CHM 110: Lab schedule changes

The lab schedules for CHM 110 sections 1 and 2 (the Monday/Wednesday sections) have been updated.  These changes were necessary because

  1. The flooding closed FDTC for two days, one of which was a lab period.
  2. FDTC has announced that classes will be cancelled on October 28 (a Wednesday) so that high school students may visit the campus.

The lab schedule for the Thursday lab (section 3) has not been changed.

FDTC closed Tuesday 10/06/15

From the FDTC web site…

Alert: The college will be closed for all students, faculty, and staff all day on Tuesday, October 6th 2015.

Due to ongoing problems with flooded roadways, FDTC will not be holding classes Tuesday.  This will impact the Tuesday/Thursday chemistry class.

CHM 110-03:  Test 2 is rescheduled for Tuesday, 10/13/15.  The lab schedule is unaffected.

FDTC closed Monday 10/05/15

From the FDTC web site…

Alert: The college will be closed for all students, faculty, and staff all day on Monday October 5th 2015. A decision will be made later about evening college.

Due to “historic” flooding around our area, FDTC will not be holding day classes Monday.  This will impact some of our chemistry classes.  Here’s how the closing will affect you:

CHM 101-01ET:  The homework assignment is now due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, 10/07/15.  Test 2 is rescheduled for Monday, 10/12/15.

CHM 110-01 and 02:  Test 2 is rescheduled for Monday, 10/12/15.  Section 1 (Monday) lab for 10/05/15 is cancelled, and the lab schedule will be readjusted.  Wednesday’s lab will meet as scheduled for Experiment 4C.

CHM 110-03:  So far, this flood event does not impact our class or lab schedule.  If that changes, I’ll post information here and send an e-mail to your FDTC e-mail address.

 

CHM 110 03 (TTH lecture): Board notes for 10/01/2015

Here are today’s CHM 110 notes for section 3 (TTH lecture).  These notes discuss chemical calculations (sometimes called stoichiometry).

[CHM 110 03: 10/01/2015 notes]

Here’s a list of tools for chemical calculations that we’ll be doing in CHM 110.  We’ve covered formula weight, molarity, and the chemical equation so far.  We’ll discuss the gas laws and chemical calculations with energy later on in Chapters 5 and 6.
