Lecture Section: 16518; TTh 1:35pm – 3:00 pm in AH/ TE 107 Laboratory Section: 16525; TTh 3:10pm – 6:25pm in CH/ K 466 Requirement Designation: Meets IGETC 5A 5C CSU B1 B3 Enrollment Requirement: Prerequisite: CHEM 101

Description: This is the second semester of a one-year course in general chemistry intended for majors in the natural sciences, (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, pre-medicine), mathematics and engineering. Topics presented in this course include chemical kinetics, molecular and ionic equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and nuclear, coordination, descriptive and organic chemistry. Lab work involves both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Student learning Outcomes (SLOs): At the end of the course, students will be expected to develop and demonstrate competencies, skills, and knowledge related to the below:

1. Students will describe kinetic, equilibrium and redox concepts for inorganic reactions and apply radioactivity principles.

2. Students will perform experiments to illustrate these concepts following safety practices in the laboratory

Required Text:

Lecture section: General Chemistry 11

edition by Darrell D. Ebbing and Steven D. Gammon.

Optional Material: “Solutions Manual for General Chemistry” by Darrell D. Ebbing and Steven D.

Gammon, Houghton Mifflin Company.

Laboratory section: Lab experiments will be provided free of charge.

OR Use CANVAS

Required Materials:

 Calculator with exponential and log capability

 Ball-point pen for lab (non-smearing, non-erasable type)

 Lab coat, Safety goggles, approved type

 Closed shoes for lab.

 Keep cell phones on ‘Silent’ mode

 No eating or drinking during lab. No sitting on the benches permitted.

 Bound Notebook (with duplicate sheets)

Note: cell phones, programmable or graphing calculators will not be allowed in the exams.

Reading and Homework: You should attempt to read the assigned chapters before the related topic is covered in lecture. Assigned homework is turned in at the beginning of lecture and will be checked for completion. It is your responsibility to do (at least) the assigned homework in order to master the material covered. The more problems you do, the more you will learn, so it is in your best interest to do as many problems as you can (including ones not assigned). Allocate

~10-12 hours of independent study per week for this course. Assignments handed in late will have half the point value deducted per day late until the point value is zero.

Method of Evaluation:

3 exams 300 Range 90-100% = A Final Exam (cumulative) 200 80-89% = B Lab Reports/Exercises 150 68-79% = C

Quizzes 60 50-67% = D

HW/ Participation/Attendance 40 <50% = F TOTAL possible 750

Assessment: In the lecture portion of the class assessment of progress will be determined by classroom tests on covered materials and a comprehensive final exam. The classroom tests/final may include a combination of short essays, short objective answers, and multiple-choice

questions. The laboratory section will be assessed via grading of the reports, laboratory techniques, safety, and in depth understanding of experiments.

EXAMINATIONS: Three exams are scheduled and the tentative dates are in the syllabus.

They will be taken during the regular lecture time slot. No make-up exams will be given, and if allowed there will be a 15% penalty added to exam. The 2-hour final exam is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, May 28, 2019 @ 2:30–4:30pm. The site of the exam will be

announced later. NO ONE will be permitted to take the final exam either earlier or later than the scheduled time, and no one can receive a passing grade for the course without taking the final exam.

Quizzes: Quizzes will be given on assigned days.

Attendance: This course is a combination of lab and lecture and your attendance in both the lab

and lecture is mandatory. Be on time always to the lecture and lab. Coming late disturbs the rest

ACCOMODATIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION

Attendance Polices: Students are expected to attend every class meeting, to arrive on time and stay throughout the class period.

The following is LATTC’s Student Attendance Policy:

1. An instructor may exclude a student who is absent for more hours than the class meets per week or 20% of the total class hours (for late start classes)

2. In addition, an instructor may equate three or more late arrivals to or early departures from class as an absence for purposes of class attendance.

Academic Dishonesty Policy: The LACCD student code of conduct (Board Rule 9803.28) states “Violations of academic integrity of any type by a student provides grounds for disciplinary action by the instructor or college. Violations of Academic Integrity include, but are not limited to the following actions: cheating on an exam, plagiarism, working together on an assignment, paper or project when the instructor has specifically stated students should not do so, submitting, the same paper to more than one instructor, or allowing another individual to assume one’s identity for purpose of enhancing one’s grade. For more information on the Standards of Student Conduct refer to the college catalog available in hardcopy and online at www.lattc.edu Disability Support Services (DSS) Accommodation: “Students with disabilities who need any assistance or accommodations should contact the instructor”. The DSPS office is available to assist with accommodating a disabled student at x3733 and is in MA 100.

Academic Connections is a collaborative interdisciplinary hub that inter-connects the campus to provide students with support services required to achieve their academic, vocational and personal goals. They offer computer-assisted and instructor-led courses and workshops to strengthen foundational skills in reading, writing, English as a Second Language, mathematics, computer/information technology, workforce and self-efficacy competencies, and learning and study skills. They provide one-on-one and small group tutoring to further prepare students for success in college-level courses, employment, and long-term educational, career, and life-long goals. Services are in MA 109

Disclaimer: syllabus/schedule subject to change.

Laboratory:

The laboratory schedule is in the syllabus. Lab attendance is mandatory and is associated with points. Each week’s experiment(s) is designed to give the student practical experience in chemistry. You are expected to have read each experiment(s) before attending lab section. The post-laboratory report and calculations are due at the beginning of the lab period 1 week after completion of experiment.

The format of pre-lab is out-lined as follows:

Your name and date at top right of the note book Title of the experiment

Purpose

Safety requirements

Procedure (copy from lab handout; leave the last 10 columns blank to put your observations and results)

In Lab:

Observations

Results and Calculations Conclusion

The pre-lab material should be put in the Lab notebook as a major part of the lab report. The last item in the lab report is the conclusion (to be given by you at the end of the experiment). The pre-lab exercises will be checked by the instructor before the start of the lab and the lab report will be signed at the end of the experiment before you leave, (No lab will be graded without signatures on pre-lab and post- lab).

1. If you miss more than three laboratories, you will get an “F” for the lab grade.

2. If you are absent, anything due on the day you were absent is due on the day you return.

Note: Coming late to the lab will result in 10% deduction of points unless stated earlier

Note: Lab coat, goggles, and closed toe shoes are required to enter the lab!
