Course Syllabus: Fall 2024

II COURSE OVERVIEW

Welcome to CHM 135H - Chemistry: Physical Principles! CHM 135H is designed to provide a foundation in physical chemistry for students who intend to follow a science program, primarily in the Life or Health Sciences.   Along with  CHM 136H (Introductory Organic Chemistry  I), these are also the recommended courses for those applying for entry into professional  programs.   CHM  135H  and  CHM  136H  are  also acceptable for admission to any of the undergraduate programs offered by the Department of Chemistry. High-school  level  Chemistry  SCH4U  and  Mathematics  MHF4U  +  MCV4U  or  their  equivalents  are  pre- requisites for CHM 135H, and this course is a pre-requisite for CHM 136H.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:

By the end of CHM 135H, successful students will be able to

•   describe macroscopic properties of chemical substances and explain how atomic or molecular behaviour accounts for those properties, including in everyday situations.

•   solve quantitative chemical problems and interpret the solutions in consideration of molecular behaviour

•   appreciate the inter CHM 135H: Chemistry: Physical Principles Fall 2024Matlab disciplinary nature of chemistry and relate chemical concepts to problems in other disciplines

•   work safely and confidently in the lab using a variety of glassware and equipment

•   collect data using a variety of analytical instrumentation and use Excel to transform and visualize that data

TEXTBOOK:

The required course textbook is "Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change" 10th  Edition by Martin Silberberg and Patricia Amateis. The 9th  Edition will also be supported.  The textbook is available either in print or electronically through the U of T Bookstore at a reduced cost. We will not be using

online homework, so you can also purchase a used book without an access code.

Although we aren’t using online homework, we do have a CHM135 ALEKS class that you can join.  To do this gotohttps://ca.aleks.com/, select “Sign up” and enter the 10-character ALEKS Class Code: UA33C-

4F3GT and click continue. Once you confirm the class information you can access the online textbook one of three ways: (i) enter your 20-character ALEKS Access Code (from a previous purchase); (ii) purchase

access online; or (iii) start a 14-day free trial using the following code: A292E-5C627-18F88-08BCD. If you opt for the trial period, you can extend your account with an access code purchased from the bookstore  or directly within ALEKS
