(10/15/04): Note the link above to the instructions for Experiment 4. We will be doing this computational lab on Tuesday 10/19 and Thursday 10/21.
(10/8/04): (1) I have postponed the due date for PS 4 until Wednesday, since I won't finish my VSEPR comments until Monday. (2) A copy of the instructions for Experiment 3 next week is posted. Note that this will be a computational lab, so you don't need to come dressed for "real" lab work. There is an ASA (on p. 11) for you to complete before lab. (3) Remember that tutoring is available in the Chem Dept. computer lab on Sunday from 2-5 p.m. and 7-10 p.m.
(10/1/04) Here is a preview of the information you will be given in your test booklet on Monday. A link to my key for Problem Set 3 is below. Remember that I will be in my office Sunday night from 7-9 p.m.
(9/30/04) (1) Remember that I have postponed #5 on Problem Set 3 (Silberberg 10.18) to Problem Set 4. You are not responsible for resonance on Test 1. (2) Remember my normal office hour today from 4-5 p.m., and my special hours the night before Test 1: 7-9 p.m. on Sunday.
(9/20/04): (1) Note hint for Problem Set 2 below. (2) Remember that the Add/Drop deadline is this Friday.
(9/17/04): In case you haven't been able to buy your notebooks for General Chem lab, I just got word that the Highlander has replenished its supply. Remember that Chem 112 will start its "real" lab work this coming Thursday (9/23), and Chem 111 starts real lab work the following week (9/28 and 9/30).Thanks to Clara for the heads-up on the notebooks!
