Chemistry 101 • Beth Lindquist • 7 Chem Annex • blindqu2@illinois.edu • Office Hours: 9-10 Tuesdays and Thursdays (after lecture) • And by appointment
FAQs • Recording the class is fine. • When the website is working, I will post the powerpoint slides there AFTER class, probably the next day.
The Course Website • Is broken! (for now) • Chem 101A is the same course taught by a different instructor (Gretchen). You can use that website for now. (Ignore specific dates though.)
Section BDJ • Your location information is not online, as of yesterday. Here it is: • Lab: 201 Chem Annex • Discussion: 19 Noyes Lab • If you didn’t make it to lab as a result, touch base with your TA so they know that you are in the course.
Textbook Homework • Page 10 of your lab manual has a list of problems. These correspond to end-of-chapter problems in the textbook. • Chapter 2 and 3 are due tomorrow in discussion. You will turn them in and your TA will grade for completion. Showing work is a good idea.

To: gadams4@illinois.edu From: jdoe25@illinois.edu Hi Gretchen, I am having trouble understanding problem #3 of the Additional Questions on pg. 23 of the Lab Book. How am I supposed to make my drawings for each measurement? Can you please give me some guidance? Thanks! -Jane (jdoe25, ADM, Chem 101)
Lectures • Provide a “big picture” • How do we think about “science”? • How do we solve a problem? • Lecture Syllabus • Page 8 of Lab Book • Interactive • I expect and encourage questions. • Participation expected through clickers.
Let’s Give it a Try… • Astronauts undergo some of the most rigorous training ever conceived. They must be able to perform dangerous work while hurtling through space, all without throwing up. China is after only the best of the best for its space program, so candidates are tested for what? A) Hand-eye coordination B) Bad breath C) Sobriety D) Parallel parking skills Source: Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! Daily News Quiz, 8/6/09
Answer • The correct answer is B. If you want to become a Chinese astronaut, don’t forget to floss; the Chinese training program won’t accept space hopefuls who have bad breath. • Ever ready to meet the needs of the marketplace, Altoids quickly responded with a new product line: Asteroids: The Curiously Strong, Suborbital Mint.
