Exam I:
Chapter 10 Sections 1, 3 and 4: You must be able to draw and interpret Lewis
structures; you must be able to predict molecular and electron-pair geometries
of 'simple' molecules, determine bond angles and numbers of bonding and nonbonding
electrons; and you must be able to predict the polarity of 'simple' molecules.
Chapter 11 Section 1 and 2: Valence bond theory and hybrid orbitals, sigma
and pi-bonds, delocalization of electrons, and resonance structures.
Chapter 12 Sections 1 - 5: kinetic-molecular view of matter (particulate
view of matter), phases and phase changes, cooling/heating curves, vapor pressure
and the Clausius-Clapyron equation, types of intermolecular attractive forces,
properties of liquid state and water.
Problem Sets 1, 2 and 3. Lecture notes for Wednesday, January 17 - Monday,
February 5 (possibly some information from lecture on Wednesday, February
7). Help Sessions on Monday, January 22nd, Monday January 27th and Monday
(or Tuesday) the week of the exam.
Exam II
Chapter 12 Section 3 - 6: You need to review all the intermolecular attractive
forces again and look over the properties of water and what is unique about
water. Section 6 covers all the solid state stuff. Be usre to be able to use
the handout(s) provided during our discussion of this section. One of the
handouts is on the useful information page of exam I.
Chapter 13: sections 1 - 5: Section 1 discuss solution formation and you
need to review the coverage of intermolecular attractive forces covered in
chapter 12. Sections 2 - 5 cover the formation of solutions, concentrations
of solutions and colligative properties. Check out the discussion of electroytes
on p. 512.
Chapter 15: sections 1, 2 and 4: In section 2 we did not cover optical isomerism
or chiral molecules. In section 3 about all you need to know are combustion
reactions. In section 4 you need to be familiar with the functional groups
we covered in Survival Organic Chemistry.
Exam III
Chapter 16: Sections 1 - 8: Section 1 discusses qualitatively the basic
factors that influence a reaction rate, section 2 defines the different types
of rates, and section 3 discusses the initial rate method for determining
a rate law expression. Section 4 introduces the integrated rate law for simple
reactions and how we can determine the order for a simple reaction by plotting
techniques. Section 5 covers the Arrhenius equation and section 6 discusses
collision theory and the reaction diagram for a reaction. Section 7 defines
mechanisms and discusses several different examples. On page 696 the author
introduces a mechanism with a fast, pre-equilibrium step as the first step
in the mechanism. We did not take time to discuss this mechanism so do not
worry about it. Finally the last section discusses catalysis. I'm most interested
that you understand how a catalysis effects the rate of a reaction and how
the reaction diagram changes. Check out the additional problems at the end
of this chapter listed at the Problem Set link.
Chapter 17: Sections 1 - 6: Section 1 introduces the concept of an equilibrium
constant, just as we did in class with the animation. Section 2 covers the
idea of the non-equilibrium reaction quotient and its relationship to the
equilibrium constant. Several of the characteristic properties of Q and K
are covered in this chapter. Section 3 relates Kc to Kp.
Section 5 discusses how we compare Q to K to predict the direction of a chemical
reaction. Section 5 introduces the quantitative aspects of how to calculate
K and to calculate concentrations at equilibrium. The last section introduces
le Chatelier's principle and the van't Hoff equation. Check out the additional
problems at the end of this chapter listed at the Problem Set link.
Sample Examinations
Exam I
Exam I CHEM 1515 SP98. You are not responsible
for problems 5, 6 7 or 9.
Exam II
Exam III
Comment: You'll notice that in SP98 Chapter 16 and 17 were covered with
most of the material in Chapter 15. This semester because I'M BEHIND we are
covering the material on one exam. The sample exams only have three questions
over the material we will cover on a whole exam. So we will have more questions
over this material. Review Problem sets 7 - 10 cover this material and I strongly
recommend you review those PS's and UNDERSTAND the questions.
Exam III SP98. You are responsible for only
Problem 7 on this exam.
Here are our blank three exams for this semester. (Answers will be posted
soon.)
