General Course Information

The Course Presentation 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, whether or not a handout is required, whether or not there's an unknown for analysis, and whether or not the lab to be done is to be handed in at the end of the lab period on which it is done.
The Formula Sheet You'll be given this formula sheet for all your term tests and the final exam.

Supplemental Richmond Campus Lab Material

Creating Graphs with Curved Lines Using Excel You'll have to plot graphs with curved lines a few times this semester. Here's how to do it using Excel. This was written by Doug Bach. An example of the kind of graph you could get by following the instructions is here.
Oxidation-Reduction Analysis The Oxidation-Reduction lab is to be completed and submitted on this handout.
Analysis of a Two-Component System The Two-Component System lab is to be completed and submitted on this handout.
Analysis of Aspirin The Analysis of Aspirin lab is to be completed and handed in on this handout.
Electrochemistry The Electrochemistry lab is to be completed and handed in on this handout.
Equilibrium and Ksp The Equilibrium and Ksp lab is to be completed and handed in on this handout.
pH and Indicators The pH and Indicators lab is to be completed and handed in on this handout.
Oxidation/Reduction The Oxidation/Reduction lab is to be completed and handed in on this handout.
Alternative Solution Calorimetry Procedure We'll be doing the thermochemistry lab as described in this handout. Make sure you have it with you in the lab.
Thermochemistry The Solution Calorimetry lab (using the revised procedure above) is to be completed and handed in on this handout.
Freezing Point Depression The Freezing Point Depression lab is to be completed and handed in on this handout.

Supplemental Course Material

The Surrey Supplement The Surrey Supplement contains additional course notes, worksheets, and problem sets.

My problem sets (designed for calculators)

Kinetics Problems If you want extra practice with kinetics, here are a few problems you can try.
Normality/Redox Problems Try these to brush up on your normality skills.
Equilibrium 1 Here are a few problems for you to test your understanding of equilibrium.
Equilibrium 2 These problems come to you courtesy of Chris Rogers.
Electrochemistry Problems These problems cover everything we did with electrochemistry (and one covers a little more).
Acid/base practice problems These problems cover most things we did with acids and bases. Sample tests should make up the difference.
Solubility product practice problems These problems cover what we did with solubility products and formation constants.
Thermodynamics practice problems Here are a few sample problems for thermodynamics.
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.
Colligative Properties problems Here are a few problems to do with the topics grouped together under the colligative properties heading.

No-calculator friendly problem sets

Math practice Use this problem set to brush up on and check your math skills.
Kinetics 1 Here's the first batch of problems to do with kinetics.
Kinetics 2 Here's the second batch of problems to do with kinetics.
Equilibrium 1 Here are a few problems for you to test your understanding of equilibrium.
Equilibrium 2 These problems come to you courtesy of Chris Rogers. They have been modified by me to be "no calculator"-friendly.
Redox 1 Here's the first batch of problems to do with redox.
Redox 2 Here's the second batch of problems to do with redox.
Electrochemistry These problems cover everything we did with electrochemistry.
Acids and bases 1 Here's the first of three acid/base problem sets.
Acids and bases 2 Here's the second of three acid/base problem sets.
Acids and bases 3 Here's the third of three acid/base problem sets.
Solubility 1 These problems cover what we did with solubility products.
Solubility 2 Here are some more solubility problems of Claude Lassigne's creation.
Thermochemistry/thermodynamics Here's the first of two problem sets dealing with thermochemistry and thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics Here's the second of two problem sets dealing with thermochemistry and thermodynamics. These are more "integrated" problems.
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

Example midterm 1a. Spring 2004 test 1. This test covers kinetics, redox, equilibrium, and normality.
Example midterm 1b. Fall 2008 test 1. This test covers kinetics, redox, and (a little bit of) equilibrium. It is "no calculator"-friendly.

Example Second Midterms

Example midterm 2a Spring 2004 test 2. This test covers electrochemistry, acids and bases, and solubility equilibria.
Example midterm 2b Fall 2008 test 2. This test covers (the rest of) equilibrium, electrochemistry, and (some) acids and bases. It is "no calculator"-friendly.

Example Third Midterms

Example midterm 3a Spring 2004 test 3. This test covers thermochemistry, thermodynamics, phase diagrams, and crystal structures.
Example midterm 3b Fall 2008 test 3. This test covers (the rest of) acids and bases, solubility equilibria, thermochemistry, and (some) thermodynamics. It is "no calculator"-friendly.

Example Midterms From Other Instructors

Steve Hansen's first test and the answer key Steve Hansen gives two term tests in 1210 instead of three. This is the first of the two, with the answers.
Steve Hansen's second test and the answer key This is Steve Hansen's second (of two) term tests and the corresponding answers.

Example Final Exams

Fall 2001 and Answers This is the Fall 2001 final exam and the answer key.
Spring 2002 and Answers This is the Spring 2002 final exam and the answer key.
