Assigned reading, problems and ChemThinks for Scholarship
Chapter 1: What is Chemistry?
RAT over sections 1.2 and 1.3 as well as the ChemThink: Particulate Nature of Matter
Book problems to do to prepare for the RAT: Workpatch 1.1 and Practice problems 1.1-1.10 Due
In addition, even if you have completed the ChemThink, you can always go back and redo the tutorial and/or the questions to study with.
Chapter 1 covers types of matter, chemical and physical properties and chemical and physical changes. The state of Ohio expects you to be familiar with these concepts already, so we will not spend significant time in this chapter.
Chapter 2: The Numerical Side of Chemistry
RAT over sections 2.1, 2.4 (but not uncertainty), 2.6 (p. 44-46: SI units, mass vs. weight and the Greek prefixes milli, centi, and kilo) and 2.9.
Do not worry about the discussion on temperature p. 48-49 or the difference between intensive and extensive properties in 2.7, p. 52.
Read section 2.1 and do PP 2.1 - 2.3 Due
Read section 2.4 and do PP 2.10-2.15 and WP 2.3 Due
Read section 2.6
Read section 2.9 and do PP 2.47 - 2.49 Due
Read section 2.10, do WP 2.10 and PP 2.50-2.54 Due
End of chapter problems due the day of the Ch. 2 test: P. 68: #55, 64, 71 a, b & c, 75 a-e, 80 b, 91 b (no uncertainty), 92, 93, 94, 97, 100, 103, 105, 122, 126, 128, 148, 152, 168, 179, 183, 187 and 202.
Chapter 3: The Evolution of Atomic Theory
Remember: Reading the book & doing the book problems can be a good study technique even if I do not assign the problems.
RAT over sections 3.1 - 3.3 and ChemThink: Atomic Structure due
Section 3.1: WP 3.1, PP 3.4 - 3.6 due
Section 3.3: WP 3.2 due
ChemThink: Isotopes due
