14 BL Switch

I am currently enrolled in Lecture 1, Lab 1H for BL (Wednesday lecture. Thursday 11-1:50 lab). Is anyone in Lecture 1 or 2 with Lab 1/2A, 1/2B, or 1/2D willing and able to switch? You would be a life saver.

We have not yet learned how to draw alkenes, which 2-butene is as seen by its infix. This won't be needed for quiz three. (The two shows where the double bond is)

Re: OH- H+ and H2O in balancing redox reactions

OH- is used to balance H and O when the reaction is basic. H+ is used to balance H when the reaction is acidic.

What about indicators should we know for the final exam? What was covered in the review session or what is in the book? Do we only need to know this for 14BL?

When identifying acids and bases in this overall Acids and Bases section of the course, do we generally use the Bronsted definition or the Lewis definition to identify acids/bases?

Re: Quizzes

Professor Lavelle said that the first quiz will only be covering through 10/5 (Wednesday's) lecture. I'm just looking for confirmation that this means the quiz will only include up through orbitals, but not as in depth as we discussed them 10/7 (Friday's) lecture. Correct?

Re: Sig Figs. Problem

I was always told to not round off any numbers until the very end. This could be especially important considering the small numbers discussed in chemistry. So my suggestion would be, when in doubt, work through the problem without condensing any of the numbers and then apply sig figs to your answer....
