Comprehensive final examination without solutions for Fall 2003, involving two questions based on laboratory experiments and nine questions based on lectures.
Handout on the grading policies for laboratory experiments in accelerated General Chemistry. It lists a number of factors which are taken into consideration when grading the laboratory reports.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Handouts; Stoichiometry; Chemical equilibrium
Introduction. In class we observed that no reaction goes to completion and have discussed qualitatively the consequences of this insight. It is also possible to deal quantitatively with chemical equilibria. The chemist's approach should start with...
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Handouts; Stoichiometry; Chemical equilibrium
Introduction. Part II of the handout will apply the approach introduced in Part I to acid-base chemistry. We shall focus on two cases where the application of stoichiometry leads to great simplifications: strong acids which are essentially 100%...
