Laboratory
Information:
CHM 152IN Laboratory Schedule for Spring 2012 This laboratory schedule contains the schedule for students using the General Chemistry in Action laboratory manual, 2nd Edition by Thomas Selegue and David A. Katz.
Laboratory Notebooks and Laboratory Reports
Chemistry Add-in for Word This is a free download from Microsoft Research for Word 2007 or Word 2010. This makes it easier to to insert and modify chemical information, such as labels, formulas, and 2-D depictions, within Microsoft Office Word
Graphing with Excel A LabWrite Resources tutorial on graphing from NC State University
LabWrite is a resource developed by NC State University for improving lab reports. This is a link to the LabWrite web site.
Important Information:
This is an integrated class that combines both the lecture and the laboratory grade. You must have a passing grade in the lecture portion of the class and the laboratory portion of the class in order to pass this course.
Passing the lecture portion of the course requires a passing average for assignments, quizzes, exams, and the final exam.
Passing the laboratory portion of the course requires attendance to lab and completion of all aspects of the laboratory experiments including any pre-lab reports, quizzes, exams, and laboratory reports as required by your laboratory instructor.

FOR REVIEW PURPOSES notes on metric system, chemical symbols, formulas, nomenclature, chemical equations, and more will be found in the General Chem Survival Manual section.
The Periodic Table This is a link to the Web Elements Periodic Table by Mark Winter, Dept. of Chemistry, University of Sheffield. Probably the best periodic table on the Internet, it provides a wealth of information about the elements.
ChemSpider ChemSpider links together compound information across the web, providing free text and structure search access of millions of chemical structures. With an abundance of additional property information, tools to curate and use the data, and integration to a multitude of other online services, ChemSpider is the richest single source of structure-based chemistry information available online. ChemSpider is provided free by the Royal Society of Chemistry
Exams
This is a link to practice exams from the University of Massechusetts - Boston for their Chemistry 116 general chemistry course. There are a variety of questions, both short answer and multiple choice. Some questions are similar to ACS final exam questions.
Exam 1 covers gases and solubility. The answers are here.
Exam 2 covers solutions and kinetics. The answers are here.
Exam 3 covers equilibrium, acids and bases and pH. The answers are here.
General Chemistry Review This is a link to George Mason University General Chemistry Review multiple choice questions to prepare students for the ACS exam.
ACS Chemistry Olympiad Exams This is a link to the ACS Chemistry Olympiad Exams containing the local and national exams dating back to about 2000. The exams cover the entire year of chemistry, while the 2nd semester ACS General Chemistry Exam used at the college concentrates on the CHM 152 topics. The format of the exams and types of questions are similar to those on the ACS General Chemistry Final Exams. The exams are in PDF format.
Chemistry Videos for Review of Topics
Khan Academy provides a number of videos on various subjects at no cost on YouTube. They are a not-for-profit organization with a mission of providing information. (They do ask for donations) The chemistry videos cover most of the topics for a high school or first-year college chemistry course. The videos are essentially lectures of up to about 15 minutes in length with limited notes being written on a black screen as one would write on a blackboard with some occasional pictures or tables. These were recommended by a student. I have only viewed portions of some videos and have found a few misconceptions, so use these with care.
