Welcome to CHM 103General Chemistry II Laboratory Companion course to CHM 102 lecture
The laboratory addresses: • Measurement including statistics • Non-visual methods of tracking reactions • Potentiometric titration • Conductiometric titration • Instrumental methods and computer technology • Chime • Graphing calculator and/or Excel • IR and visible spectroscopy • Build on topics from CHM 101 and new areas explored in CHM 102
The weekly format Laboratory on Monday or Wednesday follow-up out of class Discussion on Friday data analysis practice questions/problems
3 performance labs at 50 points each + 5 mini-assignments at 10 points each for 200 Your course grade Culminating Chemical Analysis Task at 100 points 2 exams at 100 points each for 200 500 points total
Culminating Chemical Analysis Task (CCAT) • Last lab period • Done individually • Chemical analysis performance task • Uses skills and procedures covered during semester • Instructions provided
on the road to success... THINK !!! In class … On time… Be ready to At least 6 hours per week on out of class work Complete class assignments and problems on handouts Form a study group and meet regularly Get help early from your instructor or tutor
Laboratory manual available FREE online as pdf – Also links to interactive support materials The course webpage http://academic.pgcc.edu/~ssinex/chm103.html For great resources http://academic.pgcc.edu/psc
In small groups... • Each group must invent a new unit of measurement • Use the new unit to determine the area of the classroom • Compare your group’s unit to another • What is the conversion factor between the two different units? • How would other students in another place be able to use your unit?
