A Very Brief Random Musings—April 28, 2011 1. You all did extremely well on the last quiz, with an average of over 80% and nearly 200 students getting perfect scores. It looks like things are setting up well for exam 3, though the electrochem and kinetics questions on the exam will be a bit more of a challenge. 2. There is an exam 3 next week with the usual details to follow on Tuesday. One big issue to keep in mind: Technically the make-up exam 3 shouldn't occur during dead days after the last day of class. I try to argue it with the Registrar but they are never pleased. So here I the compromise: Examination should not occur during dead days after the last day of class and can occur only under the most extreme of circumstances. So I can offer the make-up on Sunday night, May 8, only to students with a valid conflict. So you are expected to take it Thursday night May 5 unless you provide evidence, not just that a class is scheduled, but that it is actually meeting that night. 3. The following are true as we get ready for the exam 3: • I will have a practice exam ready on Friday evening or early Saturday morning • The TAs will have a practice exam ready on Sunday. • The exam is calculator free. • My help sessions are in the classrooms • I will have a review session on Monday evening at 9 pm in this room. • Travis will have a review session on Tuesday evening. Specific details will follow. 4. Question types for Exam 3 are repeated below: Question Types for Electrochemistry 1. balancing a chemical reaction in acid or base 2. assigning cell convention in an electrochemical cell 3. understanding the table of standard half cell reduction potentials 4. Nernst equation calculation 5. ranking oxidizing and reducing agents 6. electrolysis 7. stoichiometry calculation using the Faraday 8. current calculation 9. calculation involving relationship between E, K and ΔG 10. famous battery 11. rust in the real world Question Types for Kinetics 12. calculating reaction rates 13. method of initial rates 14. integrated rate law calculation 15. integrated rate law calculation (half life) 16. extracting information from straight line plots 17. kinetic theory—collision 18 kinetic theory—transition state 19. combined Arrhenius calculation 20. reaction mechanisms 21. reaction mechanisms 22. Ea and energy profiles 23. famous catalysts Descriptive Chemistry 24. properties and reactivity of alkali metals 25. properties and reactivity of alkali earths 26. properties and reactivity of the B family 27. properties and reactivity of the N family 28. properties and reactivity of the C family 29 properties and reactivity of the O family 30. properties and reactivity of the halogen family 31. famous named chemical manufacturing processes 32. famous named chemical manufacturing processes 33. identifying famous gemstones Organic Molecules 34. hydrocarbon isomers 35. naming organic molecules 36. naming organic molecules 37. organic polymer structure 38. organic polymer reactions 39. biomolecule structure 40. biomolecule reactions7. Get those extra credits in—there are plenty of scholarly lectures going on right now but they tend to wind down as the semester draws to a close. Please make it a point to earn back the last 3% of your course grade, basically worth a + or a - grade just for getting them in. 8. I will have a massive random musings for the class next Thursday to explain everything about the upcoming exams, finals, grading. Also I will give you a chance to indicate to me whether there is anything I need to know about grades or nonacademic stuff on a form you will return. It is important that you come to know how the course will end. 9. Poetry Corner Part I. I believe that by the time I pass on to the other side, I will have enough poetry written about my course to publish a couple volumes worth. And if everyone who ever took this course bought a copy, we’re talking New York Times Best Seller. Here is some love and some hate poetry about CH302, and a poem about struggle.:Pronounced Dead as of May 13th 2008 As the death of finals creeps over me I sit and wonder how this can be Why did I not try a LITTLE harder to exempt Study a LITTLE bit more, the pain would have been temp. But now, I must suffer through this chemistry smog It’s hurting my brain; I need a catalytic converter to clear the fog And I’m regretting all of those stupid decisions Because now I have no choice but to learn about molecular collisions And rates, and methods of reactions galore Good thing Ochem isn’t as hardcore What keeps me going is after this test I will be free once again To live my life, go out and have some fun with my friends! I’ll say goodbye; RIP general chemistry 302…. Until the MCAT where I will meet the ghost of you. --Anonymous Dr. Laude, please fail me. Oh my, can you believe it? The semester’s end is near. The thought of no more CH 302, makes me shed a big tear. Nay, not one tear, but many you see, Because life without Laude and Co. is like Moses without the sea. We started with struggling with quantum numbers last Fall Oh how I’ll miss the laser pointing to the chart on the wall. From the wet T-shirt contests using nothing but acid To the osmotic pressure that makes fish opposite of flaccid I enjoy every part, everything that you say Even when you took my $100 calculator away. Every time I remember our days are nearly through My heart splits in half, as if it has a Van’t Hoff factor of 2. The same goes for your TAs, who put Einstein to shame Especially that Travis although his beard was rarely tamed. So, yes. You can say that I am fond of you But please don’t confuse me with that one girl...Lulu. You see there is nothing that I would love more, Than instead of taking 2 semesters of Chem., to take 4. So now, Dr. Laude, I humbly request To please take my A and make it an F. !!!!!It’s!bitter!cold!here !in !th e !d a rk !all!a lo n e!I!miss!you!every!minute!of!every!day.!!How!can!this!be?!!Can’t!seem!to!get!away!from!this!empty!feeling.!Dragging!on!Day!in!and!Day!out.!Nobody!knows,!nobody!wants!to!know!Would!they!understand!the!pain,!the!tears,!the!questions?!Can!they!accept!the!past?!!Will!future!he!accept!me?!Forever!on!this!path.!Desolate!and!hard!and!full!of!mistakes.!Cracked!and!dry!with!no!life!for!miles!to!come.!Just!dirt.!!Is!forgiveness!any w h e r e!t o !b e!f o u n d
