Chemistry 1105

General Course Information
The course presentation This is your course presentation. In it, you’ll find my contact information, a list of the required materials, grading information, a tentative schedule for topics to be covered, and the cheating and plagiarism policy.
Your textbook The chapter references in the course presentation are for the textbook linked to here. That said, you may use any other textbook you like as a reference for the course.
The Lab Schedule When you’ll be doing what in the lab, how to find it in the lab manual, whether or not a handout is required, and whether or not there’s an unknown for analysis.
The Moodle Site This is the (link to the) Moodle site for the course. I’ll be posting various resources for the course there throughout the semester.

Supplemental Course Material
The first eight problem sets listed below are taken from the “Surrey Supplement,” a set of notes, problems, and lab handouts originally designed by faculty on the Surrey campus.
Problem set 1 and solutions Moles and molarity
Problem set 2 and solutions Percent by mass, stoichiometry, theoretical yield, percent purity, limiting reagents
Problem set 3 and solutions Gases
Problem set 4 and solutions Thermochemistry
Problem set 5 and solutions Equilibrium
Problem set 6 and solutions Acids and bases
Problem set 7 and solutions Acids and bases II
Problem set 8 and solutions Redox, colligative properties
The following are problem sets from Paul Kaushal. Paul is now retired.
Significant Figures and Density and answers Problems dealing with significant figures and density calculations
Isotopes Problems dealing with isotope notation and percent abundance
Nomenclature 1 and answers The first of two compound naming practice worksheets. Answers to both worksheets are provided here.
Nomenclature 2 and answers The second of two compound naming practice worksheets. Answers to both worksheets are provided here.
Chemical Reactions and answers Practice writing, completing, and balancing chemical reactions
Redox Reactions Problems dealing with oxidation numbers and balancing of redox reactions
Empirical Formula Empirical formula problems from percent by mass and combustion analysis.
Stoichiometry Problems to do with the mole concept in equations
Gases Problems to do with ideal gases
Thermochemistry Problems to do with the movement and production of heat in Chemistry
Equilibrium Everything to do with equilibrium reactions
Acids and Bases Here are some representative acid/base problems for you to try. Answers are provided after the questions.
Colligative Properties Here are some representative colligative properties problems for you to try. Answers are provided after the questions.
Colligative Properties 2 These problems were extracted from Silberberg’s Chemistry, second edition, and were typed up by Christine Rogers. Answers (in bold) are provided with the questions.
Example First Midterms
Fall 2023 test 1 and solutions Fall 2023 test 1. This test covers unit conversions, classification of matter, Dalton’s laws, structure of the atom, periodic table trivia, compound naming and formulae, and completing and balancing everything except redox reactions.
Spring 2024 test 1 and solutions Spring 2024 test 1. This test covers unit conversions, classification of matter, Dalton’s laws, structure of the atom, periodic table trivia, and (most of) compound naming.
Example Second Midterms
Fall 2023 test 2 and solutions Fall 2023 test 2. This test covers redox reactions, stoichiometry, and the first maybe third of gases.
Spring 2024 test 2 and solutions Spring 2024 test 2. This test covers the rest of naming, reactions (excluding redox) and about the first half of moles and stoichiometry.
Example Third Midterms
Fall 2023 test 3 and solutions Fall 2023 test 3. This test covers the rest of gases, thermochemistry, equilibrium, and a the very beginning of acids and bases.
Spring 2024 test 3 and solutions Spring 2024 test 3. This test covers gases, thermochemistry, and (the very beginning of) equilibrium.
Example Midterms From Other Instructors
