HOMEWORK: Homework assignments are posted on the website and may be turned in for extra credit. Homework assignments are due the day of the exam. Homework covers the material related to the lectures and are an excellent way to prepare for taking the exams. It is in your best interest to do the homework fully, and with great fervor, as it will directly aid your success in this course. LECTURE ATTENDANCE: Regular attendance in all classes is important for satisfactory academic progress. The Napa Valley College attendance regulations make provisions for a limited number of unavoidable absences. However, a student who is absent for as many times as the class meets each week for lecture will have exhausted this provision. An instructor may request verification of those absences. Further absences may cause the instructor to drop the student from the class. Students who do not attend the first class meeting may be dropped or lose priority on the waiting list. LAB ATTENDANCE: Attendance in lab is mandatory. Lab Reports are the due one week after they have been completed. LABS ARE CONSIDERED LATE IF THEY ARE TURNED IN ANY TIME AFTER THE CLASS PERIOD THAT THEY ARE DUE. IF A LAB IS SLIPPED UNDER THE DOOR TO MY OFFICE AFTER CLASS THE LAB WILL BE MARKED LATE. LABS THAT ARE MORE THAN A WEEK LATE WILL RECEIVE NO CREDIT. No assignments will be accepted by . 1

A variety of experiments including the making and testing of gases; the synthesis of esters, aspirin, nylon, and soap; single and double replacement reactions and electrochemistry; determining the volume of a mole of gas, the formula of a hydrate, the concentration of vinegar by titration. COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1. Perform basic chemically-related mathematical computations, including conversions within the metric system, conversions between English and metric systems, density, temperature conversion, gas laws, exponents, dimensional analysis and proportions, and mole-related problems, including concentration of solutions. 2. Define and appropriately use the terms atom, ion, charge, atomic number, mass number, atomic mass, isotope, energy states, element, compound, mixture, solution, molecule, and formula unit. 3. Create drawings to explain ionic bonding and covalent bonding, including coordinate covalent bonding. 4. Explain the organization and structure of the Periodic Table. 5. Write ionic and covalent formulas, and name simple ionic and covalent compounds and acids; draw the Lewis (electron dot and dash) structures of simple covalent compounds, including skeletal structures. 6. Explain polar using the concept of electronegativity to covalent bonds; determine oxidation numbers and identify oxidation and reduction processes and their agents. 7. Explain hydrogen bonding and dissolving. 2

Classify chemical equations, and write balanced chemical equations given only the reactants. 11. Apply the mole concept, and perform mole-equation computations for gas-volume and non-gas-volume problems; calculate mole amounts, molar volumes, and molar masses; determine gas densities from formula masses. 12. Contrast the meanings of "concentrated and dilute" with "strong and weak;" calculate molar concentrations (molarity) and normality. 13. Apply the concept of ph and the factors that influence it. 14. Work in a laboratory setting utilizing appropriate safety and technique procedures and standard laboratory equipment. 15. Perform a variety of experiments following laboratory directions. 16. Develop and test hypotheses, gather and weigh evidence, and make appropriate conclusions. LABORATORY REQUIREMENTS: You are expected to be prepared for lab BEFORE starting the experiment. You may not begin the experiment unless you have met a set of minimum, but mandatory, requirements. These requirements include that you, 1. have a completed pre-laboratory assignment from the lab manual, 2. attend the pre-lab lecture, and 3. wear safety goggles, close-toed shoes, and clothing that completely covers you from the shoulders to the knees. Failure to meet these minimum requirements will prevent you from participating in that lab session. If you arrive after the start of the pre-lab lecture, you have missed it and points will be deducted. Failure to wear safety goggles will result in being immediately ejected from the lab without the possibility of being readmitted. STATEMENT OF "ACADEMIC FRAUD": All work must be of your own original composition. Plagiarism from any source (books, papers, fellow classmates, Internet, etc.) or unethical behavior during exams (unauthorized crib notes, a neighboring exam, communication (verbal, written, electronic, or otherwise), etc.) will not be tolerated. The fabrication or use of data other than your own in the laboratory reports is considered fraud. Copying from another student, even if they are your lab partner, is considered cheating. Do your own work! A failing grade will be assigned for the course and drop forms will not be permitted. In addition, the matter will be turned over to the college for further judiciary and disciplinary actions. Consult your student handbook for additional information on this and other Honor Code stipulations. Consider this statement as your first, last, and only warning regarding this matter. 3

4 CLASS DECORUM: It is expected that you will treat your instructor and fellow students with appropriate respect. Shouting, outbursts, anger, threats, references to gender or ethnicity, and the use of foul language will not be tolerated and may result in the student being asked to leave and if the student refuses, he or she may be escorted out of the class by campus police. In addition, please do not wear clothing that contains foul language or insulting images. Be respectful of those around you. ELECTRONIC DEVICES: Be sure all cell phones and pagers are turned OFF before lecture and/or lab begins. Electronic means of recording the lectures are not permitted (this includes both audio and video recording). Additionally, laptop computers should be stored during lectures; take notes the old-fashioned way (with paper and pen). Cell phones are NOT to be used as calculators during exams. Additionally, ipods, iwatches and the like, are also banned from lectures and labs. LETTERS OF ACCOMMODATION: Approximately half of all college students have some special learning need. The College s Disabled Students Programs and Services (Room 1339E) offers services to identify students that may require accommodations in coursework or examination situations. The College and its instructors are legally required to make the arrangements explicitly stated in the student s Letter of Accommodation. If you have such a letter, please arrange for a meeting with me immediately. TUTORING: Napa Valley College offers a tremendous number of services designed to help students succeed. It is in your best interest to seek them out BEFORE you need them to pass the course. 4
