Introductory General Chemistry, 5 units. Chemistry 10 is an introductory level course in general chemistry designed to introduce basic chemical concepts, the solution of practical chemistry problems and basic laboratory techniques. This course fulfills the chemistry prerequisites for Chemistry 11.
Prerequisites
High School Algebra 1, 2 or Math 31
Required Materials
1. Textbook: Introductory Chemistry , 2nd ed., Ebbing and Wentworth
2. Lab Manual: Foundations of Chemistry in the Laboratory , 10th ed., Hein, Best & Miner
3. Calculator capable of doing scientific notation and logarithm
4. Safety Goggles (suited for the chemistry lab)
Optional, but highly recommended
1. Solutions Manual and Study Guide (to accompany the text)
2. Lab Coat or apron
Course Policy and Grading
Lecture
Some students find chemistry
difficult and frustrating for various reasons.
Learning chemistry takes effort and determination. As a rough guide, you should spend two hours
(studying the text and class notes and solving problems) outside of class for
each hour spent in class. Budget your
time accordingly.
You are expected to do all of
the assigned problems at the end of each chapter. You are also encouraged to solve extra problems from the text .
Attendance at each lecture
and lab is required. Each total absence
of 14 hours (lecture and/or lab) will lower your final grade by one full grade,
i.e. from A to B. or B to C, etc. You
are responsible for obtaining class notes and learning the material covered
during your absence.
Refer to Schedule of Activities
for complete information on labs, quizzes and exams. No make-up will be given for any of these but the lowest lab,
quiz and exam score will be dropped. If
you miss a lab, a quiz or an exam, that is the one you will drop. All others are mandatory. The final exam is comprehensive and
mandatory.
Laboratory
Chemistry is a laboratory
science. Attendance in the laboratory
is a must. There are no makeup labs,
but one lab grade will be dropped. To
pass this course, you must pass the
lab. A lab average of less than 65% of
the total points in the lab will result in failure of the course regardless of
your total points in class.
NO ONE MAY WORK IN THE LAB WITHOUT EYE PROTECTION.

points
Letter Grades: The
following grades are guaranteed:
89 - 100 % A 50
- 64 % D
77 - 88 % B below 50 % F
65 - 76 % C
It is the student's responsibility
to keep track of his scores in quizzes, tests and labs. If you are absent for 3 consecutive lecture
meetings, or miss more than 2 labs, or appear to vanish without notice, I may
drop you, but do not count on it. It is
your responsibility to drop yourself at the appropriate time. Perfect attendance in both lecture and labs
will earn an extra 5 points. The
student with the highest total points (lecture and lab) going into the finals
need not take the finals.
Academic Courtesy
This is defined as common
sense and polite behavior in the classroom and on campus. Teacher and students extend academic
courtesy to each other. There are a
number of ways to show courtesy: Come
to class on time. Stay the whole
time. Do not talk while the teacher is
talking or a student is reciting.
Sharpen pencils, hand in papers, borrow a calculator before class starts. Refrain from side conversations
regardless of topic. Relevant questions
will be answered by the instructor within certain time limits or outside of the
class (during office hours).
The SMC ACADEMIC HONESTY CODE will be strictly enforced.
WELCOME TO
CHEM. 10
Regular homework assignments are taken from the textbook and may also be handed out by the instructor. The homework will not be collected or graded, but it is essential for your success in this class that you complete it. The problems provide practice in problem solving and together with other exercises reinforce the lecture material. A number of exam questions will be taken from the homework.
At the end of each chapter, there is a section entitled “Questions to test your reading”.
Although this section is not assigned as homework, it is an excellent way of testing your comprehension of chapter material. Make an effort to find time to do this section.
