C., "Quantitative Chemical Analysis", 7th Edition W.H. Freeman, 2007</p><p>Text Web Page: http://bcs.whfreeman.com/qca7e</p><p>COURSE OBJECTIVES:</p><p>1) To continue to learn the key concepts of quantitative analysis which will serve as a foundation for your chemistry studies and professional activities. 2) To use concepts learned in SCHA 261. 3) To be able to use spreadsheets to manipulate data and solve problems. 4) To be able to apply concepts to solve new problems. 5) To start the process of learning how to learn on one's own. 6) To work productively with a group to solve problems. 7) To be able to calculate the concentration of ions in complex aqueous solutions</p><p>Important note: I can not learn for you. You must take an active roll in this process. If you look at former teaching evaluations you will note that students have commented that they had to teach themselves. See the fifth course objective.</p><p>CLASS POLICY:</p><p>You must be prepared for class and you are expected to attend class. We will be using active and cooperative learning tools. This class will progress at a very rapid rate. Therefore it is imperative that you keep up with the homework and reading assignments. You should be aware that a minimum of two hours should be spent outside class for each hour of class time. Please note that this is a 4 credit course.</p><p>GRADING</p><p>The final grade for the course will be based on the following (this may be modified):</p><p>10% Harris Online Assignments: (Do these during the week the chapters are covered.) 30% Web Assign (You will need a new licence): 30% Hour Exams (three): 30% Final exam: HOMEWORK</p><p>You should do all the Web Assign problems (some problems will have greater emphsis). The assignments are designed to aid you in your understanding of the concepts presented in the lecture. </p><p>PLAGIARISM Plagiarism, in any form, will not be tolerated in this course. This includes exams, quizzes, and lab reports. Any case of plagiarism will result in an automatic grade of zero, and a memo will be sent to RIT Student's Records office. A second offense results in an automatic failing grade, F, for the course.</p><p>HELPFUL HINTS  Read the assignments before the lecture. You may not understand everything, but the preparation will help you to benefit from the lecture.  Do all the homework. In chemistry, as elsewhere, "practice makes perfect."  Try to understand, and not memorize, the calculations involved in the homework and lab reports. They will appear on exam and quiz questions.  Use the "Exercises" and "Terms to Understand" at the end of each chapter to aid your study.</p><p>TENTATIVE LECTURE SCHEDULE</p><p>Acid-Base Equilibria Chapter 9</p><p>EXAM # 1 </p><p>Polyprotic Acids and Bases Chapter 10 Acid Base Titrations Chapter 11 EDTA Titrations Chapter 12</p><p>EXAM # 2 </p><p>Spectrophotmetry (short overview) Chapter 18 (sections 1- 4) Fundamentals of Electrochemistry Chapter 14 Redox Titrations Chapter 16 Electrogravimetric analysis Chapter 17</p><p>EXAM # 3 </p><p>Electrodes/Potentiometry Chapter 15 Voltammetry Chapter 17</p><p>Final exams are May 19 - 24.
