Chemical Principles 1
2017
http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/~w3chm140

Welcome to CHM110H. I hope that through this course you will come to appreciate chemistry
as an integral part of our culture. You should also become comfortable in dealing with a
changing body of knowledge through developing an appreciation of the processes of chemical
research. I look forward to meeting each of you, to advising on your programs in the sciences,
and to mentoring you as you progress towards your goals.

Rooms to be announced on Blackboard the week before the tests.

Students with another class at this time must inform the instructor by
e-mail of the course and the room in which it meets at least one week
in advance of the test. Those students only will be allowed to write the
tests from 9-10 a.m. in room DV2094C.

Final Exam: Sometime in the period of December 7 - 19, time and place to be
determined by the Office of the Registrar

Personal plans for this time period that interfere with your
availability to write a final exam are not considered legitimate excuses
for missing an exam. Therefore do not make any personal plans for
this time period until the exam schedule is published by the
Registrar=s Office.

 Textbook Assignments
The following Chapters will be studied:
Unit 1 - Stoichiometry - 1-4, 17.1, 5
Unit 2 - Equilibria - 6-8 (plus notes on pages 8-25 of the Course Manual)
Unit 3 - Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry - 9, 13.8, 10.1, 10.5-10. and 11.1-11.7

The assigned problems which are intended to guide you in your study are listed below. They are
available in your textbook and via OWL. The problems will be discussed in your tutorials and
in facilitated study groups. These problems are not to be handed in, however their content will
be reflected in the quizzes and tests.

Policies Regarding Marks for Work Not Done or Submitted Late

AStudents are required to declare their absence from a class for any reason through their
ROSI accounts in order to receive academic accommodation for any course work such as
missed tests, late assignments, and final examinations. Absences include those due to illness,
death in the family, religious accommodation or other circumstances beyond their control@
In addition, students must follow the instructions below.

5. Experiments, Quizzes and 1 Hour Tests

All absences must be declared on ROSI. In addition, within one week of the date of the
missed work, students should submit to the course instructor a signed letter explaining
the reason for their absence. The letter should include the student=s name, phone number,
e-mail address, student number and lab section number as well as the date of and the
description of the missed work. For absence due to illness, an official U of T Medical
Certificate is required. That Certificate or other documentation appropriate to the reason
for the absence should be stapled to the letter. If the explanation is deemed reasonable
(after the documentation is verified), the final exam mark will be used as the mark for the
missed work. If the explanation is unreasonable or if no letter is submitted within one
week of the missed work, a mark of zero will be given for the missed work. Note that a
verified absence on the day that a lab report is due does not excuse you from
submitting a report; it merely allows you to submit the report late without incurring
a late penalty.
THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP EXPERIMENTS, QUIZZES OR 1 HOUR
TESTS.

2. The penalty for late submission of a laboratory report is 5% off per calendar day to a
maximum of 7 days, after which a mark of zero will be given.

3. Final Examination: Refer to the UTM Academic Calendar for these regulations.
 Integrity and Ethics in the Laboratory

Do not compromise your integrity. Only honest and original work is acceptable in CHM110H
and at the University of Toronto in general. This means that when including ideas in your work
which are other than your own (even when paraphrased), they must be appropriately referenced.
Direct quotes must, of course, be put in quotation marks and referenced. This applies equally to
the representation of data as it does to the writing of laboratory reports and assignments. If you
are unsure about what things require referencing, ask your professor or TA.

Occasionally you make a measurement that you think is incorrect. At such a time you may be
tempted to change the measurement or to copy the measurement of another student. I urge you to
strongly resist this temptation. A person who alters their data is of no use in the scientific
community. As well, the academic penalties for such behaviour are severe, the minimum
penalty being a mark of zero for that experiment and the notation of an academic offence on your
official academic record. Recently a number of students who were found to have purchased a lab
report on-line had a penalty of zero in the course and a notation on their transcripts imposed
by the Dean.

AFrom the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters:

It shall be an offence for a student knowingly:
(d) to represent as one’s own any idea or expression of an idea or work of another
in any academic examination or term test or in connection with any other form of
academic work, i.e. to commit plagiarism.@

Matters can be found at http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/osai .

An excellent article written by Senior Lecturer Emeritus, Margaret Procter, entitled AHow Not to
Plagiarize@ is well worth reading and can be found at the following address:
