• I've started lecture notes for the week of March 7, 2000. Check them out at the Lecture Notes link.
  • This week's is LONG. Dattatri was just in my office to say that it will take a while to wash test tubes after each experiment. No InClass PRoblem set this week!
  • If you did not get a copy of Problem Set #10 it is available at the Problem Set link.
  • This week's laboratory is Experiment #9: Observations of Chemical Reactions. This is perfect timing for what we began talking about on Friday, March 3, 2000...ionic and net ionic equations. This week in laboraory you will do double replacement reactions of ionic compounds and the neutralizations reactions between acids and bases. You will write molecular, onic and net ionic equations. You must know this stuff for exam III! One of the students working with me this semester has completed a procedure for this experiment. Find it at the Laboratory link.

  • Check out the WebCam I set-up in my office.
  • Check out the reaction between sodium and chlorine. I'd like your comments and any questions you might have. If anyone comes up with some good suggestions and/or questions and if the publisher pays me anything I'll treat the class to something special.
  • CIS says if Quicktime is not on the computer you are using to view a file containing a movie that you can go to the Apple Web Site and download the quicktime player. Here is the QuickTime download web site link...
  • Anyone having problems viewing the QuickTime Movies? Let me know. I checked the Library and could not view the movies. I've talked to the technology people about placing QuickTime for Windows on the systems in the Library. I'll know in a day or if that is going to be done.
  • On Friday, February 11, 2000 Nicole Cosmann received the Oklahoma Association for Environmental Education Outstanding College Student Award for work she has done for the environment. Thanks Nicole, and congratulations!
  • The grades link now includes scores of three problem sets, two laboratory experiments and one exam.
  • Laboratory this week is Hard Water and Water Softening. This experiment was passed out in class on Friday because it is not in your Laboratory Manual. Please see Dr. G. before your laboratory if you did not get a copy.
  • If you do not know the answer to any of the self-test questions an acceptable response is 'I do not know' (IDK).
  • PLEASE! I will not accept any late problem sets. If your PS is not turned in at the beginning of class it is late! If you turn your PS into the Chemistry Office it is late and you will receive a 0 for that problem set. It is a fairness issue. If everyone turns in the PS on time I can not allow other students extra time to complete their PS. If it is late you have taken extra time. If anyone has any problem with this policy please e-mail me.
  • If you can not make class (for whatever reason) when a Problem Set is due I will accept it if you mail it and the postmark is the day the problem set is due or earlier. You are also welcome to FAX (405-744-6007), but that can be expensive.
  • Need a periodic table? Check the Database link. I recommend the WebElements Periodic Table.
  • The Chemistry Department offers free tutoring in PS023. For a tentative schedule go to the Free Tutoring link. The tutoring will begin Monday, January 17, 2000. Names in red are our TA's and they will know more about what is happening in our class. TA names in blue have taught 1215 with me before.
  • Welcome to CHEM 1215. 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. There are some additional questions that I would like you to answer for some EXTRA CREDIT.
  • Our teaching assistants this semester are James Greuel (401, 403 and 405), Dattatri Negesha (402, 404 and 406), and Joe Studer (407, 408 and 409).
