Prerequisite: 

CHME 103 (min. of C-, very important)

 

 

Textbook:

General Chemistry: Principles and Modern Applications by  Petrucci, Harwood and Herring (8th Ed.) and Solutions Manual

 

Laboratory: 

Laboratories begin the week of Jan 13. All students must register and be prepared to do Expt. M during the first lab period. The laboratory component is compulsory for credit in CHME 105. Attendance is mandatory and no make-up labs are available. If a laboratory period is missed for a valid reason, this experiment will not be counted towards the final mark. In all other cases, a mark of zero will be assigned.  Students who miss more than one lab will not receive credit for the laboratory component.  Laboratory work accounts for 20% of the final grade in CHME 105.

 

 

Laboratory Web Page:

 

http://www.artsci.gmcc.ab.ca/courses/chem/chem102.htm

 

 

Laboratory Manual:

Introductory University Chemistry Laboratory Manual (Chemistry 105 2003 Ed.)is required as the laboratory textbook. Safety glasses and a laboratory coat must be worn in the laboratory at all times!  (both are available in GMCC bookstore) Students showing up to the laboratory without glasses and/or a laboratory coat will be required to rent these items from the chemical technicians.

 

 

             NOTE:

If a student drops the lecture before March 21, 2003, no credit will be given for the laboratory component. Students must pass the laboratory component (minimum 50%) in order to pass the course. The maximum mark that can be obtained by students who do not pass the laboratory component of the course is D+.(Please inform the instructor and the registrar if you have officially dropped the course)

 

 

            Course Description:

This course incorporates study of thermodynamics, electrochemistry, rates of reactions and bonding as they pertain to inorganic chemistry.  Emphasis on how these and topics previously covered in CHME 103 relate to chemistry of elements in the periodic table will be discussed.

 

 

 

 

Objectives:          

We will try to achieve the following during this course:

 

- learn and understand basic concepts of chemistry

 

- learn how to solve chemical problems independently

 

- learn how to safely handle of a wide variety of compounds, some of which are potentially

  hazardous if used incorrectly.

 

 

Lectures:            

New material will be presented during lectures. The textbook is used primarily as a reference for students and the lectures do not necessarily follow the same sequence of topics as the text and/or treat topics with the same emphasis as the text. The content of the course is divided into a series of reasonably clear cut topics, each making up a MODULE

 

 

Grading:

Examination papers will be marked for content and accuracy. The student is responsible for the material missed. If a student has an unexcused absence from the examination the score assigned will be zero. However, in case of illness or other extreme circumstances, the student may be excused from writing the examination. All exemption applications must include a medical note (see below).  or the instructor has to be made aware of the nature of absence and the surrounding circumstances. In those rare cases where an exemption is actually granted, the weight allotted to the missed examination will be added to the weight allotted to the final examination. Make up term examinations will not be made available to students.

 

 

Medical Notes:

The Science Department requires that medical notes from Doctors must include the following:

 

*the date you were examined

*specific dates for the period of the illness

*the nature and severity of the illness

 

*doctor’s signature (signatures of office staff on behalf of the Doctor are not  acceptable)

 

 

At the end of the term all excuses for missed exams will be given to the Chair of the Science Department who will have them added to your student file

 

 

Deferred Exams:

Deferred exams are granted when students miss a final exam for reasons considered by the Science Department to be unavoidable. As with other missed exams, you must notify the instructor within 24 hours of your absence from the final exam; if you know beforehand that you will be unable to attend the final exam at the scheduled time, the instructor must be informed immediately.

 

You must officially apply to the Science Department for a deferred final exam within two calendar after the scheduled exam date. Examination Request Forms can be obtained from the Registrar’s Office. NOTE:  Do not assume that you will automatically receive a deferred exam simply by tendering an application to the Engineering department. Each case will be carefully reviewed by the department and judged on its own merit.

Attendance:       

It is recommended that you regularly attend class.  It is the responsibility of the student to be appropriately prepared for all classes and laboratories. In the event that you are absent from a particular lecture or laboratory, you must assume full responsibility for the material missed.

 

 

 

Punctuality:

In order for all students to get the most out of each lecture, punctual attendance is mandatory. Further to this end, we ask that you talk as little as possible with your classmates during the lecture (unless, of course, you are directed to do so by the instructor). In addition, you must be in the laboratory at least one or two minutes before the beginning of each laboratory period. Students who are more than 20 minutes late for the laboratory will not be allowed to perform the experiment.

 

Academic Honesty:

All forms of student dishonesty are considered unacceptable. If students have clearly

used plagiarism or copied from other students a grade of zero will be given for the assignment or exam; in instances of copying on assignments and reports, all students involved will be assigned a zero. Cheating on final exams will generally result in a grade of F being assigned for the course. Please see the College Calendar for a description of students’ rights and responsibilities.
