Chemistry 480 Instructors Office Office hrs Email Fall 2014 Carribeth Bliem Kenan 147B M, W 1:00 - 1:45 pm Th 11:00 am - noon [email protected] Nancy Thompson GSB 3252 By appointment [email protected] Class meetings: MWF, 11:00 – 11:50 am, CH 125 Prerequisites: Chem 261 or 261H, Math 232, and Phys 105 Course Goals The purpose of this course is to consider thermodynamics as it applies to biochemical processes, particular changes in Gibbs’ energy; and kinetics, the rates of biochemical reactions. Textbook and Materials • • • Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences, 2nd Edition, by Peter Atkins and Julio de Paula A scientific calculator is required for the quantitative application of course concepts. Note: in-class problems and exams will contain conceptual and numerical questions, so bring your calculator at all times. The Poll Everywhere (PE) response system will be used; during class periods, informal polls will act as a way to gauge understanding and shape class discussion. You will need to register with Poll Everywhere (see below) and always have your smartphone or laptop available to take part in in-class polls. Reading and recommended problems Reading is assigned by class period (see Schedule below). Of course you will get more out of class lectures if you’ve read the accompanying sections of the text and worked the self-tests therein before class. Recommended problems from the text accompany each chapter. You will benefit from making these practice problems a priority and working on them – at length – before you seek help. In addition to the textbook problems, there will be additional recommended problems posted on Sakai. Sakai This class will use Sakai extensively. Everyone enrolled in the course has access at http://sakai.unc.edu by using your ONYEN. Please check Sakai daily for announcements. The Resources Folder will be used to provide course documents including recommended problems, and grades will be posted in the Gradebook so that you can confirm your scores. The Forums Board is a great place to post questions (and answers) about course topics. Page 1 Poll Everywhere Every student will need to register with ITS to have a valid Poll Everywhere (PE) account. Relevant information can be found at the Poll Everywhere FAQ at http://help.unc.edu/help/poll-everywhere-faq/ Scroll down to I’m a student. How do I register for Poll Everywhere? It’s imperative that you register through UNC’s ITS site. Please have your PE account ready to go by Friday, 8/22. Course Evaluation 1) ALEKS i) Milestone Assessments 1-4 ii) Course Mastery 2) Daily work i) In-class PE questions: graded for participation. ii) Homework: five times over the semester, homework will be collected and will be graded for correctness and presentation. 3) Midterm exams There will be three midterms over the course of the semester; tentative dates are in the schedule (see following). Any changes to these dates will be announced in class at least one week in advance. If you know you are going to be absent for an exam, please let me know at least two weeks in advance, and we will schedule a time for you to take the exam early. Make-up exams will not be permitted. Note: for each exam, you are encouraged to create an equation sheet. It must be handwritten and no larger than 5-½ x 8-½ inches. 4) Cumulative final exam At the end of the semester, a course score will be determined from the following weightings: • ALEKS (10%) • Daily work (8%) • Three midterms (19% each) and • Cumulative final exam (25%) and course grades will be assigned according to the following scale: Percentage score 93-100 90-92 87-89 83-86 80-82 75-79 70-74 65-69 55-64 < 55 Course grade A AB+ B BC+ C CD F Page 2 Course Schedule Day W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F Date 8/20 8/22 8/25 8/27 8/29 9/1 9/3 9/5 9/8 9/10 9/12 9/15 9/17 9/19 9/22 9/24 9/26 9/29 10/1 10/3 10/6 10/8 10/10 10/13 10/15 10/17 10/20 10/22 10/24 10/27 10/29 10/31 11/3 11/5 11/7 11/10 11/12 11/14 11/17 11/19 11/21 11/24 11/26 11/28 12/1 12/3 12/5 Lecture material Course Introduction: Fundamentals Chapter 1: Conservation of energy Chapter 1: Internal energy and enthalpy Chapter 1: Physical change No class Holiday Chapter 1: Chemical change Chapter 1: Special Topics Chapter 2: Entropy Chapter 2: Entropy Chapter 2: Gibbs energy Chapter 2: Special Topics Chapter 3: Thermodynamics of transition Chapter 3: Phase transitions in biopolymers Review Midterm 1 Chapter 3: Mixtures Chapter 3: Colligative properties Chapter 3: Special Topics Chapter 4: Chemical equilibrium Chapter 4: Chemical equilibrium Chapter 4: Response of equilibria to change Chapter 4: Proton-transfer equilibria; buffers Chapter 4: Special Topics Chapter 5: Transport of ions Fall Break Chapter 5: Redox reactions Chapter 5: Standard potentials: applications Chapter 5: Standard potentials: applications Chapter 5: Special Topics Review Midterm 2 Chapter 6: Rates of reaction Chapter 6: Temperature dependence: rates Chapter 7: Reaction mechanisms Chapter 7: Reaction dynamics Chapters 6&7: Special Topics Chapter 8: Transport across membranes Chapter 8: Electron transfer Chapter 8: Special Topics Review Midterm 3 Holiday Holiday Chapter 11: Macromolecules – the control of shape Review Final Exam, noon Instructor CB CB CB CB Text F.1-3 1.1-1.4 1.5-1.6 1.7 Homework ALEKS#1 CB NT CB CB CB NT CB CB CB CB CB CB NT CB CB CB CB NT CB 1.8-1.13 ref TBA 2.1-2.3 2.4-2.5 2.6-2.8 ref TBA 3.1-3.4 3.5-3.6 CB CB CB NT CB CB CB CB CB CB NT CB CB NT CB CB 5.4-5.7 5.8-5.11 5.8-5.11 ref TBA CB 11.511.10 HW#1 ALEKS#2 HW#2 3.7-3.8 3.9-3.10 ref TBA 4.1-4.4 4.1-4.4 4.5-4.6 4.7-4.11 ref TBA 5.1-5.3 6.1-6.5 6.6-6.7 7.1-7.5 7.6-7.8 ref TBA 8.5-8.8 8.9-8.12 ref TBA ALEKS#3 ALEKS#4 HW#3 Final ALEKS HW#4 HW#5 CB CB Page 3 Honor Code Policy adopted by the faculty of the Department of Chemistry on September 9, 1977: “Since all graded work (including homework to be collected, quizzes, papers, mid-term examinations, final examinations, research proposals, laboratory results and reports, etc.) may be used in the determination of academic progress, no collaboration on this work is permitted unless the instructor explicitly indicates that some specific degree of collaboration is allowed. This statement is not intended to discourage students from studying together or working together on assignments which are not to be collected.” The Honor Code (available at honor.unc.edu) is the cornerstone of academic integrity at UNC. I expect all students to abide by the Honor Code at all times. While I do not anticipate any problems, I do not hesitate to report infractions. Please note that it is an Honor Code violation to enroll in a class for which you do not have the appropriate prerequisites. Page 4
