• Check out the WebCam I set-up in my office.

  • OK, PS#9 is finally ready (as of 7:15 pm). I'll extend the due date/time for completion of this problem set to Wednesday, March 8, 2000 at 6:00 pm.
    •
  • Problem Set #8 is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, March 8, 2000.
    •
  • I've decided to do the problem set related to Problem #4 and #6 on the Internet. I will post a link to the problem set page today before 5:00 pm. You will have until Tuesday, at midnight to complete the Problem Set (#9). Remember this is a problem set, at the end of the semester I will drop the lowest two to three problem sets.
  • This week's laboratory is Experiment #6: Conductivity. 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 explore the conductivity of aqueous solutions of ionic and some covalent compounds. These observations are very important as they will help you understand ionic and net ionic equations. Do not forget your solubility rules either. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday laboratory sections will receive their exams during discussion. Your TA will go over the key to the exam. If you have ANY questions, return your exam to your TA for re-grading.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
