CHEM 1BL/1BC - GENERAL CHEMISTRY AND COOP LABORATORIES


Chemistry 1BL and 1BC have been designed to demonstrate and reinforce the basic concepts of thermochemistry, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics and atomic spectroscopy. Laboratory techniques such as the use of a voltmeter, ammeter, spectroscope and calorimeter will be introduced.  The analytical methods learned in Chem. 1BL and 1BC are applicable to many other scientific disciplines such as Biology, Medicine, Environmental Science, Physics and Engineering.

Chem. 1BL and 1BC are one-unit courses separate from the lecture course but intended to accompany it.


Laboratory Coordinator: Petra van Koppen, PSBN 3670B.  Email:  petra@chem.ucsb.edu


Lab Final Exam: Saturday, March 16:  4 - 5 PM, Rooms to be announced.


Lab Manual: Chem. 1BL: General Chemistry Laboratory Manual for Chemistry 1AL, 1BL, 1CL, Petra van Koppen, McGraw-Hill Pub. (2001)


Chem. 1BC: Discovery and Analysis in the Laboratory Chemistry 1AC, 1BC, 1CC, Petra van Koppen, McGraw-Hill Pub. (2001)


Also Required: Safety Glasses and Bound, quadrille ruled, duplicate page notebook are required.  Lab Notebooks will be sold by the Chemistry Club, Jan.7-11.

  

Safety glasses must be worn by all students in the laboratory at all times.  You will not be allowed into the laboratory unless you have safety glasses to protect your eyes.  You must check out of your lab (check all contents of your lab drawer) at the end of the course (or if you drop the course before the end).  Failure to do so may result in a charge for equipment not checked in.

  

NOTE: Chem. 1B and 1BL/1BC may not be taken P/NP by science and engineering majors because these courses are required in preparation for the major. 

 

REQUIRED LAB FEE:  A non-refundable $32.00 Lab Fee is Required for this Course.  It will be charged to your BARC account upon confirmation of your enrollment.

 

Studying for Chemistry 1B

         This is not necessarily a difficult course, but most students find that they have to spend time studying to understand the material.  It is important to keep up with the schedule.  Read the chapter as scheduled.  As you read the chapter, stop and work all the exercises as they appear in the text.  This is the only way to be sure you understand the material as you proceed through the chapter.  After you have finished the chapter, work all the assigned problems given below.  This is a minimum list of problems that all students should do.  The solutions manual, available in the bookstore, has the answers to the problems.  Never look at the answers first. Always try to do the problems by reading and reviewing the material in the text.

         Learning to solve Chemistry problems requires you to work the problems yourself.  Watching others (e.g. instructors, tutors or other students) work problems or reading the solutions in the solution manual is no substitute for working them yourself.  You must go through the reasoning process yourself until you understand each type of problem.  Sufficient practice is important.  If you need more practice solving problems, do other problems in addition to those assigned.
