All of the notes and exams are saved in Adobe Acrobat pdf files, therefore you will need an Adobe Acrobat Viewer to see it. The advantage of using the Adobe Acrobat viewer is that you are able to see and print the notes as they appear on the hard copy. To download Adobe Acrobat viewer for all platforms, click here.

Answers to Math Quiz (not to be handed in) This quiz illustrates the level of math that we will use in Chem 102.

Bonus Opportunity Problems (BOPs)
Note: I'm primarily assigning odd problems.
The answers are in the back of the textbook and worked out in the solution manual if you are having problems.
Our SI leader, Heather, works out BOP problems during SI sessions.
The solution manual is now included with OWL. You can also go on line and buy yourself a copy. They are meant to be a little more challenging than OWL and a bit closer to exam problems.

BOPs Assignments

Set 2 Chapter 19 - 15, 19, 25, 41, 57, 67
     Notes:  Product-favored means the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
                 Entropy-driven means that the reason why the forward reaction is spontaneous is because of the TdeltaS term in Gibbs-Helm. Eq.
                 Enthalpy-driven means that the reason why the forward reaction is spontaneous is because of the delta H term in Gibbs-Helm. Eq.
Chapter 15 - 1, 3, 9, 11, 15, 17, 19, 23, 33, 35, 37, 41, 43 (& write the rate law expression), 55, Extra Question: Explain how a catalyst works. Include the answers to: Does the catalyst participate in the reaction?  Does the catalyst change the mechanism?  Does it change delta E in reaction?  Does it change the activation energy?
