CHEM 1215 Fall 1999
Section 1
- HELP!! Session, Monday, September 13, 1999
at 8:30 pm in PS141. There is an Organic exam in the room
from 6:30 pm to 8:15 pm so please be quite if you arrive
early.
- So you think you know the first 20
elements (and other common elements), names, symbols,
formulas and phases!! Well, we'll see about that!
- After our staff meeting Dr. Ford and I
have decided to change next week's laboratory. Instead of doing Experiment #2:
Solubility in Water we will do Experiment #4: Separation
of a Solid Mixture.
- PS3 is due Monday, September 13, 1999 at
the beginning of class.
- Remember EXAM #1 is Wednesday, September
15, 1999 at 5:30 pm. in PS101 or PS103. Be sure to check
which room in the Physical Sciences building you are
expected to take Exam I. This information is located at
the Exams link.
- In PS3.9 the first isotope of cerium
should have a mass of 135.907 u.
- In ProblemSet PS3.3b the first question
askes which is at a higher temperature the aluminum or
the water? The question is referring to the comparison of
the temperatures of the aluminum and water in the second
system, not when the aluminum is in the boiling water.
- I've got some new notes for Chapter 2 and
3 up in the Lecture Notes link. I've also placed a
tentative set of notes for Chapter 4. These will be
modified in the next day or so, but here they are for the
moment.
- Need some Help with your chemistry? The
Chemistry Department offers free tutoring in PS023
(basement of Physical Sciences). Check the Free Tutoring
link on the left for the hours. Note that those TA's
teaching CHEM 1215 are identified with the red color.
Don't forget my office hours are 2:30 - 3:20 pm on T and
R
- In class I indicated that I expected
everyone to memorize the name (proper spelling), symbol
and formula for the first twenty elements in the periodic
table. For example;

- In addition to the first twenty elements I
want you to know the same information for other 'common'
elements. We mentioned a few in class on
Wednesday…uranium, gold, silver, mercury,
molybdenum, lead, iron, barium, platinum…there will
be more. In fact if I mention an element in class, you'd
better know it for the future.
