Here are today’s CHM 110 notes. These notes cover chemical caclulations, including limiting reactant and percent yield. The last page of these notes has a sample problem that’s similar to the calculations for experiment 4C (the vinegar lab).

CHM 100: Board notes for 2/25/09
Here are the notes for today’s CHM 100 class. These notes cover how to predict the charge of elements when they become ions and how to name ions and ionic compounds.
CHM 111: Board notes for 2/25/09
Here are today’s CHM 111 notes. These notes discuss Le Chateleir’s principle and also introduce equilibrium calculations (starting from initial conditions and predicting the concentrtions of species at equilibrium).
CHM 100: Lab exam study guide
I’ve posted a study guide for the first lab exam. You can see the study guide by either following the links on the right side of this page or by [clicking this link]. We will have our first lab exam the week after we complete Experiment 7
A few notes:.
- I will give you back your reports for the experiments we’ve done up through Experiment 6 during next week’s lab.
- You won’t get back your report for Experiment 7 before the lab test, so make sure you take good botes on Experiment 7!
- The experiment will not cover the introductory experiment specifically, but the main concepts in the introductory experiment are covered in Experiment 2.
CHM 111: Board notes for 2/23/09
Here are the notes from yesterday’s CHM 111 class. These notes finish up the collision theory model of reactions and introduce equilibrium and the equilibrium constant expression.
CHM 100: Board notes for 2/23/09
Here are the notes for yesterday’s CHM 100 class. These notes cover the kinds of elements and introduce molecular and ionic compounds.
CHM 110: Board notes for 2/24/09
Here are the notes for today’s CHM 110 class. These notes cover molarity and basic chemical calcilations.
CHM 110: More Experiment 3B stuff
Here’s the sample calculation for experiment 3B that we discussed at the ned of today’s class.
CHM 110: Experiment 3B shared data (Section 1)
Here’s the shared data from CHM 110 Experiment 3B. These are the ratios of mass product / mass barium chloride dihydrate that you need to complete the table on page 74 and answer the questions on pages 75 and 76. This is data for the Thursday lab section (section 1)!
Ratio of (mass product / mass BaCl2.2H2O):
- 0.85117
- 0.84988
- 0.85131
- 0.85040
- 0.85230
- 0.85094
The write-up for Experiment 3B is due at our next lab meeting. If you have any questions about either the calculations or the rest of the write-up, either come by my office or ask here in comments. We will discuss the calculations for this lab in Tuesday’s class.
I recommend that you use your TI-83 caclulator or your spreadsheet to find the standard deviation – you don’t have to calculate it by hand.
CHM 110: Board notes for 2/19/09
Here are the notes from today’s CHM 110 class. These notes cover chemical equations, balancing chemical equations, the mole concept, formula weight, and mass/mole calculations.
