Congratulations!  You’ve all made it to the end of the second week.  I hope you enjoyed the Labor Day holiday!

CHM 101

We discussed matter this past week, and are currently discussing energy.  Energy is covered in the textbook in sections 10.1-10.5, so make sure to take a look at those sections in the textbook.  After we finish with sections 10.1-10.5, we’ll return to where we left off in the textbook and continue on with chapter 4.

Remember – we have a test a week from Wednesday, and our first experiment in lab this week!

CHM 110 (01 and 02 – Monday/Wednesday sections)

We’ve finished up our discussion of math – significant figures and dimensional analysis.  I’ve posted the practice problems we worked on in the lab periods this week.  Take a look at these for extra practice on dimensional analysis if you need it – there are more problems there than we actually worked in the lab period.  For the rest of the week, we’ll work on Chapter 2 – properties of the atom, the periodic table, and chemical conpounds.  The first test is coming up a week from Wednesday, so make sure you stay current with the material.  For sections 1 and 2, the first test will likely cover up through nomenclature of ionic compounds.

Remember that CHM 110 labs aren’t meeting during week 3 – we’ll only have lecture meetings.

CHM 110 (03 – Tuesday/Thursday sections)

We have, like the other sections, finished up the math – significant figures and dimensional analysis.  I’ve posted a 36-problem practice set on the main page which you can use for more practice on dimensional analysis if you feel you need it.

Keep reading in Chapter 2 – we’ve already covered the atom and Dalton’s atomic theory – since the test we’ll have a week from Thursday will cover the first two chapters in the textbook.

Remember that CHM 110 labs aren’t meeting during week 3 – we’ll only have lecture meetings.
