Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
Experiments in chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, qualitative analysis, electrochemistry and chemical kinetics. Quantitative.
COURSE DETAILS:
4 lab hours/week
General Course Description: Experiments in chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, qualitative analysis, electrochemistry and chemical kinetics. A computer interface, probes and computer software will be used for data collection and analysis in several experiments. This course is designed to complement Chem 122 and students who expect to take further courses in physical or inorganic chemistry should take Chem 122 concurrently with 126.

Grading
- Lab Reports and LON-CAPA 55%
- Quizzes and Examinations 45%
NOTES:
Labs begin the first week of classes. All students must attend the first laboratory session.
REQUIREMENTS:
A grade of “Incomplete” (N) will be awarded to students who do not complete all experiments. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the Instructor within a week of a missed experiment to explain the reason why the experiment was missed and to schedule when the missed experiment will be completed. Failure to do so will result in loss of marks.
