INSTRUCTOR

CHEMISTRY 101-001 SPRING 2010

Dr. John R. McDuffie E-mail jrmcduffie@bama.ua.edu, Phone 394-2179 Office: 2088 Shelby Hall Office Hours: Thursday 10:00 - 11:00 AM II. OBJECTIVE The objective of this course is to introduce students to the basic facts and principles of chemistry. Some of the topics included are: chemical formulas, reaction stoichiometry, atomic structure, chemical periodicity, molecular structure, ionic and covalent bonding theories, molecular orbitals, gas laws, and kinetic molecular theory. Prerequisite: Placement in MATH 112. More details in terms of learning goals for this course can be found at the end of the syllabus. III. TEXT The text is Chemistry: A Molecular Approach by Nivaldo J. Tro, 2nd edition. The book has been customized for The University of Alabama by removing chapters not to be covered and putting on a soft cover thereby reducing cost and weight. It is recommended that each student have access to the student solutions manual, which provides solutions to new problems at the end of each chapter. The solutions manual is available for order through the bookstores. IV. LABORATORY MANUAL The lab manual is Laboratory Manual for Chemistry: A Molecular Approach by Vincent and Livingston. Chemistry is a hands-on science. The experiments have been designed to assist the student in learning fundamental chemical principles. The experiments will serve as an introduction to the basic laboratory operations and skills needed in the practice of chemistry. Each student must purchase a lab manual and enroll in a lab section. Other safety rules will be explained during your first laboratory. Laboratory sections will start meeting the first full week of the semester or the week of August 26th. More than two (2) absences in laboratory will result in failure of the entire course (grade F). V. COURSE GRADES Attend Lab Final (50) 150 150 TOTAL 750 points

Grading Scale A = 90 100 B = 80 - 89 C = 70 - 79 D = 60 - 69 F < 60 2

+/-'s will be given at the instructors discretion. A. Exams You must bring your ACT card, driver's license, or other photographic identification to all exams in order to receive a grade. Students are strongly encouraged to take all regularly scheduled exams. However, should you have to miss one of these exams it will become your drop grade. If you miss a second exam and can provide written, reasonable excuses for both of the missed exams, you will be permitted to use your score (calculated as a percent) on the final exam as a makeup score for the test you missed. No make-up exams will be given. No programmable calculators, language translators, pagers, cell phones or similar electronic devices are allowed. You must use the Casio FX-260 (Virginia State model) calculator for examinations; this calculator is available at the SUPE Store for ~$10.00. B. Quizzes

Quizzes will be given most every non-test week. Quizzes will be given either in the Thursday evening recitation sessions or in the lecture classes. No make-up quizzes will be given. C. Homework

Homework assignments will be submitted on the Web using Mastering Chemistry. The due dates are listed on the Web site. Mastering Chemistry comes bundled with the text books purchased at UA bookstores at a significant discount. Access can also be purchased on the Internet. On average 15 problems will be assigned per chapter for a total of 150 questions for the semester or 50 points. Please attend your first recitation session (Thursday August 22) for extra instructions.

D.

Attendance and Participation

Attendance is mandatory and will be taken in all class periods. Your number of attendances along with class participation will count towards 50 points . Since some consideration will be given for an excused absence or two, documentation for excused absences will only be necessary in the case of extended absences. The policy is explained in more detail below.

VI.

EXTRA HELP Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) The Learning Skills Center of CTL is located in 124 Osband Hall and is loaded with helpful materials. Please visit the center to determine if the available materials might be useful in your study of chemistry or check on the Web at http://www.ctl.ua.edu/AcadSup/browseacadsup01.asp. We will announce the times and meeting places of extra chemistry help sessions run by CTL chemistry tutors at a later date. There is also a Web site associated with the previous textbook used in this course. You can find access to this site in your eLearning site for this course. Freshman Chemistry Help Center The Department of Chemistry has all of its General Chemistry Laboratory Teaching Assistants (TAs) hold their office hours in a common room, so that all general chemistry students can have access to extra help in case they have another class or conflict when their specific TA has office hours. The locations and times for both General Chemistry TA office hours as well as CTL tutorial sessions will be announced separately. The Freshman Chemistry Help Center will be open most afternoons from 1:00 5:00 PM Monday through Friday; however, more specific hours will be announced and posted early in the semester. Class Notes The SUPE Store has printed out copies of the Publisher's PowerPoint Charts for the course packaged for sale, generally with three charts per page on the left side of the page and lines for note taking on the right side. The original PowerPoint charts will also be downloadable from e-Learning.

Office Hours Your course instructor has a designated regular office hour; however, this does not mean that he is unwilling to meet with you at other times to help you master the material. Please either call 394-2179 or e-mail (jrmcduffie@bama.ua.edu) for an appointment. Please do not overlook this resource.

VII. RECITATION/EXAM PERIOD (6:30 7:50 PM Thursday, 1093 Shelby) This time will be used for exams and some quizzes, with the remaining dates being used for recitation sessions. These sessions will be used primarily for solving end of chapter problems and general review. There is a strong probability that some of the problems worked in the recitation section will appear on quizzes and exams. VIII. ATTENDANCE POLICY

The following sentence is quoted from the 2008-2010 Undergraduate Catalog: Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered. Class attendance is regarded as an academic matter, and the use of attendance records in grading (or for other purposes) is left to the discretion of the faculty member responsible for the course, as explained in the course attendance policy written and distributed by the faculty member. The faculty member is responsible for handling any excuses for absences from his or her class.

IX.

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT All acts of dishonesty in any work constitute academic misconduct. The Academic Misconduct Disciplinary Policy will be followed in the event of academic misconduct.

Learning Goals for General Chemistry Why learn chemistry? Chemistry is the central science. No other subject has as much impact on our daily lives. Chemical reactions occur everywhere - the atmosphere ocean our bodies and in reactors where matter is carefully transformed into useful products such as medicines fertili!ers plastics etc. " student that learns the fundamental concepts of chemistry will be able to apply their #nowledge to solve problems in a number of other science and engineering disciplines and better understand the chemical world in which they live. What should a student learn in General Chemistry courses at $he %niversity of "labama? &' %nderstand the difference between a hypothesis theory and scientific law (' %nderstand the difference between )ualitative and )uantitative observations *' %nderstand the +eriodic $able ,' %nderstand atomic theory and its ability to e-plain macroscopic properties .' %nderstand stoichiometry /' %nderstand bonding theories 0' %nderstand thermochemistry and electrochemistry 1' %nderstand the principles of e)uilibrium and #inetics 2' 3dentify intermolecular interactions &4' 3dentify common chemical reactions including acid5base reactions &&' 6now common units of mass volume temperature etc. &(' %nderstand how chemistry impacts our daily lives
