For the lecture, I used a 0.9 multiplier on the post-exam (you could get up to 90% of the points you missed on the in-class exam back) and I added 6 points to take-home exam 2 and 8 points to take-home exam 3 (beyond the score that is written on the cover page).  This made the average for exam 2 and exam 3 be around 75% (as it was for exam 1).  The total number of points for the exams, quizzes and the final exam was then calculated, as stated in the syllabus.  I extended the grade cutoffs to 870 (A), 770 (B), 670 (C) and 570 (D) and then decided whether to move people up (which in most cases I did) or to leave them where they were (very few, if any), based on my published criteria.  It should be noted that a number of people were helped by a strong performance on the final (i. e., moved up a letter grade), and that anybody who did poorly on the final stayed where they were (i. e., the final didn't affect their final letter grade).

I made no modifications to the laboratory, other than to extend the grade cutoffs down by 10 points.  People were moved up a letter grade if they showed improvement over the semester, or if they had been hurt by a single poor grade.

FERPA forbids me from answering e-mails about grades and I will be in and out over break (and therefore harder to reach by phone than usual).  I will, however, be willing to discuss your grade when the spring semester starts and help you to improve in second semester courses.

Problems and exercises for kinetics from chapter 22 (25) for the next quiz are as follows.

Exercises: 22.1 (25.5), 22.3 (25.7), 22.5 (25.9), 22.7 (25.11), 22.10 (25.14), 22.13 (25.20)

Problems: 22.1 (25.1), 22.2 (25.2), 22.3 (25.3), 22.5 (25.5), 22.8 (25.7), 22.10 (25.9), 22.11 (25.10), 22.13 (25.12), 22.23 (25.20)

Exercises: 7.1 (9.7), 7.3 (9.9), 7.6 (9.12), 7.9 (9.15), 7.13 (10.15), 7.14 (10.18), 7.16 (10.25) and 7.17 (10.26)

Problems: 7.2 (9.2), 7.13 (10.2), 7.18 (10.6) and 7.22 (10.16)

Exercises: all remaining

Problems: 5.2 (7.2), 5.4 (7.4), 5.15 (7.16) and 5.16 (10.9)

From chapter 6 (8),

Exercises: 6.3 (8.6), 6.6 (8.9) and 6.7 (8.10)

Problems: 6.1 (8.1)

Exercises: 5.1 (7.4), 5.8 (7.12) and 5.14 (7.19)

Problems: 5.1 (7.1) and 5.7 (7.7)

Chapter 4 (6)
Exercises: all

Problems: 4.8 (6.8), 4.11 (6.11) and 4.19 (6.20)

Chapter 3
Exercises: 3.1 (4.4), 3.6 (4.16), 3.7 (4.17), 3.12 (4.22) and 3.14 (4.25). For exercise 3.7 (4.17) assume that everything is reversible.

Problems: 3.9 (4.23), 3.22 (exercise 5.14b), 3.27 (5.9) and 3.28 (5.10. For problem 3.9 (4.23) the needed equation is given in the text, but it will need to be modified. For problem 3.28 (5.10) first use the definition of H and treat H as function of S and p, and for part b solve for T as a function of V.

Problems: 2.29 (3.8), 2.31 (3.21), 2.32 (3.22). For problem 2.29 (3.8) use the result given in problem 2.34 (3.24). Do problems 2.31 (3.21) and 2.32 (3.22) in the order given (the answer to the former is needed to complete the latter).

Problems: 2.1 (2.3) (hint: assume reversibility, but note that step 1 is not isothermal so you will need to use w = -pΔV), 2.12 (2.15), 2.34 (3.24).

Problems: 2.2 (2.5).

Exercises: 1.7 (1.10), 1.17 (1.21), 1.20 (1.24), 1.22 (1.26)

Problems: 1.3 (1.6), 1.15 (1.18), 1.22 (1.25), 1.24 (1.28)
