No Audits allowed. Course Description These courses reinforce the concepts of Freshman Chemistry in the lab via experiments. Students are offered the opportunity to acquire basic laboratory skills and an appreciation for the presence of chemistry in daily living. The experiments are designed to demonstrate concepts including properties of inorganic substances, principles of structure and bonding, and elementary quantitative analysis. Expected Leaning Outcomes Students should be able to: 1. Be able to explain the importance of Lab Safety 2. Be able to collect and organize data in written laboratory reports 3. Know how to measure mass and volume of chemicals 4. Know how to separate a mixture 5. Learn the technique of titration Required Texts & Materials Laboratory Manual for General Chemistry laboratory I (CHEM 1111) ISBN: 9781121288386 • Z-87 rated Safety Glasses or Goggles • A Composition Notebook and a Calculator2 Supplemental Texts, Readings, & Materials • Students are financially responsible for items checked out of the stockroom • Other course materials may be recommended or required • Tutors: See the Chem. Dept. AA (BE 2.312) for an updated list of tutors • Interactive DVD-ROMs covering general chemistry are available via the CSA Class Attendance It is typical for the enrollments of all CHEM 1111 sections to be at a maximum (set by the Fire Marshall’s regulations for the SLC laboratories). If you are enrolled in one Section, you can not attend another Section. It is typical for the laboratory activities to utilize the entire 180 minutes of class time such that one can not simultaneously enroll in other classes whose meeting days and times conflict with those of CHEM 1112. No cell phones or computers are allowed in the chemistry laboratories. If you need to make an emergency phone call, please step outside. Make-Up Labs There are no make-up lab dates for any experiments! Penalty Points Points can be deducted from your final grade to each experiment for any of the following reasons: • Lack of participation in the workshop and/or the laboratory (absent* or inattentive) 5 – 50 points • Late lab report 10 points per day late • Safety violations (see posted notes for details) 5 – 50 points • Illegible handwriting or computer generated work (unless otherwise arranged) 5 – 10 points • Calculations that are not complete or cannot be followed 5 – 15 points • Misuse of laboratory time (e.g. using cell phone) 5 – 10 points • Failure to clean up equipment, glassware, working area, community equipment (e.g. balance) 5 – 10 points • After a 15 minute grace period, students will not be allowed to attend the workshop and/or the lab. Workshops Students will work in groups during the first 45 min of the lab period. Workshops are open discussions designed to help you understand the concepts and techniques involved in each experiment. The goal here is to make the lab experience more enjoyable by assisting students reach a basic, overall understanding of the experiment and the science. It is advised to read and gain an initial understanding the lab prior to the lab period in order to be better prepared for both the Workshops and the Experiments. Student work in the workshop will be collected at the end of the workshop period. Workshops count for 10% of the course grade.3 Teaching Assistants and Lab Sections Day/Time Section Teaching Assistant E-mail 101 Dr. Q Melissa Love [email protected] M 1.00 PM 102 Dr. Z Imalka Munaweera [email protected] 103 Dr. G Melissa Love [email protected] M 4.00 PM 104 Dr. T Imlaka Munaweera [email protected] M 7.00 PM 602 Dr. T Elizabeth Braun [email protected] T 7.00 AM 126 Dr. S Shirangi Fernando [email protected] 105 Dr. G Shirangi Fernando [email protected] T 10.00 AM 106 Dr. Go Sajani Basnayake [email protected] T 1.00 PM 107 Dr. Go Elizabeth Braun [email protected] T 4.00 PM 108 Dr. Q Sajani Basnayake [email protected] 109 Dr. Z Rodrigo Vinluan [email protected] W 1.00 PM 110 Dr. N Elizabeth Braun [email protected] 111 Dr. G Suchithra Senevirathne [email protected] W 4.00 PM 112 Dr. N Rodrigo Vinluan [email protected] 603 Dr. G Suchitra Senevirathne [email protected] W 7.00 PM 604 Dr. N Imalka Munaweera [email protected] R 7.00 AM 127 Dr. S Shirangi Fernando [email protected] 113 Dr. Go David Bushdiecker [email protected] R 10.00 AM 114 Dr. G Sajani Basnayake [email protected] 115 Dr. G Xiaojing Wang [email protected] R 1.00 PM 116 Dr. Q Sasha Sun [email protected] 117 Dr. Go David Bushdiecker [email protected] R 4.00 PM 118 Dr. Q Sajani Basnayake [email protected] 605 Dr. Go Xiaofeng Song [email protected] R 7.00 PM R 7.00 PM 606 Dr. Q Sasha Sun [email protected] F 1.00 PM 119 Dr. G Melissa Love [email protected] F 1.00 PM 120 Dr. Go Xiaofeng Song [email protected] F 4.00 PM 121 Dr. Q Sasha Sun [email protected] 122 Dr. Go Xiaojing Wang [email protected] S 9.00 AM 123 Dr. S Xiaofeng Song [email protected] S 12.00 PM 124 Dr. S Suchitra Senevirathne [email protected] S 3.00 PM 125 Dr. S Rodrigo Vinluan
