I recommend you review the following notes from CHEM 1215;

Chapter 7 notes

Summarizing chemical equations notes

You may also find some useful information in Chapter 6 notes

Some concern about the the availability of the answers to the PS has been expressed. I've checked the link and everything is working correctly from my computers. If you are having difficulty downloading the answers to the PS contact me. It should work...if it does not there is something the matter with the computer system you are using.

Still plenty of time to enjoy some 'fun', try the Take a Quiz link. I am not grading this so take it to see what you understand from the first two lectures. Make a note of the questions you answered correctly and incorrectly. Drop by my office if you have any questions. Let me know if you like this, we may do it again.

If you had CHEM 1215 with me last semester and you would like your Exam IV and Final Exam, just drop by my office.

Remember CHEM 1225 is a 2nd semester chemistry course. It is assumed that you have had CHEM 1215 or equivalent. If you have questions about your chemistry background drop by my office and we can talk. BTW I have a meeting at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, January 13, and will not be able to hold my office hours at that time.

The first two weeks of laboratory will spend time on a review problem set and Exercise 1, 2 and 3 in the CHEM 1225 Lab Manual. If you have Monday lab...DO NOT MISS IT!!

This semester I've added a new link called 'What's Important'. In this section I will discuss the important concepts in a chapter and try to relate the concepts covered in the chapter. I'll also try to provide some 'reasons' why you might want to learn this material.
