Textbook:<\/strong>\u00a0 Daniel C. Harris, “Quantitative Chemical Analysis”, 8th ed.<\/p>\n

Course Overview<\/strong>
\nA study of the fundamentals of analytical chemistry. Students in this course learn how to use physical measurements to make quantitative chemical measurements reported with defined uncertainties. Concepts of chemical mass and charge balance are used to calculate chemical speciation in complex acid\/base and redox systems. Lectures and homework focus on problem solving skills that provide solutions to new problems based on fundamental chemical principles and constants. The required laboratory introduces students to advanced volumetric, potentiometric and spectroscopic techniques for quantitative chemical analysis. Written lab reports reinforce the technical writing style used in chemical communications.<\/p>\n

\nFinal Exam #14<\/strong><\/p>\n

Homework<\/strong>
\nThe Homework is a very important component of the course.\u00a0 Homework will be assigned every week.\u00a0 Answers to the homework are provided in the back of the book.\u00a0\u00a0 Your job is to work out the solutions that yield the answers.\u00a0 All homework will be graded and should reflect your own knowledge of the problem. \u00a0It is against the course policy to use online or published homework solutions to complete your homework.<\/p>\n

Many problems will be best solved using a computer program\/spreadsheet.\u00a0 Include a hard copy of the results with your homework\u00a0 assignment and also place the program\/spreadsheet used to solve the problem into your folder on the file server.\u00a0 You should have your own backup copy of your homework!!!\u00a0 You will be allowed to use some of your computer programs to solve problems during hour exams.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prelab assignments<\/strong>
\nPrelab exercises are an important component of the laboratory.\u00a0 The prelabs familiarize you with the current week\u2019s experiment making you more efficient in the laboratory and often improving your results.\u00a0 A short lab quiz may be given before each new lab exercise.<\/p>\n

Academic Honesty<\/strong>
\nAll students are expected to do their own work.\u00a0 In some cases we will ask you to work on experiments in small groups. \u00a0We expect and encourage you to discuss the procedures and results of these experiments with your fellow classmates.\u00a0 It is also acceptable to work together on difficult homework assignments, but not download solutions from the internet or other sources<\/strong>. \u00a0The final lab reports and completed homework assignments should be your own work.\u00a0 This means that you should be able to explain in detail all of the steps and procedures used to solve a particular homework problem or lab assignment.\u00a0 All spreadsheets should be your own work, including the equations!\u00a0\u00a0 If you work with other students on homework or lab assignments you should acknowledge this collaboration by listing their names on the top of your assignment.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The college statement on academic integrity:<\/strong> \u00a0Honesty, integrity, and personal responsibility are cornerstones of a Colby education and provide the foundation for scholarly inquiry, intellectual discourse, and an open and welcoming campus community.\u00a0 These values are articulated in the Colby Affirmation and are central to this course. Students are expected to demonstrate academic honesty in all aspects of this course.<\/p>\n

Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to: plagiarism (including quoting sources without quotation marks around the borrowed words and a citation); presenting another\u2019s work as one\u2019s own; buying or attempting to buy papers or projects for a course; fabricating information or citations; knowingly assisting others in acts of academic dishonesty; violating clearly stated rules for taking an exam or completing homework; misrepresentations to faculty within the context of a course; and submitting the same work, including an essay that you wrote, in more than one course without the permission of instructors.<\/p>\n

Academic dishonesty is a serious offense against the college. Sanctions for academic dishonesty are assigned by an academic review board and may include failure on the assignment, failure in the course, or suspension or expulsion from the College.<\/p>\n
