Chemistry 1413.002, Honors General Chemistry

Department of Chemistry, University of North Texas

Fall, 1998

Assigned Problems: [Introduction][Chapter 1] [Chapter 2] [Chapter 3] [Chapter 4] [Chapter 5] [Chapter 6] [Chapter 15] [Chapter 16] [Chapter 24] [Chapter 7 Problem Set for Credit]

Additional Solutions: [Chapter 2] [Chapter 3]

What is included here?

All problems listed by number are from the course textbook, Principles of Modern Chemistry, 4th edition, by Oxtoby, Gillis, and Nachtrieb.

Solutions to odd-numbered problems are listed in Appendix G of the textbook and are not included here.

When should you work the problems?

Check the syllabus for times when various sections of the book will be covered. Students are responsible the next class period for problems covering material in the previous class period. Except when announced in class, problems are not to be turned in.

It is recommended that you work through the worked examples in the text first, with the book open. Then attempt the assigned problems without thumbing back to the examples or text.

What should you do if you need help?

As many problems as possible will be covered in recitation. However, recitation time is for clarification of the principles and mechanics associated with the assigned problems. You should have worked all assigned problems prior to attending recitation.

If you are unable to work the problems prior to coming to recitation, GET HELP.

Assigned Problems/Activities

Please note: Additional exercises using web and computer resources may be added later to some chapters. Assignments will be made in class and in the announcements section of the course home page.
