  • PS12 is available.
  • Several TAs have updated their grades, so I've posted new ones.
  • Here are lecture notes for Monday, October 23rd through Friday, October 27th. These lecture notes cover all the material on PS11.

  • Here are some clips that may be useful for PS11.
  • Here is a sample problem similar to PS11.2 that we did in lecture on Friday, October 27, 2000.

    Here is a sample problem similar to PS11.3 that we did in the Help Session on Monday, October 30, 2000.

    Here are some comments about PS11.4 and 11.5 from lecture on Wednesday, October 25, 2000.

    Here is the fourth sample problem using Hess' Law (PS11.4 and PS11.5) that we did in the Help Session on Monday, October 30, 2000. This one is a little more challenging.

    Here is a sample problem using the approach recommended for PS11.6 we discussed on Wednesday, October 25, 2000.

    Here is a second sample problem using the approach recommended for PS11.6 we discussed on Friday, October 27, 2000.

    Here is a sample problem like PS11.9 we discussed the in the Help Session on Monday, October 30, 2000.

  • Check out what's up in laboratory this week.
  • PS11 is available at the Problem Set link.
  • If anyone would like to talk to me about their grade on the exam or in the course you are welcome to drop by and we can talk. Call ahead or check the Webcam to be sure I'm in the office.

  • We have a winner. Douglas Haynes from the 3:30 pm section is the new Pistol Pete Pizza Champion Pizza Competitor Winner. Based on his time in three challenging events Douglas beat out a large super size group of challengers to end up as the BIG KaHoona. Douglas won a new television (lets all go to Douglas' to what the World Series...who'll bring the pizza?) plus a very cool medal. We'll try to get some video and possibly an on camera interview of the world champion...possibly even showing how he prepared for the grueling events.The exam average 67. FANTASTIC! I was shooting for a 65! The highest exam in each section is a 97. OUTSTANDING! Come to class on Friday and see all the swag the student with the highest grade receives!
  • Here is video announcing the high score for exam 2 in the 1:30 pm section and the 3:30 pm section.
  • If you are using a 56K modem to connect to our Web Site here is a digital lecture from September 18, 2000 which I have compressed for play at that speed. Check it out and let me know what you think.
  • I've added some sample Real audio files of some sample stoichiometry and sample limiting reagent problems at the Real Audio/Video link. You must have the Real Player (different from the QuickTime Player) to view/listen to these files. Check it out.
  • I've listed the room each section will take their exams this semester at the Exams link. Check it out. If you arrive late to the exam because you get lost and can not find the correct room I am under no oligation to give you the same amount of time to do the exam as those students who arrived on time. (Not that this will be a problem!)
  • Some new stuff to memorize
  • Tables 2.3 (p 67), 2.4 (p 69), 2.5 (p 69) and 2.7 (p 73). I'll give you some tricks to make Tables 2.3 and 2.4 real easy to remember, but Table 2.5 and 2.7 have to be memorized. I promise the first exam will have some nomenclature questions.

  • Here is an example of just one of the talents of Robert Sleezer, one of our CHEM 1314 student. If you have a skill that needs to be shared with the world on video, see dr. g.
  • I just had a talk with the Director of the General Chemistry Laboratories and it was agreed that ALL students must wear eye protection in the laboratories. So all students, including HBL, must get eye protection.
  • The tutoring schedule is now available at the Tutoring link. The TA's in red are CHEM 1314 TA's.
  • I've got an initial version of a digital lecture on Wednesday, August 23rd on the QuickTime/Real Lectures link so check it out. Send me an email and let me know what happens or if you have any problems. Welcome to the future!
  • I've listed some recommended problems from Chapters 1 and 2. The list can be found in the Problem Set link at the bottom of the page.
  • If you would like to practice and test your knowledge on significant figures here is some software which will randomly generate questions. There are more of these types of randomly generated questions at our Problem Set link. Just scroll down the page a little to get to the link.
  • In order to post grade information (scores on problem sets, laboratory's and exams) I need your permission. Go the SID#/Name link and enter a number, name or combination unique to you. I will post grade information using your SID# or SIDName. You do not HAVE to have an SID#/Name if you do not want to. There are some additional questions that I would like you to answer for some EXTRA CREDIT.
  • One of the more popular periodic tables on the web is at http://www.shef.ac.uk/~chem/web-elements/. Check out if you need to find some physical properties for any particular elements.
  • Start memorizing..avoid the rush!
  • Things to memorize;

    names and symbols of the first 20 elements and 20 common elements;
    the formula and phase of all of the elements in the periodic table;
    the common prefixes for SI units;
    .

  • Need some extra money? Love computers and like to do Web stuff? Anyone looking for some parttime work writing HTML for a campus project? Check with Dr. G or see Steve Hall in LSE208. You will need to have a resume describing your work/computer experience.
  • I've generated a short Self-Test which has a few questions to provide me with some feedback as to how much you might recall from your past chemistry experience. The Self-Test has six questions. It is not graded, I'd just like to get some information prior to Wednesday's class. Give it a try, see what you can remember. Go to the Self-Test link in the left frame.
