Prerequisite Chm 1315 and 1215, Honors Freshman Chemistry I and its Laboratory
Corequisite
Chm 1316.
Purposes

Honors Freshman Chemistry Lab II is the corequisite of CHM 1316 Honors Freshman Chemistry II lecture. In contrast to the Quantitative Analysis emphasis of CHM 1215, this course is more discovery through measurement.

Subjects parallel those of CHM 1316 and thus include Gaseous Equations of State, Condensed Phases, Thermostatics, Chemical Dynamics, and Electrochemistry.


Evaluation

Grades will be determined by performance in the laboratory, on the lab write-ups, and with a laboratory final. Dates for these are below. No makeup labs will be given, however the lab final may replace the lowest individual lab grade.


Grade Scale 100  A  90   B+  87  B  83  B-  80   C+  77  C  73  C-  70   D+  67  D  63  D-  60  F
(We reserve the right to be more lenient.)
