Develop lab methods based on literature and understanding of chemistry.

2 Assessments of learning objectives and outcomes. Accuracy of experimental determinations of the quantities of substances and compounds in unknown samples by diverse methods Two lab reports graded according to commonly accepted lab practices; including assays of samples Organization, lab safety, and good lab practices as judged by the instructor Ability to master the quantitative methods as judged by the accuracy of the assays Knowledge of lab practices, safely, and methods on a cumulative lab final In the first day of lab you will be require to have: Lab manual: Quantitative Analysis Laboratory (from Hunter College bookstore only) Safety Glasses Laboratory notebook Calculator

4 Grading Homework instructions: Lab Analysis 55% Sapling Homework 5% Exam 1 15% Exam 2-write up 10% Exam 3, Final 15% 1. Go to and click on your country at the top right. 2a. If you already have a Sapling Learning account, log in and skip to step 3. 2b. If you have a Facebook account, you can use it to quickly create a Sapling Learning account. Click Create an Account, then Create my account through Facebook. You will be prompted to log into Facebook if you aren't already. Choose a username and password, then click Link Account. You can then skip to step 3. 2c. Otherwise, click "Create an Account". Supply the requested information and click "Create My Account". Check your (and spam filter) for a message from Sapling Learning and click on the link provided in that Find your course in the list (you may need to expand the subject and term categories) and click the link. 4. If your course requires a key code, you will be prompted to enter it. 5. If your course requires payment, select a payment option and follow the remaining instructions. ** etextbook: Your course text is available as a low cost online etextbook. You can search, highlight, take notes, and each homework question is linked back to the appropriate section in the etextbook for immediate instructional help. You may purchase the etextbook in step 5 on the homework payment screen. Once you have registered and enrolled, you can log in at any time to complete or review your homework assignments. During sign up or throughout the term, if you have any technical problems or grading issues, send an to support@saplinglearning.com explaining the issue. The Sapling Learning support team is almost always faster and better able to resolve issues than your instructor. Student Centered Learning Outcomes: Upon completing this class, students should be able to: explain the analytical process describe the process of sample preparation, calibration curves, and interpreting results describe the types of experimental error, and carry out propagation of uncertainty describe the preparation and function of buffers make concentration and dilutions calculations Instrumental methods: students will understand the basics of spectroscopy based on electronic spectra and separations based on gas chromatography

5 Assessment of learning outcomes: Two midterms and the final In-class presentations on an analytical method Participation and submission of workshop materials Laboratory: Preparation for laboratory experiments is essential. Before coming to lab, read through the entire experiment Advance reading of the Procedure will help you to plan your time efficiently. It is recommended that you outline the procedure in your laboratory notebook prior to arriving in the lab. Also it will be good to do all your necessary calculations prior the lab. You are required to use a laboratory notebook to record data and observations. Laboratory Reports: Lab reports are required for two experiments; otherwise you must hand in your experiment answer on a 3x5 index card (available in your laboratory manual at the end of each experiment) as follow: Name, Experiment Title, Result in %± Standard Deviation The results are due within 1 week after the experiment ends Labs are graded only on how close your analytical results are to the known values. All samples are double blind in that the instructor does not have the answers. If you want to improve your grade you may repeat the analysis up to two times. You can repeat them only at the end of the semester in the designated make-up labs. One half of a letter grade will be subtracted from the second/third submission, e.g. if you get an F on the first analysis, and an A on the second, you will receive an A- for the experiment. Use the book as an aid to both understanding the lectures AND to understand the experiments. Makeup Exams and labs. There is a built in extra laboratory period for those wishing to repeat a lab. If a lab is missed, you cannot attend another section but must use the makeup lab at the end of the semester or at the discretion of the teaching assistant, your following lab period (this depends on the availability of lab equipment, materials, etc.). There are no makeup exams. If you miss an exam, the other two exams will be recalibrated to account for the missed exam points.
