Chemistry 103 and 104, providing a general survey of chemical principles and facts, are prerequisites for advanced courses such as Organic Chemistry (341 or 343) and Analytical Chemistry (327 or 329). The prerequisite for Chemistry 104 is Chemistry 103, and it is assumed that you took this course last semester. If your situation is different you may need to put in extra effort, at the beginning of the semester, to gain the necessary background. REQUIRED MATERIALS Textbook: Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity, 7th edition by Kotz and Treichel; available at local bookstores Lab Book: Laboratory Experiments for Chemistry 104, Spring 2011, Department of Chemistry, UW- Madison, sold (for cash only!) in Chemistry Building by Alpha Chi Sigma (during the first two weeks of class). Lab Notebook: 100 page carbonless lab notebook available at local bookstores and in the Chemistry Building Safety Goggles: Industrial quality eye protection is required at all times when you are in the lab. Safety goggles that fit over regular glasses can be purchased at local bookstores. Contact lenses should not be worn in the laboratory because fumes or splashes may be caught between them and your eye. Safety rules are posted on your laboratory door. Calculator: An inexpensive calculator having capabilities for square roots, logarithms and exponentiation (antilogarithms), and exponential (scientific) notation operations is required. The graphing calculators may be used on homework assignments, quizzes, and in the lab, but will not be permitted during exams. KEEP THIS SYLLABUS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE2 LECTURE AND DISCUSSION Lecture. Lectures organize the material, outline goals, cover the basic principles of each topic and present illustrations and demonstrations. The lecture is not intended to describe or explain everything you will learn in the course; rather, it will indicate important topics to study and will give you an opportunity to think about these topics and see if you understand them. You should take notes during lecture that reflect your understanding of what you heard and saw. My lecture notes will be posted online at the course homepage after each lecture. Demonstrations. The UW-Madison Chemistry Department has a longstanding tradition of using lecture demonstrations to help students understand chemistry. When a demonstration is done in class, observe what happens and make certain that you understand the principles the demonstration is designed to illustrate. If you do not, ask questions, either in lecture or in your discussion section. All demonstrations are important and questions about demonstrations may appear on exams. Friday Reviews. The Friday lectures will be largely devoted to reviewing recent lecture material and present further examples. Questions and discussion will be encouraged. No new material will be presented on Fridays by default, and you will be alerted during the preceding lecture if anything new will be covered during a Friday session. Think of the Friday sessions as a multi-person ‘office hours’. On the first Friday of the semester (January 21) I will review structure and bonding covered in Chemistry 103. Discussion Section. A discussion and laboratory section is a group of about 22 students supervised by a teaching assistant. Discussion sections are for discussion, review, problem solving relevant to recent lectures, preparation and review of laboratory experiments, and, finally, quizzes. Be prepared when you come to the discussion class. You should work out the homework problems for a given week, and you should expect to be called upon by your TA to discuss solutions to these problems. Ask specific questions of your TA and of other students. Make sure you understand the questions asked and the answers given. If you don’t understand and ask for a further explanation. Do not expect your TA to lecture, but rather to lead discussion and encourage interaction among all students present. Weekly Quizzes. Quizzes will be given during the second discussion section each week, excluding exam weeks. The quizzes will be worth 10 points each. 5 of those points will be awarded for participation in the quiz (and thus attendance at the discussion section); the remaining 5 points will be based on your performance on the quiz. In all there will be eleven quizzes, and the best ten will count toward your final grade. Global Energy Problem Set. After the second midterm exam this semester, I will give you a problem set that will allow you to explore issues related to what I view as the biggest scientific challenge facing humanity: global energy and global warming. You will have the opportunity to learn some of the problems and proposed solutions associated with this problem, and I will give you a chance to reflect on what you can do about it. This problem set will be worth 50 points toward your final grade. Homework Problems. (See course outline at end of the syllabus.) There are assigned problems most weeks of the course. These are to be turned in to your TA at a time that will be announced. By turning in 10 homework assignments you will earn 80 points toward your final grade.3 LABORATORY Before the Laboratory Period.
