• Here is some new stuff I'm playing with for class. Check it out. To access these files you may need to install the Real player from Real.com. To obtain a free player go to the Real Player Basic site and download it. I believe the last two or three files will work without the Real player installed.

  • Problem Set #12 is available at the Problem Set link. It is due on Tuesday, April 4, 2000 by 5:00 pm in my office.

  • Several students have called my attention to a typo on PS11.1c...I've used the wrong phase for Na2CO3 it should read Na2CO3(aq) NOT Na2CO3(g). Also be careful on PS11.7 - 11.10 with rounding. Some rounding is OK, but be careful. If you round too much you may introduce more error into your calculation. It is always a good idea once you've determined a formula is to check by using that formula to calculate the perrcent composition and compare the percentage given in the problem with percentage you've just calculated.

  • Here is a problem I've been working on for the last two days. Check it out. Send me an e-mail and tell me if you'd like more of these. It is like a self-test, but I do not collect the answers.

  • This week's laboratory is Experiment #11: Reactions of Copper and Its Compounds. In this experiment you are re-cycling copper via a series of chemical reactions. Lots of cool color changes and neat reactions. Student's comments about this laboratory...cool!

  • 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.

  • 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.
