It is necessarily true that some factual material will be acquired by
successful students in this class. It is also true that part
of my efforts are to encourage you to ask questions and discover how
to approach problems. Indeed, the latter may be more important than
the former.

Chapter; Problems:
This is the second semester of the Honors/Majors General Chemistry
course. It is presumed that a grade of "C" or higher was obtained
in the first semester of this course. For students transfering
into this section of General Chemistry it should be noted that at least one
year of High School chemistry and one semester of the Caculus has been
taken by your classmates and it is presumed that this prior knowledge is
available to you.
Any student who has a need for accommodation based on the impact of a
disability should contact me privately to
discuss the specific situation as soon as possible.
(S)he should also contact Disability Resources and Services at 215-204-1280 in 100
Ritter Annex so that we can attempt to coordinate reasonable accommodations for
their documented disabilities.
Recitation Instructor: D. Dalton
Laboratory Instructor: D. Dalton
Text: "Chemical Principles", 4th Edition, Steven S. Zumdahl,
Houghton Mifflin (1998).
Additional Readings:
As the semester progresses, additional readings from the current literature of Biology, Chemistry,
Mathematics and Physics may be made available at an "in house" website named
photon which is accessible from on campus ONLY
or only with office Temple University point-to-point protocol (ppp) access. I have chosen
this method to avoid the necessity of photocopying reading material. Any student who
cannot gain access to the server photon should
contact me for either (a) help or (b) a printed copy of the material.
