CHM 1 Syllabus 3120 Analytical Chemistry Summer C 2010 Location: BA 126 Days & Times: MoTuWeTh 10:00Am 10:50 AM Instructor: Prof. Andres D. Campiglia Office: PS1 211 E-mail: acampigl@mail.ucf.edu Phone: 407-823-4162 Office Hours: Thursdays from 2:00 to 4:00PM. Course Content: This course will focus on quantitative aspects of chemical analysis and chemical equilibrium. The topics covered in the course will include, but will not be limited to: errors and the treatment of analytical data, titrimetric methods of analysis, gravimetric methods of analysis, acid-base equilibria, redox equilibria, complex formation, solubility, photometric and potentiometric methods of analysis. Text: Daniel C. Harris, Exploring Chemical Analysis, 4th Edition. Lecture Overheads: http://chemistry.cos.ucf.edu/faculty_campiglia.php Grading Scheme: The final grade (course grade) will be calculated based on the total points distributed in exams. Total Points Distributed in Lecture Exams: 100 points. Exam 1 = 20 points Date = 06/03/2010 Exam 2 = 25 points Date 06/24/2010 Exam = 3 = 25 points Date = 07/15/2010 Final = 30 points Date = 08/05/2010 Since the exam dates are given well in advance, there will be no make-up exams except in the case of illness. A written doctors exemption will be required and an oral make-up exam might be administrated instead of a written exam. Final Grade: Your course grade will be determined as follows: 90 -105 points = A; 75-89.9 points = B; 65-74.9 points = C; 55-64.9 points = D; <55 points = F. Plagiarism Statement: Plagiarism of any kind will not be tolerated. Any acts of plagiarism will result in an immediate failing grade in the course. Accommodations for the differently-able students: Students with disabilities who qualify for academic accommodations must present a letter from the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) and discuss specific needs with the instructor, preferably within the first two weeks of class. The OSD determines accommodations based on appropriate documentation of disabilities (Winter Park Campus, Room 203, 407/582-6845).
