• Do not forget PS1 is due at the beginning of class!
  • I have got Wednesday, August 28th lecture digitized and up. Check the QuickTime/Real link. I'll be adding the remaining lectures listed over the break.
  • In PS1.3 if you go to the CRC or the Merck Index to find the solubility of carbon tetrachloride you may need to look under methane, tetrachloro to find it. Hexane should be under hexane, just watch out that you have hexane and not hexane with some other elements. Ethyl alcohol is also called ethanol or hydroxyethane.
  • Problem Set #2 is now available at the Problem Set link.
  • One of the students in CHEM 1314 has an HP48GX with the Chemistry card and is interested in meeting any other students with this type of calculator. Contact Dr. G. if you are interested.
  • The tutoring schedule is now available at the Tutoring link. The TA's in red are CHEM 1314 TA's.
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • Attention students in 1:30 pm lecture with laboratory sections 10 - 18. Be sure to print out the laboratory for next week's laboratory. Students in the 3:30 pm lecture with laboratories 19 - 27 will check-in and do InClass Exercise #2 beginning on Monday, August 28th.
  • Be sure to bring your textbook and a calculator to laboratory this week!
  • 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.

    ----Previous Announcements----

  • 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.
