A. Course Description:
Co-requisite: CHM 1045. This course includes laboratory
experiments which, for the most part, are quantitative
in nature and designed to give practice in acceptable laboratory techniques. One three-hour laboratory weekly45Forty-seven contact hours.
B. Major Learning Outcomes:
1. The student will rapidly and accurately be
able to perform basic laboratory operations such as weight and volume
determinations.
2. The student will be able to understand and apply principles of
descriptive chemistry.
3. The student will be able to obtain
good experimental results and to correctly interpret data.
4. The student will be able to plot data
graphically and to compose laboratory reports.
C. Course
Objectives Stated in Performance Terms:
1. The student will rapidly and accurately be able to perform
basic laboratory operations such as weight and volume determinations by:.
The student will be able to:
a. Accurately using an analytical
balance, a top-loading balance, and a triple-beam balance, determine the mass
of a substance accurately and precisely.
b. Aapplying rules of significant figures,
rounding, and exponential notation to the correct precision, the numerical
result of a measurement or a calculation.
c. Measure measuring volumes of liquids with buretsburettes,
graduated cylinders, and pipetspipettes.
d. Use using theory and techniques of calorimetry to measure heat flow during chemical and
physical changes.
e. Determine determining the pressure of a gas using
a mercury or aneroid barometer to determine the pressure of the atmosphere in a
laboratory.
f.
Determine determining temperature using a centigrade
thermometer and. i Inter-converting
centigrade, Kelvin, and Fahrenheit temperatures.
g.
calculating the density of a substance by determining the mass and
volume after determining the mass and volume appropriately.
2. The student will be able to understand and apply principles of
descriptive chemistry by:.
The student will be able to:
a. Determine determining basic chemical and physical
properties of common elements and relating the properties to position of the
elements on the periodic table.
b. Carry carrying out
chemical reactions, and collecting
the products.
c. Determine determining the empirical formula of a
compound from experimental data.
3. The student will be able to obtain
good experimental results and to correctly interpret data by:.
The student will be able to:
a. Collect collecting
pressure-volume-temperature data for a gas sample and use using data
to verify gas behavior.
b. Apply applying simple
stoichiometric principles in calculating percent
composition from experimental data.
c. Use using a
buretburette
in the standardization of a solution of a base, and use using that base to determine the
concentration of an unknown acid using a titration technique.
4. The student will be able to explain data graphically and to compose laboratory reports by:.
The student will be able to:
a.
Plot plotting
experimental data
graphically, and interpolate interpolating
and extrapolate extrapolating
using the resulting curves.
b. Compose compiling laboratory
reports that accurately reflect laboratory results.
D. Criteria Performance Standard:
Upon successful completion of the course the student will, with a minimum of 70% accuracy, demonstrate mastery of each of the above stated objectives through classroom measures developed by individual course instructors.
