Spring 2007 Semester

Section 1
Thursday 6:00-8:50pm in 101 Science

Section 2
Thursday 2:40-5:30pm in 101 Science
Course Description:  CHEM 15 is a second-semester, one-credit introductory general chemistry laboratory course meant to complement the lecture course CHEM 13.  The course builds on material learned in CHEM 14 with emphasis on quantitative analytical procedures.  Essential material covered includes proper use of a laboratory notebook, writing of a formal laboratory report, use of the chemical literature, experimental design, interpretation of data using statistics, laboratory safety procedures, and an appreciation for what instruments can and cannot do.  The course introduces laboratory experimentation in the context of a variety of specific topics, for example: halogens, their compounds and their reactions chemical kinetics of a simple chemical reaction; acid-base equilibria and titrations; oxidation-reduction reactions and electrochemistry; separations of compounds using paper and liquid chromatography; separations using gas chromatography.
