LABORATORY OUTLINE - CHE 100

LAB MANUAL: Foundations of Chemistry In The Laboratory, 10th Edition by Hein, Best, Miner, and Piesen, Brooks/Cole Publisher

**SAFETY GLASSES must be worn at all times. You can buy them at the bookstore.

No drinking or eating is allowed  in the laboratory. Read "To The Student" p. vi and vii before coming to the lab. Glassware, equipment, and work space must be cleaned after each lab exercise

Each student is required to complete the following twelve experiments. Reports are due the same day the experiment is performed. It is therefore necessary to read the assignment before coming to the laboratory. Exercises with the experiment are to be submitted with the lab report. There are no make-up labs; your lowest lab score will be discarded. A lab not attended will be the laboratory score discarded from your grade distribution.

Late lab reports will not be accepted. NOTE: We do not follow the order of the Lab Manual.

#14 LAB QUIZ

GRADING AND TESTING:

1. There will be six (6) 75 minute tests. The average of the five best tests will be worth 60% of the course grade.

2. The lab consists of TWELVE EXPERIMENTS (each graded on a 10 point maximum scale) and a final LAB OUIZ (worth 2.5 labs). The lowest lab score will be discarded from your grade distribution. The average of the eleven best lab scores will be worth 25% of the course grade.

3. The final exam will be worth 15% of the course grade. The FINAL EXAMINATION will be comprehensive.

GRADING SCALE: 90 - 100% = A; 87 - 89% = A-; 84 - 86% = B+; 80 - 83% = B; 77 - 79% = B-;

73 - 76% = C+; 68 - 72% = C; 65 - 67% = C-; 60 - 64% = D+; 55 - 59% = D; < 55% = F

I = INCOMPLETE - Given under extreme circumstances (e.g., incapacitating illness, sudden family member death) and only to a student who is passing and who has completed more than 80% of the course. An incomplete must be completed within the contractual period agreed to by the instructor and student. Failure to do so will result in a zero for the work being added to the grade distribution, the grade recalculated, and a change of grade form submitted.

W = WITHDRAWAL - CHECK DEADLINE DATE FOR WITHDRAWALS. Student MUST use official withdrawal forms to withdraw. THERE CANNOT BE A GRADE CHANGE FOR A STUDENT INITIATED WITHDRAWAL.

WP = WITHDRAWAL - PASS (Faculty initiated). If a student wishes to withdraw and has a D or better average with 40% or more of the coursework completed, I recommend that the student see me before withdrawing. I will evaluate the grade at the time of withdrawal; if the student is passing the course, I will confer a WP mark. Remember, a student initiated W cannot be changed! I won't convey this grade without discussion with the student and any discussion must take place before the close of the fourteenth week of the semester.

WF = WITHDRAWAL-FAIL (Faculty initiated). I do not assign this grade unless I confer with the student. It is not averaged in the grade point average.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1. Attendance is required. Be prompt and stay for the duration of the class.

2. There will be NO MAKE-UP TESTS. One missed test will be considered the dropped test; if more than one test is missed, it will be considered a zero.

3. Cheating or copying will not be tolerated. A student who cheats or copies during a test or lab will receive a zero for the test or laboratory assignment. More disciplinary action might be taken.

4. OFFICE HOURS are listed in the syllabus. I encourage you to visit me.

SOME HELPFUL INFORMATION

1. VIDEOTAPES: The entire course is on videotape. The videotapes are located in the LRC. You may borrow them. Make use of them. Unfortunately, the first tape is missing and the order of the tapes don't quite match the chapters of the book. However, use the following list as a guide:

Tape #2 Scientific Notation & Significant  Figures (Chapter 2)

Tape #3 Metric System (continued) (Chapter 2)

Tape #4 Classification of Matter (Chapter 3 and part of Chapter 4)

Tape #5 Naming Binary Compounds (Section 6.4 of Chapter 6) and Balancing Chemical Equations (Sections 8.1 & 8.2 of Chapter 8)

GENERAL INFORMATION

GRADING

1. The average of the four best chapter tests is 60% of the course grade. The lowest chapter test score will be discarded. There will be no make-up tests; a test not taken will be the test score discarded from your grade distribution.

2. The cumulative final examination is worth 15% of the course grade.

3. The average of the ten best laboratory scores is 25% of the course grade. Therefore, your lowest lab score will be discarded. There are no make-up labs; a lab not attended will be the laboratory score discarded from your grade distribution.

4. Grades will be assigned based on the following final course averages:

A: 90-100%; A-: 87-89%; B+: 84-86%; B: 80-83%; B-: 77-79%; C+: 73-76%; C: 68-72%; D+: 64-67%; D: 59-63%; F: < 59%.

Individual course averages deviating from whole numbers will be rounded to the next highest integer if the tenths digit is 0.5 or higher; if the tenths digit is less than 0.5 the course average will be rounded to the next lowest integer.

Your chapter tests will have a 75 minute time limit. Tests will generally be composed of multiple choice questions, problems and essays. Prepare for your exams by focusing your efforts on the "Skills You Should have Mastered" section at the end of each chapter. You must also complete multiple questions and problems at the close of each chapter to obtain these skills. You will find interactive quizzes available via the OCC Auburn Hills and Highland Lakes Campuses Chemistry home page (http://www.oaklandcc.edu/earthsci/chem.htm). I suggest you also attempt to answer at least the following questions in each chapter. (See next page.)

WITHDRAWAL/INCOMPLETE POLICY

Instructors at OCC cannot issue a W (withdrawal) grade. This option is student initiated. This semester, the last date to withdraw from a fifteen week class is April 7, 2000. There can't be a grade change for a student-initiated withdrawal.

If a student wishes to withdraw and possesses a D+ or better course average and has completed 40% or more of the course requirements, I can confer a WP (withdrawal passing) grade. This grade will be assigned only after consultation with the student and can't be conferred if the student has already officially withdrawn. A WF (withdraw failing) grade may also be assigned if you have completed 40% or more of the course requirements and possess a failing grade. Neither the WP or WF grade will be assigned without consultation with the student and the consultation must occur prior to end of the semester's thirteenth week.

Students that stop attending class and fail to withdraw will receive grades of zero for all missed assignments and will likely receive an "F" as a course grade. Therefore, if you stop attending class make sure that you officially withdraw.

The I (Incomplete) grade will be assigned only under extreme circumstances (e.g., incapacitating illness) and to individuals that have completed 80% or more of the course with a passing grade. An I grade must be completed within a year or the contractual period agreed to by the student and instructor. Failure to complete the requirements during the contractual period will result in the student being assigned a zero grade for those requirements. The course grade will then be recalculated and a grade change form submitted.

ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE

The IIC (Individualized Instruction Center) on the ground floor of D Building will employ chemistry tutors again this semester. Don't forget to use the CD-ROM that accompanies the text. Additional help is available via the publisher's World Wide Web page at the URL: (http://www.whfreeman.com/chemistry3e).

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Test cheating and laboratory report plagiarism will not be tolerated. The first infraction will result in a zero for that assignment; the second infraction will result in an "F" grade being assigned for the course. All alleged academic dishonesty infractions will be forwarded to the appropriate OCC administrator.

GENERAL INFORMATION

GRADING

1. The average of the four best chapter tests is 60% of the course grade. The lowest test score will be discarded. There will be no make-up tests; a test not taken will be the test score discarded from your grade distribution.

2. The cumulative final examination is worth 15% of the course grade.

3. The average of the twelve best laboratory scores is 25% of the course grade. Therefore, your lowest lab score will be discarded. There are no make-up labs; a lab not attended will be the laboratory score discarded from your grade distribution.

4. Grades will be assigned based on the following final course averages:

A: 90-100%; A-: 87-89%; B+: 84-86%; B: 80-83%; B-: 77-79%; C+: 73-76%; C: 68-72%; D+: 64-67%; D: 59-63%; F: < 59%.

Individual course averages deviating from whole numbers will be rounded to the next highest integer if the tenths digit is 0.5 or higher; if the tenths digit is less than 0.5 the course average will be rounded to the next lowest integer.

Your chapter tests will have a 75 minute time limit. Tests will generally be composed of multiple choice questions, problems and essays. Prepare for your exams by focusing your efforts on the "Skills You Should have Mastered" section at the end of each chapter. You will find interactive quizzes available via the OCC Auburn Hills and Highland Lakes Campuses Chemistry home page (http://www.oaklandcc.edu/earthsci/chem.htm). You must also complete multiple questions and problems at the close of each chapter to obtain these skills. I suggest you also attempt to answer at least the following questions in each chapter.

WITHDRAWAL/INCOMPLETE POLICY

Instructors at OCC cannot issue a W (withdrawal) grade. This option is student initiated. This semester, the last date to withdraw from a fifteen week class is April 7, 2000. There can't be a grade change for a student-initiated withdrawal.

If a student wishes to withdraw and possesses a D+ or better course average and has completed 40% or more of the course requirements, I can confer a WP (withdrawal passing) grade. This grade will be assigned only after consultation with the student and can't be conferred if the student has already officially withdrawn. A WF (withdraw failing) grade may also be assigned if you have completed 40% or more of the course requirements and possess a failing grade. This grade will not be assigned without consultation with the student and the consultation must occur prior to end of the semester's thirteenth week.

Students that stop attending class and fail to withdraw will receive grades of zero for all missed assignments and will likely receive an "F" as a course grade. Therefore, if you stop attending class make sure that you officially withdraw.

The I (Incomplete) grade will be assigned only under extreme circumstances (e.g., incapacitating illness) and to individuals that have completed 80% or more of the course with a passing grade. An I grade must be completed within a year or the contractual period agreed to by the student and instructor. Failure to complete the requirements during the contractual period will result in the student being assigned a zero grade for those requirements. The course grade will then be recalculated and a grade change form submitted.

ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE

Attached to this syllabus is a list of chemistry tutorial software available at the IIC (Individualized Instruction Center), room 20, Woodland Hall. Once available, I will post in the lecture classroom a schedule for IIC chemistry tutors. This assistance is free; please take advantage of these opportunities for extra help. Don't forget to use the CD-ROM that accompanies the text. Additional help is available via the publisher's World wide Web page at the URL: {http://www.whfreeman.com/chemistry3e}.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Test cheating and laboratory report plagiarism will not be tolerated. The first infraction will result in a zero for that assignment; the second infraction will result in an "F" grade being assigned for the course. All alleged academic dishonesty infractions will be forwarded to the appropriate OCC administrator.

CHE 151, WINTER, 2000 LABORATORY SCHEDULE

Unless noted otherwise, laboratory exercise sheets are due at the end of the period. Late lab exercises can be submitted until the start of the next lecture class with a 25% late fee. Pre-laboratory assignments are worth 25% of the laboratory grade and, unless specified otherwise, are due at the beginning of the laboratory period. No late pre-laboratory assignments will be accepted; those not submitted at the beginning of the lab period will be assigned a zero grade.

FOOTNOTES:

1. Study "Laboratory Safety and Guidelines," pp. 1-3 in lab text before coming to lab. THE WEARING OF SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES IN THE LABORATORY IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT. Approved safety goggles are furnished and are located in the green cabinet by windows. Should you prefer to purchase your own safety goggles, they must be splash goggles, meet the ANSI Z87.1-1989 standard, and be approved by your instructor.

2. Your instructor will assign the exercises you are to complete in these dry labs.

3. Be sure to study the TECHNIQUES that will be used in this experiment. Note the TECHNIQUE, CAUTION, and SAFETY ICONS in the margins. For each experiment to be performed this term, note the numbers on the technique icons and study these techniques on pp. 9-27 prior to coming to lab.

Also note that this and each subsequent experiment has a PRE-LABORATORY ASSIGNMENT. These are due at the beginning of each lab period.

Your instructor will demonstrate the correct way to fill and empty a pipet (Part C.2.) Any unknown liquid (Part C.3) that is accidentally drawn up into the rubber bulb must be rinsed with distilled water immediately in order to prevent damage to the bulb.

4. Work with a partner on this experiment. IMPORTANT: In Part A.2., allow the copper metal sample to react with the concentrated HNO3 under the hood. Your instructor will demonstrate the correct way to use the centrifuge in Parts B.1., E.1., and E.2.

5. Work independently.

6. Work with a partner. Do two trials. Do a third trial if your first two trial results do not show reasonable agreement (within 15% of each other). Delete the standard deviation of molar mass calculation.

7. Work alone. Omit part B; do two trials for parts A and C.

8. Do Parts A and B independently; write answers on a sheet of notebook paper. Complete parts C, E, and F.2 with a partner. The instructor will demonstrate F.1.

9. Do Parts A, B, C, and E; work with a partner.

10. Work with a partner on this experiment.

11. Work independently. Use a liquid unknown for Parts A,B, and D. Use a solid unknown for Part C. Your unknown will be one of the compounds listed in Table 2.1, p. 50.

12. Work independently. In Part A.6., place the filter paper and precipitate on a watchglass and allow it to air-dry in your desk until next week. Complete Part B this lab period.

13. After weighing the dry Ba3(PO4)2, complete the calculations for Exp. 8 on your report sheet.

14. Note that this Dry Lab has a pre-laboratory assignment which is due at the beginning of the lab period. Work with a partner.

15. Check equipment in desk drawer against list. If any is missing, check to see if item is in the "glassware left out" tray by window. If it is not there, circle the item on the check-out list. Using brush, wash any dirty glassware with soap and water and then rinse three times with tap water. Use a wet sponge on bench top so that it is left in a clean condition. Have your instructor check cleanliness of glassware, desk drawer, and bench top before leaving.
