Due to my absence on Monday 9/21/15, I’ve had to alter the lab schedule a bit for the Monday lab.  Here are the changes.

• 9/28:  The Monday lab section will perform Experiment 3A – Empirical formula of an oxide.
• 10/5:  No change in the day’s experiment.  Monday lab will perform Experiment 4C as was originally planned.
• 10/12:  The Monday lab section will perform Experiment 3B: Thermal decomposition of hydrates.  Lab notebooks will be due for midterm grading at the end of this lab period.

I have put these updates on the Lab schedule (110) page.

The Wednesday lab section schedule has not been changed in any way.

Due to illness, I’m cancelling CHM 101-01ET, CHM 110-01, and CHM 110-02 for today, Monday 9/21/15.

CHM 101:  We’ll finish covering the Chapter 10 material (sections 10.1-10.5) on energy and will then go back to Chapter 4 once we’re done.  Go ahead and take a look at the Chapter 4 material so you’ll be prepared.  I’ve updated the D2L gradebook with your scores from the second attempt of Test 1, and I’ll give you back the actual papers at our next class meeting on Wednesday.

CHM 110 01 and 02:  Read over chemical nomenclature (in Chapter 2) before Wednesday’s class.  I’ve updated the D2L gradebook with your scores from the second attempt of Test 1, and I’ll give you back the actual papers at our next class meeting on Wednesday.  If your score doesn’t appear to have changed, you scored better (or the same) on your first attempt.

Monday lab will not meet this week since I’m out, but the Wednesday lab is still on – and we will do Experiment 3A this week.  We will need to adjust the Monday lab schedule a bit to work around this unexpected holiday.  I will update the lab schedule on Tuesday when I’m back on campus.
