Old Announcements:
(4/2/09): Here is the Test 3 Preview Sheet.
(3/16/09): Remember that I will be out of town March 23-26.
The fanny-kicking Rob Rossi will be continuing our discussion of Chapter
8 on Monday (the 23rd) and Wednesday (the 25th). He will use part of the
lab period on Thursday (on the 26th, in OR 350) to finish up the discussion
of Chapter 8, and maybe review monoprotic acids and bases.
On Friday, March 27, I will be back to start Chapter 10, on polyprotic acids
and bases. Friday will also be (1) the due date for Problem Set 6 and (2)
the last day to make AA measurements.
I was pleased with people's overall performances on Test 2. Enjoy a well-earned
rest this week!
