4. Chemical Kinetics
(Review: basic factors affecting reaction rates) concept and definitions of chemical reaction rates, rate constant and reaction order, integrated rate laws for zero, first and simple second order reactions, half-life; collision theory and activation energy, reaction profile diagrams, mechanism and rate equations, SN1 and SN2 reaction mechanisms, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.
5. Organic Chemistry
Nomenclature; identification and physical properties of common functional groups, conformations of alkanes, Newman projections, ring flipping, conformations of substituted cyclohexanes, R/S and E/Z system of nomenclature, SN1/SN2 reactions and mechanisms and carbocation stability.
Options: Organic compounds involved in human physiology and anatomy may be discussed.
Laboratory Content
The following laboratory experiments will be selected from the following list and performed during the lab period:
The course will be presented using lectures, problem sessions and class discussion. The laboratory course will be used to illustrate the practical aspects of the course material. Close coordination will be maintained between laboratory and classroom work whenever possible. This will be accomplished by discussing laboratory experiments in class and, when necessary, by using the lab period for problem solving.
Options: Students will be encouraged to view course material in the context of teaching through a combination of class presentations, cooperative learning and tutorials. Current educational technology, such as research using the Internet, molecular modeling software and data analysis with spreadsheets, may be employed.
Evaluation will be carried out in accordance with Douglas College policy. The instructor will present a written course outline with specific evaluation criteria at the beginning of the semester. Evaluation will be based on the following:
Lecture Material (75%)
Laboratory (25%)
Written reports for each experiment or activity will be handed in and graded. These reports may be of various types: complete reports, short reports (handed in on report sheets) or written research assignments. In addition, activities, such as written quizzes or online assignments, may be evaluated. Qualitative and quantitative results of experiments performed on unknown samples may be graded.
Note:
A student who misses three or more laboratory experiments will earn a maximum P grade.
A student who achieves less than 50% in either the lecture or laboratory portion of the course will earn a maximum P grade.
Upon completion of this course, the students will:
Options: For classes with students enrolled in the Bachelor of Physical Education and Coaching program:
