12/6 As you prepare for the final exam, here is a document that lists topics we covered this semester in CHEM 130, as well as the equation sheet that will be included with the final exam.
11/26 Follow this link for the Google sheet we’re using to collect Kinetics Lab Data.  You will need to log in with your Truman credentials to access the sheet.
11/12 Follow this link for the Google sheet we’re using to collect Calorimetry Lab Data.  You will need to log in with your Truman credentials to access the sheet.
11/2 We will use this Vitamin C Report Microsoft Word Template to prepare lab reports for the vitamin C experiment.  The sections in the template mimic what you would see in a journal article in the chemistry literature.
10/24 Follow this link for the Google sheet we’re using to collect Wintergreen Lab Data.  You will need to log in with your Truman credentials to access the sheet.
9/26 Follow this link for the Google sheet we’re using to collect Alum Lab Data.  This sheet will be used for all three weeks of the Alum Lab.  You will need to log in with your Truman credentials to access the sheet.
9/26 Here are some additional problems for practice with stoichiometry, limiting reactants and percent yield, along with their solutions.
9/12 Follow this link for the Google sheet we’re using to collect Density Lab data.  You may need to log in with your Truman credentials to access the sheet.

Below are instructions for activating the Analysis ToolPak in Microsoft Excel, as well as alternatives for other spreadsheets:
8/14 How far could you get in solving this problem?  The problem below integrates several concepts.  By the mid point of the semester, you should be able to work this problem from start to finish.
It is possible to generate ammonia gas by heating ammonium chloride and calcium hydroxide.  Calcium chloride and water are also produced as products.  You conduct an experiment where 25.0 mL of 5.89 M ammonium chloride solution is slowly added to 33.0 grams of solid calcium hydroxide while the mixture is heated.  You collect the ammonia that is produced in a 500.0 mL vessel.  After the reaction is complete and the vessel reaches room temperature (25.0oC), what is the pressure of ammonia in the vessel?
