Text: Chemistry: the science in context, T. R. Gilbert, R. V. Kirss, N. Foster,  G. Davies Third ed., Norton,  2012.

 

This course is the second half of a two-semester first-year sequence in chemistry. You will learn the properties of the states of matter and the fundamental ways of describing these properties. From there, you will learn about the rates of chemical changes and the concept of equilibrium. Chemical equilibrium will be covered in detail, with emphasis on acid-base, electrochemical and solubility equilibrium and equilibrium thermodynamics. All in-class assignments (exams, quizzes) must be done with non-communicating devices (pencil, pen, slide rule, abacus, non-communicating calculator). Use of a communicating calculator on an in-class assignment will result in a score of 0 on that assignment.

 

GRADING POLICY

 

            A weekly quiz will be given during the first five minutes of each Monday class. The quiz will consist of one or two short-answer or multiple choice questions based on the material covered in the preceding week’s lecture and/or homework assignments. Three in-class, full-period exams will be given on the dates listed below. The final exam will be a two-hour, standardized, comprehensive examination covering both semesters of this course. The grading for this course will be based on examination performance (100 points for each semester exam, 200 points for the final exam). The quiz total (13 quizzes x 7 possible points each = 91 possible points) may be used to replace the lowest examination score. The score for the first missed exam will automatically be replaced with the quiz total. No make-up exams will be given for missed exams. Homework problems from the text will be assigned, but not collected. Attendance at all class meetings is expected. Six or more absences may result in a reduced grade for the course.

 

In order to receive appropriate accommodations, students with disabilities must register with the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence and provide relevant and current medical documentation. Students should contact Mary Ellen Pichiarello (Extension 4039) or Jim Muniz (Extension 4218), 5th floor, St. Thomas Hall, for an appointment.

Academic honesty:

                        The first time that a student is caught cheating on an exam or quiz, he or she will receive   a grade of zero points for that assignment. For further consequences of violating academic ethics please refer to the University of Scranton Student Handbook.
