General Course Information

The Course Presentation This is your course presentation. It contains my contact information, required materials, grading information, a tentative schedule for topics to be covered and the cheating and plagiarism policy.
The Lab Schedule When you'll be doing what in the lab, how to find it in the lab manual, and whether or not there's an unknown for analysis.
Useful constants You'll get this from me for the first test.
The formula sheet You'll get this formula sheet from me for the second and third tests as well as the final exam.
Plotting curved-line graphs with Excel How to plot curved-line graphs using Excel. A sample graph is here.

Supplemental Course Material

Math Skills problems These problems are of Claude Lassigne's creation. They are "no calculator"-friendly and encompass all the math skills you'll need for the course.
Empirical Formula problems These problems are of Claude Lassigne's creation. They are "no calculator"-friendly.
Stoichiometry problems These problems are of Paul Kaushal's creation (and my subsequent modification) and cover all the mole concept stuff we do in class, including back-titrations and two-component mixture problems. They were modified by me to be "no calculator"-friendly.
Back-titration problems Here are a half-dozen "no calculator"-friendly back-titration problems of my own creation, presented in order from easiest to hardest.
Gas problems These are problems of Claude Lassigne's creation, and are "no calculator"-friendly.
A tough gas problem Claude Lassigne gave this to his class as a bonus question on the first exam. Have a go and see if you can solve it. It is not "no calculator"-friendly.
Kinetics Problems If you want extra practice with kinetics, here are a few problems you can try. These are "no calculator"-friendly.
Equilibrium Problems Here are a few problems for you to test your understanding of equilibrium. They are "no calculator"-friendly.
More Equilibrium Problems These problems come to you courtesy of Chris Rogers. They have been modified by me to be "no calculator"-friendly.
Solubility product practice problems These problems cover what we did with solubility products. They are "no calculator"-friendly.
More solubility product practice problems Here are some more solubility problems of Claude Lassigne's creation. They are "no calculator"-friendly.
Acid/base practice problems These problems cover most things we did with acids and bases. The next problem set should make up the difference. These problems are "no calculator"-friendly.
More acid/base practice problems These problems are of Claude Lassigne's creation and cover the rest of what we did with acids and bases. These problems are "no calculator"-friendly.
A tough acid-base indicator problem Try this one if you're sure you understand what's going on with indicators and weak acid/strong base titrations. This is not "no-calculator" friendly.
Thermochemistry/thermodynamics practice problems Here are a few sample problems for thermochemistry and thermodynamics. They are "no calculator"-friendly.
Electrochemistry Problems These problems cover everything we did with electrochemistry (and one covers a little more). They are not "no calculator"-friendly.
A comprehensive thermodynamics problem This problem should only be attempted after we've completed electrochemistry, thermodynamics, and equilibrium. It's a tough question that demonstrates the tight integration of these three topics. It is not "no calculator"-friendly.
Liquids, solids, and solutions problems Here are a few "no calculator"-friendly problems to do with liquids, solids, and solutions. They are of Claude Lassigne's creation.

Example First Midterms

Fall 2011 test 1 and solutions Fall 2011 test 1. This test covers stoichiometry and (most of) gases.
Example midterm 1a and solutions Spring 2011 test 1. This test covers stoichiometry and (most of) gases.
Example midterm 1b Fall 2007 test 1. This test covers stoichiometry and gases, and is "no-calculator friendly."

Example Second Midterms

Fall 2011 test 2 and solutions Fall 2011 test 2. This test covers the rest of gases through to the beginning of solubility.
Example midterm 2a and solutions Spring 2011 test 2. This test covers (the rest of) gases, equilibrium, and (most of) acids and bases.
Example midterm 2b Fall 2007 test 2. This test covers kinetics, equilibrium, and solubility, and has one acid/base question. It is "no-calculator friendly."

Example Third Midterms

Fall 2011 test 3 and solutions Fall 2011 test 3. This test covers the rest of solubility, all of acids and bases, and all of thermochemistry.
Example midterm 3a and solutions Spring 2011 test 3. This test covers the last bit of acids and bases, thermochemistry, and thermodynamics.
Example midterm 3b Fall 2007 test 3. This test covers the rest of acids and bases and all of thermochemistry. It is "no-calculator friendly."

Example Final Exams

Fall 2005 and Answers This is the Fall 2005 final exam and the answer key.
